Supporters full of confidence for final game

|

Over 70% Claret and Hugh readers believe West Ham will finish the seaosn with a win over Aston Villa this afternoon at the London Stadium.

22% say it could end in a stalemate while just 8% predict a last day loss for the Hammers.

West Ham are unbeaten in their past four home league games against Aston Villa without conceding a goal (W2, D2).

The Hammers can equal their longest run of top-flight home clean sheets against a single opponent, while Villa can equal their record of five top-flight away matches without scoring in a particular fixture.

Villa’s only win in the last seven Premier League meetings came at home in May 2015 (D4, L2).

The Hammers have earned 11 points from their past six games, as many as they managed in the previous 17 league fixtures.

A West Ham win could win successive home league matches for the first time in 10 months.

West Ham won their final Premier League game in each of the previous three seasons.

David Moyes’ side have scored three goals or more in six Premier League matches in 2020, a record only bettered by Manchester City, with seven.

West Ham have dropped 26 points from winning positions this season, more than any other side in the division.

Michail Antonio has scored eight goals in the Premier League since the restart, the joint-most of any player alongside Raheem Sterling. He now has a career-best 10 Premier League goals for the season.

Aston Villa haven’t won their final league match in any of the past eight seasons (D2, L6).

Their only away league victory in 14 attempts came at Burnley on New Year’s Day, and they are on a current winless run of seven (D3, L4).

Villa have earned seven points from three games, compared to six points from their previous 13.

It’s 25 successive away games without a clean sheet in the Premier League for Villa since a 0-0 draw with West Brom in January 2016.

Dean Smith’s side have conceded 23 Premier League goals in the final 30 minutes of away matches this season, seven more than any other side.
