Unai Emery will opt for a 4-2-3-1 formation as well and might ask his players to sit deep and try to expose West Ham’s weaknesses on the counter.

Key Men
West Ham United
Danny Ings would be eager to impress against his old club when he spearheads West Ham’s attack on his own up top. Both Jarrod Bowen and Said Benrahma will have to carry most of the creative workload for the Hammers on the attacking third of the pitch this Sunday afternoon.
Aston Villa
Both Ezri Konsa and Tyrone Mings need to defend their lines well if the Villans are to secure anything from this game. At the other end, Ollie Watkins will be Aston Villa’s best hope for a goal at the London Stadium this weekend.
Emery will rely on Douglas Luiz and John McGinn to anchor the midfield well for the visitors in the injury absence of Boubacar Kamara and Leander Dendoncker.
