David Moyes is ready to remain unbeaten by Villa in 15 games

David Moyes is unbeaten in his last 14 Premier League games against Aston Villa having won eight and drawn six.

He has never had a longer run against a club other than Sunderland and will be looking for a top six producing victory at Villa Park on Sunday afternoon.

With a fully fit squad and Villa troubled by injuries the Hammers appear to be a strong position for the game.

Michail Antonio has recovered from an an adductor problem and only Aaron Cresswell (hamstring) and Ben Johnson (groin) were still absent due to injury prior to the internationals.

However Villa will be without England centre-back Tyrone Mings and  playmaker Emiliano Buendia who both have long term injuries. Left sided back four man Àlex Moreno is also absent with a hamstring problem whilst Jacob Ramsey has a foot injury and may be ruled out.

The Irons are unbeaten in the last five Premier League visits to Villa Park winning the last three by 1-0, 4-1 and 3-1 .

The game will be shown in the UK by Sky Sports on Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Premier League. It will also be shown across the world by the Premier League’s international broadcast partners.

You can listen to commentary in the UK on BBC Radio 5 Live and worldwide on whufc.com and the club’s official app.
