Match Prediction: West Ham

Going down?

They have beaten Blackburn, drawn with Newcastle and lost to Bolton but I'm going to confidently predict that they will stay behind us after this match but it will be a four point difference.

I mean no disrespect to West Ham but I can't see them beating us. I see them getting a goal early on because they are at home but then I see Villa's new look team stepping up a gear and getting more.

Sure they have had a good result on the opening day of the season at home to Blackburn but I believe it was a fluke and isn't going to happen again in the very near future.

I'm going all out for an away win. I'm not predicting the score as I've not got it right this season and it is slowly becoming an expensive habit that could well see me lose quite a bit of cash by the end of it unless I get two results.

I'd like to see Angel dropped to the bench with Baros and Phillips up front, Bouma in for Samuel and Berger playing in front of him but what do I know. I'm not David O'Leary and only he knows what is going on inside his head.
