West Ham vs Aston Villa prediction 14.12.2025 | Premier League

West Ham come into Sunday's Premier League fixture now winless in four Premier League games after a 1:1 draw at Brighton last weekend. The Hammers had looked set for a priceless away day victory before Georginio Rutter cancelled out Jarrod Bowen's opener at the AMEX.

While the Hammers have not won since a 3:2 win against Burnley over a month ago, Nuno Espirito Santo's side have picked up decent draws against Bournemouth, Manchester United and the aforementioned Brighton. 

Still, a dismal home record remains the biggest issue for West Ham, with five of seven Premier League games at the London Stadium this season ending in defeat. 

Head coach Espirito Santo has just two injury issues ahead of this weekend's PL fixture. Oliver Scarles is doubtful to feature while Łukasz Fabiański is a definite absentee.

Aston Villa arrive in London with confidence brimming after a midweek win against Basel in the Europa League. Goals from Evann Guessand and Youri Tielemans secured a 2:1 victory for the Villains in Switzerland.

Unai Emery's in-form side have now won each of their last eight games, including five successive Premier League victories. On the road, Villa picked up wins in three of their last four away PL matches. 

An entertaining contest should be on the cards at the London Stadium. Aston Villa have seen BTTS in five of their last six games while six of their last seven games also finished with over 2.5 goals scored. 

Villa boss Emery has no new injury issues this weekend. Tyrone Mings and Ross Barkley are the only confirmed absentees for the away side.
