Winner gets to keep Joe! Not only is Aston Villa v West Ham the Premier Leagueโ€˜s classic all-claret clash but itโ€™s also a Coley derby as well.

Paddyโ€™s football ambassador played for both so knows a thing or two about whatโ€™s going on at Villa Park and in the East End as well.

This should be a good clash and Joeโ€™s been swotting up on the stats heading into the game with three of his five fancies covered by Paddyโ€™s sublime Super Sub offer.

So, without further ado, whoโ€™s coming out on top in the Joe Cole Claret derby?

Aston Villa need to bounce back from their loss in Europe during the week. It was a difficult game in Monaco, I was covering it and they were below par.

West Ham havenโ€™t kept a clean sheet in the last five so Graham Potter needs to work out what heโ€™s going to do at the back. Aston Villa havenโ€™t lost to West Ham in their last live meetings so can Potter change that as well?

Ollie Watkins is among it again so him to score is a good bet. I fancy Aston Villa to win this game, I think theyโ€™ll win this 3-1. I canโ€™t see West Ham stopping Villaโ€™s front three.

ย 

Watkins is averaging 3.3 shots per 90 minutes played so Watkins to have 3+ shots is a good bet. On the flip side, West Ham cannot stop people getting shots off, the defence doesnโ€™t get tight enough.

Lukasz Fabianski is averaging 3.95 saves per game so heโ€™ll be a busy boy and Iโ€™d imagine heโ€™d make at least three.

Looking at the booking markets, I think it will be feisty in midfield and Edson Alvarez, heโ€™s been laboured and late in the tackle. Heโ€™s been booked seven times already this year so heโ€™s a good bet to pick up another.

Iโ€™m going to go for Aston Villa to win 3-1 with Watkins to score and have 3+ shots. I fancy Fabianski to make 3+ saves, heโ€™s really overworked, and Alvarez to be booked as well.
