West Ham will be without a key defender for Sunday’s Premier League clash with Aston Villa. Graham Potter takes his Hammers side back to Villa Park for the second time this month, having lost in the FA Cup third-round in his first game in charge.

Aston Villa return to Premier League matters at Villa Park this weekend, as West Ham United visit B6 on Sunday (ko 4.30pm). Unai Emery's side will be looking for an 11th consecutive league game unbeaten at Villa Park, having opened up 2025 with two wins and a draw from their three top-flight outings.

Potter says it is yet to be decided if Jarrod Bowen and Crysencio Summerville will be available on Sunday, stating: "Bowen has had one or two sessions and we still need to assess him. It's still early - we have another day so we'll see. It's important that we don't rush him in. It's the same with Crysencio [Summerville]."

Villa have strengthened their squad in the January transfer window, with 21-year-old full-back Andres Garcia joining from Levante while centre-back Diego Carlos has left for Turkish side Fenerbahce
