What is at stake for Aston Villa and West Ham?

After seeing Liverpool lose 2-1 to Brighton & Hove Albion, and Chelsea downed 3-0 by Everton, Villa will be hoping to consolidate their spot in the top four on Sunday.

If Emery's side can take all three points this weekend, then they will move five points clear of the fifth-placed Reds, and six clear of the Blues with just seven games left to play.

Meanwhile, West Ham currently sit in the relegation zone, though they are only behind 17th-placed Nottingham Forest on goal difference, and one point behind 16th-placed Tottenham Hotspur.

Given that Forest are also set to play against Spurs at exactly the same time as this clash at Villa Park, Nuno's men have a major opportunity to escape the bottom three on Sunday.
