Mohammed Kudus returns from international duty as West Ham United travel to Villa Park to face Aston Villa on match-day nine.
The Ghanaian found the net for the first time in the competition as the Hammers drew 2-2 with Newcastle in front of the home fans.
The visitors are unbeaten against their upcoming opponents in their last 11 meetings (W7 D4). They last lost to the Clarets in May 2015.
A victory for seventh placed West Ham will move them a step closer to a coveted top four spot whilst Villa, who are just one point behind fourth placed Liverpool could also see their status rise with a win.
