Ollie Watkins went off with a cut after Aston Villa’s 4-0 loss to Tottenham, but reports suggest he will be ready to go again on Sunday.
The Englishman’s importance to Villa’s success this season cannot be understated and his ability to stretch West Ham’s defense and finish off chances could give them a slight edge.

West Ham vs Aston Villa Best Game Prop: Both Teams to Score & Over 2½ Goals (-125)
West Ham’s Europa League hangover was evident against Burnley last weekend, but the Irons’ taste for goals reared its head in the second half, and there was no shortage of firepower from Moyes’s men when Freiburg came to town.
The same was true of Emery’s top-four chasing Aston Villa against Ajax. Villa is fighting for a top-four finish while West Ham is battling for the European spots, and we expect a high-scoring affair on Sunday.
