"fraser - Are you sharpening the knives as we speak :-) Let's be honest, much like last last week no one can confidently predict the result. Would I take a draw? Yes, think most would, but this lot are beatable, despite the fanfare."

[BRANDED]

Big game this. Both playing decent football and probably pretty equal in quality. The internationals might have had an impact on some players so will be interesting to see how it plays out. Cagey I recon.

[fraser]

West Ham are unbeaten in their last 10 Premier League games against Aston Villa (W6 D4) since a 1-0 loss in May 2015. Only against Fulham (12 between 2002-2009) and Derby County (11 between 1998-2008) have they had longer runs without defeat in the competition. Not sure we'll keep that up.

[Nutsin]

Villa are currently above us but have had an easy start to the season so far. We win this 2-0 and finish the day above them in the league. COYI’s

[onsideman]

I was a day out actually... the games were early hours of Weds not Thurs. May be enough of a difference for him to select Alvarez but will be a reason he can't select Kudus

[onsideman]

No way will Kudus start given he's playing in another continent on Thursday morning our time and won't be back until Friday. Unfortunately the same may also apply to Alvarez

[Manuel]

"Clearly it will be the same side. As much as we'd like to see one or two changes, but in today's game subs play a big role in most games, just don't leave it too fucking late."

[RM10]

Who would you bring in

[Yarmouth]

"Absolutely no way does Moyes pick Kudas ahead of the donkey. And in an away game? Not a fucking chance.. And that, amongst many, many other reasons is why I want Moyes sacked."

[RM10]

Villa win I think.

[Alfs]

"I'm not hopeful for this one, but then again, after last season I haven't been hopeful for any of our games thus far so have been very pleasantly surprised."

[Mike Oxsaw]

"This has the potential to be a real box of fireworks. As it's the only Super Sunday game, it's more likely to be a complete damp squib."

[the exile]

He will also start with Aguerd rather than Dinos.

[Hammer and Pickle]

Miike’s side is of course the best current XI but Moyes will start with a half-fit Antonio instead of Kudus just to prove a point.

[Takashi Miike]

"he's never dropping potato salad, so........... ---------------------------- Areola ------------------------------ Coufal ------ Zouma ----- Dinos -------- Emerson --------------------------- Alvarez ----------------------------- ---------------- JWP ------ ⬆ ------- Paqueta ----------- -------------------------- Soucek ------------------------------ ------------- Bowen -------⬇---------- Kudus ------------"

[Nagel]

"We won this fixture last year but Villa have improved massively under Emery and their home league form is second only to Man City. W10 D1 L0 since losing to Arsenal in February. They did lose at home to Everton in the League cup a couple of weeks ago though, so maybe that run is coming to an end. Looking forward to seeing more of Kudus. At least when him or Paqueta are on the pitch you have hope of some excitement, so would be nice to have them both on for 90 mins finally."

[Manuel]

"As of last Sunday it will tell us more about where we're at, which currently looks like a side that can finish 7th/8th imo. This is the only game on Sunday, so will get a bit of media attention. I'll go for another desmond."

[charleyfarley]

"Back to the Premiership and another stiff test for us. Betway are offering 12/5 for us to win, which I think are generous odds COME ON YOU IRONSSSSSSSSS"
