Aston Villa get their FA Cup journey going with the visit of West Ham. Newly appointed boss Graham Potter will take charge of the third-round game between the two claret and blue sides.

For Villa and Unai Emery it is a chance to make up for a disappointing Carabao Cup campaign which ended in the fourth round against Crystal Palace in late October. They are looking to progress onwards in domestic competition alongside a strong Champions League showing so far.

In the Premier League, Villa are still in a tight race for the top four, sitting eighth but just four points from Chelsea. Fifth may well be enough to qualify for the Champions League again, though, and the gap to Newcastle United there is only three.
