Team News: Aston Villa, West Ham United both name unchanged sides

Tim Sherwood keeps faith with the Aston Villa lineup that earned three points against Everton last weekend for today's clash with West Ham United.

Tim Sherwood has selected the same Aston Villa XI that recorded a precious 3-2 win over Everton last weekend as his side welcome West Ham United to Villa Park.

Gabriel Agbonlahor has shaken off the hamstring problem that has kept him on the sidelines for the last three games, but has to make do with a place on the bench this afternoon.

Hammers boss Sam Allardyce also names an unchanged side, sticking with the team that beat Burnley 1-0.

Teenage defender Reece Burke keeps his place alongside James Collins at centre-back, and Morgan Amalfitano fills in up front.

Aston Villa: Given; Bacuna, Okore, Vlaar, Richardson; Westwood, Cleverley, Delph; N'Zogbia, Grealish, Benteke
Subs: Guzan, Agbonlahor, Weimann, Senderos, Cole, Hutton, Sanchez

West Ham United: Adrian; Cresswell, Collins, Burke, Jenkinson; Noble, Kouyate, Downing, Nolan; Amalfitano, Valencia
Subs: Jaaskelainen, O'Brien, Cullen, Song, Nene, Cole, Jarvis
