I believe Villa will win. They are looking to snatch 4th place from Everton. Last weeks loss at home was a minor hiccup in what otherwise has been a great run.

Best 1X2 bet:Villa
Best AH bet :Villa
Best Under/Over bet:Over 2.5 2nd

Best Other bet :None

I think Villa can nick this. O`neill is saying 5th is possible and, apart from last week, they have shown some good away form.

They will be playing for pride also.

How about a 2-1 score to Villa at...17/2

Reckon W Ham can score here...but Villa can get 2.

BEST BET....2-1 TO VILLA

only 1 team needs a result in this one, Villa.

West Ham are safe and have nothing to play for while Villa cannot afford to draw or lose as they risk Blackburn pipping them to the last UEFA Cup spot. If Blackburn win at Birmingham, and Villa get anything less than a win, Blackburn will get the 6th place. Motivation wise only Villa will be at the races.

Previous H2H here do not favour Villa; 1-1, 4-0, 2-2, 1-1, 1-1. Villa have not won the last 5 times they visited. The last time Villa won here was in 1996, 0-2.

1x2- Villa @ 2.3
AH- Villa AH -0/0.5 @ 1.9
O/U- Over 2.5/3 goals @ 2

Best bet- Villa AH -0/0.5 @ 1.9
