A big week for Aston Villa started on Sunday at home to West Ham.
A win against the Hammers would have seen Villa remain in eighth place but move two points behind fourth-placed Manchester City.
On Wednesday, Unai Emery’s side host Celtic in the Champions League still harbouring ambitions of securing a place in the top eight of the revamped league stage and a direct route into the round of 16.
West Ham started the day in 14th after mixed results under new boss Graham Potter – a 2-1 FA Cup defeat at Villa followed by a win over Fulham and a defeat to Crystal Palace.
