Aston Villa hosts West Ham in this Premier League clash, and the team coached by Spanish manager Amelie is quietly creating a wind of change, and is closing in on the top four without even realizing it. They've been on a roll, winning all three of their home games and scoring 13 goals, and look set to ride the crest of a wave of success. West Ham, on the other hand, are playing with a bold and spirited style of play, with six of their last seven Premier League matches totaling three or more goals, so the best betting strategy may be to go over the median of 2.5 goals.

Emery took over as Villa boss midway through last season on the brink of disaster and pulled his side back from the death, and has built on that success this season, with three wins and a draw in his last four Premier League matches, including a 6-1 thrashing of Brighton at home, where O'Neills scored a hat-trick, scoring four goals and registering two assists in his last three league matches. The 27-year-old striker is in hot form and also scored in England's warm-up match against Australia not long ago.
It's worth noting that striker Mohamed Dyabi, who joined Villa from Leverkusen this summer, has also been in fine form, scoring two goals and three assists in eight Premier League games, and his forward pairing with O'Neills provides a solid attacking presence thanks to his strength, speed and skill.
