Aston Villa vs West Ham United Competition – English Premier League Stadium: Villa Park Date: 22nd March 2026 Kick-off time – 14:15 GMT
Aston Villa host West Ham United at Villa Park on Sunday afternoon in a Premier League fixture that carries importance for both clubs at different ends of the table’s concerns.
Villa head into this one having secured a significant Europa League result midweek — a 2-0 home win over Lille in the second leg on March 19, which booked their quarter-final place. Prior to that, they lost 3-1 away at Manchester United in the league on March 15. Earlier in this run, a 1-0 win away at Lille in the first leg, a 4-1 home defeat to Chelsea, and a 2-0 defeat away at Wolverhampton Wanderers complete a sequence of two wins and three losses from the last five — a side that has been more effective in Europe than domestically. With 40 goals scored this season, a goal difference of +3 and 37 conceded, Villa have enough attacking quality to be dangerous at Villa Park but have been leaking goals at a rate that will concern them in the long run.
West Ham arrive having drawn their most recent outing — a 1-1 home draw with Manchester City on March 14. Prior to that, they beat Brentford in the FA Cup via a 2-2 draw on March 9. Earlier in this run, a 1-0 win away at Fulham on March 4, a 5-2 defeat away at Liverpool on February 28, and a 0-0 home draw with AFC Bournemouth make for a mixed but not disastrous run of two wins, two draws and one loss. The underlying season-long numbers, however, are the most telling statistic — 36 goals scored, a goal difference of -19 and 55 conceded make West Ham one of the division’s most porous side, and the disparity between their attacks and their defensive output has defined a campaign spent closer to the wrong end of the table than anyone at the club would have hoped.
The head-to-head record strongly favours Aston Villa, who have won three of the last five meetings with two draws and no West Ham victories. Most recently, Villa won 3-2 away at West Ham in December 2025. Villa also won 2-1 at home over West Ham in the FA Cup in January 2025, while West Ham have failed to win any of the last five meetings across all competitions.
