Slaven Bilic has warned that there will be no easy ride at Villa Park tomorrow.
And it would be wise not to travel to the midlands with over confidence as the Hammers seek a much needed three point boost.
The boss used his pre-match presser to declare: ‘I saw their last few games. I have seen the energy, seen their quality and they are fighting for their lives.
‘They have confidence now because they have one point from an away game. They are at home against us and they look forward to that game.
‘So, make no mistake, I am not expecting anything easier than against Swansea, Stoke or Manchester United. They have some quality players who can harm you.’
The Hammers look set to be without Andy Carroll and Manu Lanzini but Enner Valencia could start up front for Nikicia Jelavic.
