Aston Villa-West Ham, the probable formations

The 23rd day of the Premier League will see Aston Villa, engaged in the race for a Champions League spot, host West Ham, this year more involved in the fight to avoid relegation than for European goals. Kickoff at 5:30 p.m. at Villa Park in Birmingham.

The Villans are regaining continuity, having won two of their last three games against Leicester City and Everton and drawn against Arsenal. These results have rekindled hopes of Champions League qualification. For the challenge with the Hammers è Emery is likely to deploy Rogers with Bailey and Ramsey in the three-quarter, supporting Watkins's only forward. The injured Onana, Pau Torres, Barkley and McGinn will not be available.

On the other side, Graham Potter s men arrive at the match after a 0-2 defeat against Crystal Palace, which represented the first setback for the English coach since his arrival in January. Potter, in his third match in charge of West Ham, will have to deal with the absences of the injured Todibo, Füllkrug, Antonio, and Bowen, in addition to the disqualified Mavropanos and the possible absentee Summervile.

Probable lineups

Aston Villa (4-2-3-1): Martinez; Cash, Konsa, Mings, Digne; Tielemans, Kamara; Bailey, Rogers, Ramsey; Watkins. Coach: Emery.

West Ham (4-2-3-1): Fabianski; Wan-Bissaka, Kilman, Cresswell, Emerson; Alvarez, Rodriguez; Kudus, Soucek, Soler; Paqueta. Coach: Potter.
