Team News
West Ham
Andy Carroll came through 60 minutes of action in a behind-closed-doors friendly in the week and should be in the squad this Saturday.
Diafra Sakho is also back available having missed the game at Stoke and could return to the starting line-up at the expense of Amalfitano.
Winston Reid was forced off in that game with a dead leg but will be fit to start, facing stiff competition from James Tomkins.
Aston Villa
Christian Benteke will now miss the next three matches following his red card against Spurs, hampering not only his team's chances in the coming weeks but his match fitness after a lengthy spell on the sidelines.
Key man Fabian Delph remains sidelined but Villa will hope that Philippe Senderos is back in contention for the trip to West Ham, with Hutton likely to continue to miss out.
Paul Lambert may not make many changes after his side looked in control up to the sending off last weekend, though Carlos Sanchez seems to be struggling to adapt to the pace of the Premier League.
