Aston Villavs.West Ham

sportsmole.co.uk, 24 January 2025, 13:12
West Ham United midfielder Lewis Orford could potentially be set for his full Premier League debut at Aston Villa on Sunday afternoon.

The 18-year-old midfielder impressed Graham Potter during a cameo against Crystal Palace last weekend, with the Hammers head coach stating that the teenager is a genuine option in the middle of the park.

That being said, it is likely that Spaniard Carlos Soler will be the man for a promotion to the starting XI at the expense of Guido Rodriguez, who was hooked after 45 minutes versus the Eagles last time out.

Looking to avoid two league losses at the hands of Villa in a single campaign for the first time since 2010-11, West Ham will need to be resolute in defence, although they are without the services of the suspended Konstantinos Mavropanos.

Vladimir Coufal is a candidate to join Aaron Cresswell and Max Kilman in the back three for the visitors, who are without an away victory since the Boxing Day trip to bottom side Southampton.

Whilst Michail Antonio, Jarrod Bowen and Niclas Fullkrug all continue to recover from their respective injuries, Lucas Paqueta and Mohammed Kudus are expected to lead the attacking charge for the visitors on Sunday.

Despite being replaced after just 56 minutes versus the Eagles, Emerson should retain his berth at wing-back, with Aaron Wan-Bissaka operating on the right flank.

West Ham United possible starting lineup: Fabianski; Coufal, Kilman, Cresswell; Wan-Bissaka, Alvarez, Soler, Emerson; Paqueta, Soucek, Kudus
