West Ham United v Aston Villa live stream, Sunday 13 March, 2pm GMT
Aston Villa will be looking to make it four wins on the bounce in the Premier League when they travel to West Ham on Sunday.
Steven Gerrard's side experienced a downturn between the end of December and the middle of February, winning only one of seven matches and leaving their manager with plenty to think about. Villa have roared back into form, though, beating Brighton, Southampton and Leeds in consecutive games by an aggregate score of 9-0.
European football will probably be beyond them this term. Villa must finish in the top seven to qualify for continental competition, and they are currently nine points adrift of Tottenham in the Europa Conference League qualification spot. Regardless, Gerrard will still be keen to end the season strongly in order to generate some momentum for his first full campaign at the helm.
West Ham suffered a narrow 1-0 loss to Sevilla in the first leg of their Europa League last-16 tie on Thursday. There is still everything to play for in the return fixture, and David Moyes and his players will no doubt have half an eye on that upcoming encounter at the London Stadium.
Moyes will still want to care of business in the Premier League, though, and West Ham could do with a win to keep their top-four hopes alive after a slightly unfortunate 1-0 loss to Liverpool last weekend.
The Hammers are expected to be without Jarrod Bowen, while Vladimir Coufal is on his way back from a hernia. Angelo Ogbonna is still sidelined and the Ukraine international Andriy Yarmolenko has been given time off by the club.
Villa will have to make do without Marvelous Nakamba but Gerrard has no fresh injury concerns. He is likely to stick with the same XI that eased to victory over Leeds on Thursday, with Danny Ings and Ollie Watkins continuing up top together.
Kick-off is at 2pm GMT on Sunday 13 March. See below for international broadcast options.

VPN guide
Use a VPN to watch Premier league football from outside your country
If you’re out of the country for a round of Premier League fixtures, then annoyingly your domestic on-demand services won’t work – the broadcaster knows where you are because of your IP address (boo!). You'll be blocked from watching it, which is not ideal if you’ve paid up for a subscription and still want to catch the action without resorting to illegal feeds you’ve found on Reddit.
But assistance is on hand. To get around that, all you have to do is get a Virtual Private Network (VPN), assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs. A VPN creates a private connection between your device and t'internet, meaning the service can’t work out where you are and won't automatically block the service you've paid for. All the info going between is entirely encrypted – and that's a result.
