West Ham vs Aston Villa team news: Starting lineups confirmed as Diego Carlos returns

West Ham United and Aston Villa have announced their starting lineups and substitutes ahead of the Premier League clash between the two sides at the London Stadium.

Unai Emery’s team will be keen to make it three wins on the bounce, whereas David Moyes is under heavy pressure with The Hammers down in the relegation zone.

There is a huge boost today for Villa, with big-money centre back signing Diego Carlos finally back in the matchday squad following a very lengthy spell on the sidelines with an Achilles injury.

One change is made by Emery, with Leon Bailey coming back into the side. John McGinn moves back into a deeper role following the injury to Boubacar Kamara against Crystal Palace.
