The Premier League is back once again this weekend for the final set of fixtures before we enter the always-crazy month of December.
There are so many teams up and down the top flight who are in desperate need of some points on the board before this period hits, mainly because momentum can be such a vital piece of the puzzle during the winter schedule. Today, we’re going to be taking a look at what could be a barnburner between two of the season’s surprise starters: West Ham United and Aston Villa.

They may not be world beaters but West Ham have already gone above and beyond what many expected of them this season, given that they were once considered to be one of the leading contenders for relegation. They’ve got a decent squad that definitely still needs some work in the next few transfer windows, but in David Moyes they have a manager that isn’t about to lie down and allow them to slip back into the Championship.
Yarmolenko is touch and go to start after testing positive for COVID-19 during the international break whereas Antonio isn’t expected to be rushed back into the starting XI.
Aston Villa
The talks of Aston Villa doing a Leicester City have calmed down in recent weeks after a few bad results, but that doesn’t mean their season is over – far from it. They’ve still got Jack Grealish and Dean Smith leading the charge in a way that few people probably could’ve imagined given the fact that they were on the verge of relegation just a few months ago. They probably aren’t going to challenge for a place in Europe but the building blocks are in place, and that’s what really matters.
There are some big concerns for Villa across the pitch in terms of injuries with Traore, Heaton, Davis and Hause being doubtful, with Wesley, Barkley, Engels and Guilbert all being ruled out.
