Playing Olympiacos just a few days after getting 'Tempurad' by Villa can be seen as a chance of a quick redemption, or as a further drain on what looked like a 'leggy' 1st team, or a chance for David Moyes to implement a plan 'B' that might form part of his future plan 'A'!

Unfortunately Emerson is banned for the next domestic home game against Everton on Sunday, so he will definitely feature against the Greek giants (literally). Dino, or Stan the Man Mavropanos, whichever moniker you like to give him will surely start given his Greeky descendancy.

Villa: Martinez, Cash, Konsa, Torres, Digne, Kamara, Luiz, McGinn (c), Diaby, Watkins, Zaniolo. Subs: Olsen, Carlos, Tielemans, Traore, Chambers, Lenglet, Bailey, Dendoncker, Kellyman.
West Ham: Areola, Coufal, Zouma (c), Aguerd, Emerson, Alvarez, Ward-Prowse, Soucek, Bowen, Antonio, Paqueta. Subs: Fabianski, Fornals, Kudus, Mavropanos, Ings, Ogbonna, Benrahma, Kehrer, Mubama.

Premier League football returns after the international break and West Ham return to action with a tough trip to Villa Park to face Aston Villa on Sunday afternoon.

The Hammers have enjoyed a solid start to the 2023/24 campaign having won four and lost just two of their eight Premier League games so far. A 3-1 victory over Chelsea has been a particular highlight while David Moyes’ men have also picked up impressive wins over Brighton, Luton and Sheffield
United.

Sunday's 'six pointer' away to Aston Villa heralds Hammers 'frenzied' seven games in 21 days schedule ahead of the next ludicrous International break. While a game once every three days might seem a little extreme to some fans, they should remember what it is like to be in football's nether regions of watching on while their competitors 'Lord it up' in Europe and in the domestic cups, not forgetting the Premier League as well.

The ludricously timed International break has far reaching consequences for some clubs more than others, those that have massive squads are less affected than those who don't and West Ham fall in to the 2nd catergory. Hammers first team and the club's 'significant' bench pails in to insignificance compare to that say of Man City or Chelsea and yet ALL teams are expected to field strong teams as the Premier league returns this weekend.

Due to the advancement of new technology, numerous gaming websites are available online today. That means you only need to navigate the internet, choose a platform that offers your favorite games, and get started. However, before settling on the gaming platform, you need to be skeptical to be sure you select the right gaming website. It would help to look at essential things before settling on gaming on a specific website. Below are the top things you must consider when selecting a gaming platform.

Having finally been re-selected for England, Jarrod Bowen was the sent on a 'mission to nowhere' by his attention-seeking team mates. In what was clearly an exercise of giving Southgate's 'B' team a run out and attempted retrospective blame removal, Bowen was virtually ignored for the entire 'Snore Draw' friendly against Australia at Wembley last night.

Due to the 'saturated' media coverage that now encompasses West Ham, particularly since the club has appeared in Europe three years on the spin. There appears to be a growing tendency for certain outlets to insist on having a scapegoat in the team.

Having become a 'serial offender' when it comes to outrageously inept refereeing decisions in what is supposed to be the 'best' league in World football, there has been a clamour to 'relegate' Peter Bankes from the field for at least one month, with many seeking his permanent removal from the list of 'elite' referees.

Now it is a natural instinct among supporters of ALL football clubs to question the ability of those officiating each game.

Time and time again supporters feel that their team have been 'ROBBED' as a result of poor refereeing or dubious V.A.R decisions and the game in London this afternoon between West Ham and Newcastle was NO exception!
