Following the crushing defeat to Tottenham, Aston Villa will be looking to revisit their Premier League top-four hopes when they take on West Ham at the London Stadium on Sunday.
Before the Villans secured their progress to the quarters of the Europa Conference League with a 4-0 victory over Ajax, Unai Emery's men suffered a league defeat of the same scoreline against fellow Champions League hopefuls, Spurs.
On the other hand, the Hammers are four points off sixth-placed Manchester United in the Premier League table but the latter would have a game in hand following this fixture.
Like Villa, David Moyes' side are also still in it for a European title this season as the Irons defeated Freiburg 5-1 over their two-legged Europa League round of 16 games.
