West Ham vs Aston Villa prediction: How will Premier League fixture play out today?

The relegation battle looks to snatch the limelight on the final day of the Premier League with perhaps the most fascinating game at the London Stadium.

Aston Villa are currently out of the bottom three on goal difference but travel to in-form West Ham looking to avoid defeat and match Watford's result to almost certainly pull off the great escape.

Bournemouth could yet survive, but would require wins for West Ham and Arsenal, who host Watford, as well as a win of their own against Everton.

Dean Smith's side will be confident their extra motivation can outweight David Moyes's side here, with survival confirmed for the Hammers, as well as several big performances in recent weeks to ensure momentum going into next season no matter the result here.

Here is our prediction for the game at the London Stadium.

When is it and what time is kick-off?

The match will begin at 4pm on Sunday 26 July at the London Stadium.

How can I watch it online and on TV?

The match will be broadcast live on BT Sport 1, BT Sport Extra 1 and BT Sport Ultimate, you can find a live stream for the game through the BT Sport app to watch on mobile devices.

What is the team news?

Jarrod Bowen and Aaron Cresswell both picked up minor injuries in the draw at Manchester United, so both players will need to pass fitness tests to feature here. Felipe Anderson is back from a hamstring issue and could pick up some minutes here after remaining on the bench at Old Trafford.

Ahmed Elmohamady (hamstring) is out, while Neil Taylor (hamstring) is back in contention. Dean Smith's main decision may be whether to move Ezri Konsa to right-back over Frederic Guilbert, with Kortney Hause filling in at centre-back.

West Ham XI: Fabianski, Fredericks, Diop, Ogbonna, Johnson, Rice, Soucek, Noble, Fornals, Bowen, Antonio

What are the odds?

Draw: 13/5

Aston Villa: 13/10

Prediction

Villa simply want this more and David Moyes's West Ham have already secured both survival and a number of impressive performances against top sides to build from next season. Dean Smith's side should take this one, but it might be tense and nervy as news filters through from the Emirates and Goodison Park. 0-1.
