I have backed against my old team Aston Villa in the past couple of weeks but they proved me wrong by beating Brighton and then doing the same to Arsenal.
Unai Emery’s side just keep on going and keep on winning too, and they always seem to find a way to get over the line. They have won seven games in a row now in all competitions, and I think they are amazing.
I am not going to back against them this time, that’s for sure. They have got a brush with Basel on Thursday but playing in the Europa League has not affected them too much recently.
West Ham have turned a corner under Nuno Espirito Santo, but so has Villa striker Ollie Watkins.
Watkins is starting to look more like his old self, and he could make the difference here to continue Villa’s winning run.
Jarrod Bowen will ensure they don’t have an easy game, but Villa have got enough goals right through their team to take the points even if Watkins doesn’t score on Sunday.
I was absolutely delighted to see Emi Buendia get the winner against Arsenal. He has had a lot of injuries to contend with at Villa but I saw a lot of him at Norwich and he is a terrific player.
Sutton’s prediction: 1-2
