David Moyes will want to beat Villa this afternoon and maintain his stellar personal record.
After the break for international play, West Ham will travel to face Aston Villa in a challenging test.
West Ham has had a strong start to the season, winning back-to-back games in the Europa League and only losing to Manchester City and Liverpool in the Premier League.
The performances of James Ward-Prowse and Jarrod Bowen have allowed David Moyes’ team to rapidly put their domestic problems from last season behind them.
They face a Villa team that is on a great home run right now, having won ten straight Premier League games at Villa Park. In the final Premier League game played there prior to the break, Brighton was destroyed 6-1.
