West Ham are back in domestic action today with a trip to Aston Villa, in search of their first league win of the campaign.
The club’s start to the Premier League season has been a major concern, with David Moyes’ side rooted to the bottom of the embryonic table as things stand. Three games, three losses and no goals do not make for pleasant reading.
