West Ham United vs Aston Villa prediction: Chris Sutton on Premier League game

BBC Sport football expert Chris Sutton is making predictions for every Premier League game this season, against a variety of guests.

For this weekend's games, he takes on Anna Friedberg and Emily Linden from alt-rock band Friedberg.

Sutton's prediction: 1-2

Both these teams were in action in Europe on Thursday, and it is going to be interesting to see how much those ties take out of them - but I still think Aston Villa will win this one.

Villa have more quality than the Hammers, as they showed when they beat them 4-1 in October.

Unai Emery's side always create chances and, even in their 4-0 defeat against Tottenham last time out, if they had been more clinical then it would have been a very different game.

Anna and Emily's prediction: 2-2
