Hammers looking for revenge in Premier League after FA Cup defeat
West Ham are looking for a response when Graham Potter takes his side to Aston Villa in the Premier League.
Potter lost his first game in charge of the Hammers to Villa in the FA Cup earlier this month and was dealt another setback last time out.
The Irons lost 2-0 to Crystal Palace last weekend to underline the size of the challenge that awaits the former Chelsea manager.
Villa striker Jhon Duran is set to be a talking point, too. West Ham have renewed their interest in the Colombia international, having tried to sign him last summer.
Unai Emery’s side lost 1-0 away at Monaco in the Champions League on Tuesday night but sit eighth in the Premier League table and will hope to make in-roads towards the top five.
Here’s everything you need to know about the game.
Aston Villa vs West Ham is scheduled for a 4.30pm GMT kick-off time on Sunday 26 January 2025.
Villa Park in Birmingham will host.
TV channel: The game will be broadcast on Sky Sports Main Event, Sky Sports Premier League and Sky Sports Ultra HDR.
Live stream: Subscribers will be able to watch on a live stream via the Sky Go app.
John McGinn is believed to be closing in on a return to action, although all of Amadou Onana, Ross Barkley and Pau Torres are expected to miss out.
West Ham remain without Michail Antonio, Jarrod Bowen and Niclas Fullkrug. Crysencio Summerville will need to be assessed, while Jean-Clair Todibo is a doubt.
Konstantinos Mavropanos is suspended following his red card against Palace last week.
