Steven Gerrard has been a little prickly about his Villa side as they lost at Crystal Palace last time out and despite their narrow home win against Everton in Matchweek 2, they’ve lost two of their opening three games of the season and a serious injury to summer signing Diego Carlos has impacted Villa too. Villa need a good run of results to build some positive vibes.

West Ham have lost their opening three Premier League games without scoring a goal, as they sit bottom of the table. However, David Moyes’ side have advanced to the Europa Conference League group stage after going through the playoffs and they can now focus fully on kickstarting their Premier League campaign. With the Hammers also set to spend big in the final days of the transfer window, it feels a little too early to say whether or not the east London club will take a step back this season.

Gerrard isn’t shy in sharing his opinion and he’s not happy with what he’s seeing from his Aston Villa side so far this season. After spending big over the last few transfer windows, this is a squad which should be pushing for a top 10 finish, and probably more. Instead, defensive mistakes continue to cost Villa dear and that is angering Gerrard. They had a big win at Bolton in the League Cup in midweek so that could get their confidence flowing.

For the Hammers, they need a win quickly to stop any fears about this season
