“Both these teams were in action in Europe on Thursday, and it is going to be interesting to see how much those ties take out of them – but I still think Aston Villa will win this one,” BBC Sport football expert Chris Sutton said.
“Villa have more quality than the Hammers, as they showed when they beat them 4-1 in October.
“Unai Emery’s side always create chances and, even in their 4-0 defeat against Tottenham last time out, if they had been more clinical then it would have been a very different game.”
