Aston Villa pack their bags to visit West Ham United at Boleyn Ground on Monday evening, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Villans will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 23 and win only 7 of the 45 games.
The previous match played between the two at Boleyn Ground was within the last three years, in April 2003, where the two teams cancelled each other out in an enthralling 2 - 2 draw in a Premiership match.
