AVL vs WHU Dream11 : West Ham look to propel themselves into third place today as the side draw a close to gameweek 5 in the premier league
Things started on an adverse footing for West Ham United with Manchester City making a mockery of them as they were defeated 5-0 in their opening match of the season but ever since then, the side have done extremely well to sit in 9th place ahead of today’s encounter. With two wins on the bounce, West Ham United could go as high as third today if they are able to record their third successive win, massive impetuous for them early into the season.
Having been underachievers for two seasons now despite spending massively on their squad, for West Ham, the prospect of moving into third is bound to garner immense momentum into the side. It’s a narrative which would have been unfathomable for the side when the newest edition of the Premier League took bath but with a 2-0 win over Watford followed by a 2-0 win over Norwich City, West Ham have done well to silence their doubters.
Elsewhere their opponents of the day, Aston Villa, sit in 17th spot with just the one win from four encounters. With just the one win in four matches, they have been cleaned apart by everyone and West ham United would be making an advent in today’s encounter quietly confident of sweeping up the three points and continuing their up rise in the frontier league.
AVL vs WHU Match Prediction
The one area where West Ham United came under massive flak for the last two seasons was their inability to use the nous of attacking skill set at their disposal. However the signing of some good players this season has seemed to have quelled that notion with the side’s defence complimenting the attacking unit perfectly to shut down their last two opponents completely.
It’s this complete nature of the side at the moment which should guide the side to another win today, one they should find relatively easy to come.

AVL vs WHU Dream11 Goal-Keeper
Our goal-keeping choice was an easy one to make with us not having to look further away than Tom Heaton for this one. Why Burnley ever let go of one of the best goal-keepers in the league will always be inexplicable with Heaton proving his immense worth and covering himself with immense goal by pulling off some meticulous saves till now.
AVL vs WHU Dream11 Defenders
After having registered two cleansheets, both coming in their previous two encounters, it was only befitting of us to get in a two man partnership from West Ham United composing of rightback Ryan Fredericks and CB Issa Diop. The two are pivotal to not only the sides defence but have been given a free hand to express themselves freely up the park as well and can be persistently spotted making a foray into their sides attacks.
We have selected the two players from the opposition as well, choosing Tyrone Mings and Frederic Guilbert for this match.
AVL vs WHU Dream11 Midfielders
We have three players being picked up from West Ham over here, seamlessly blending in both the attacking and defensive bunch of players in this segment. As we look to imbed goals, assists, tackles and passes into our side, we have gone for Felipe Anderson, Declan Rice and Carlos Moreno-Sanchez from the side for this clash.
From Aston Villa we have picked out just the one player, selecting their top goal scorer with the one goal, CDM John McGinn for today’s match.
AVL vs WHU Dream11 Strikers
West Ham’s leading goal scorer with three goals till now, Sebastien Haller becomes the first player to be picked up by us for this prevelant encounter. Up against an agonising defence, he should find it all too easy to score atleast another goal today while from the other side we have opted for their lone man upfront the pitch as well with Wesley Moraes coming into our side.
AVL vs WHU Dream11 Captain And Vice-Captain
Fredericks has been chosen as our side’s captain for today while Haller is the vice-captain.
