The Hammers have endured a difficult league season so far, with former manager Graham Potter getting the sack just over a month into the new campaign. Expectations were raised when the former Nottingham Forest boss took over in September, and while he has delivered better results, West Ham still find themselves in the danger zone in the Premier League table.

In Santo’s 10 matches in charge, the London outfit only won two games, losing and drawing four apiece, not the type of form to escape the dogfight of relegation. Santo has improved the club of late, delivering just one defeat across their last six Premier League fixtures – a 2-0 loss at home to Liverpool.

Their London Stadium form does not offer much encouragement, since they have lost five of their seven league matches at home, but the positive is that the two victories they enjoyed came under this manager. Despite entering this game on the back of consecutive draws, it is worth noting that both stalemates came on the road against quality opposition in the form of Manchester United and Brighton & Hove Albion.

The manager will use those results as motivation for their upcoming encounter with Villa, as the home side aim for a first win against this opponent in three years. After a five-game winless start to their Premier League campaign, Villa have forced their way into the conversation for the Premier League title.

The Villains are only three points adrift of leaders Arsenal, and after beating the Gunners with the final kick of the game last week, the visitors will be feeling invincible. Unai Emery’s charges beat FC Basel 2-1 in the Europa League during the week to extend their current winning run to eight games on the bounce.

The visitors are unbeaten against West Ham across their previous six head-to-heads, including three wins for Villa, of which only one was at the London Stadium.
