The final match of Gameweek 5 takes place this evening as Aston Villa take on West Ham United at Villa Park.

Kick-off is at 20:00 BST.

Not one of the 22 players in the two starting XIs sits in more than 7% of Fantasy Premier League squads, with Sebastien Haller (£7.5m) the most-owned asset on show.

Haller was transferred in by just under 180,000 Fantasy bosses in the run-up to Gameweek 5.

All of West Ham’s other players are owned by 5% of FPL managers or fewer.

Tyrone Mings (£4.6m), Tom Heaton (£4.5m) and John McGinn (£5.6m) are the only members of Aston Villa’s starting XI who are in more than 5% of Fantasy Premier League squads.

Dean Smith has made two changes to the side that lost at Crystal Palace, one of which is enforced.

The suspended Trezeguet (£5.3m) is replaced by Anwar El Ghazi (£5.5m), while Marvelous Nakamba (£4.4m) is brought in at the expense of Douglas Luiz (£4.6m) in central midfield.

West Ham’s team news is a lot more straightforward, with Manuel Pellegrini naming the same starting XI that lined up in Gameweeks 3 and 4.

The Hammers are unbeaten in three Premier League matches and have taken four points from their first two away games.

Aston Villa won their previous home fixture, defeating Everton 2-0 in Gameweek 3.

Aston Villa XI: Heaton, Taylor, Engels, Mings, Guilbert, Marvelous, McGinn, Grealish, Jota, Wesley, El Ghazi.

West Ham United XI: Fabianski, Fredericks, Diop, Ogbonna, Masuaku, Rice, Noble, Lanzini, Yarmolenko, Anderson, Haller.

    How has Haller looked?

    1. JBG
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Meh... Looks more like assisting someone, keeps laying the ball off to teammates than shooting himself.

      1. The Train Driver
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Always plays like that and manages to score plenty of goals...

    2. Free Hat
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Little support and no clear cut chances.

    Only 25 mins left! Go on, check the BAPS race and see where your player is at. Mmm those juicy clean sheets. Who needs pool and citeh defence when you've got villa and ham?

  16. Brosstan
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Yea I didnt expect anything from Haler anyway. Dean ruining the game as always. What an attention seeking moron that man is, cant wait for him to retire.

  17. BENOIT
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Mike Dean HAS TO BE THE CENTRE OF ATTENTION .

    Arse bandit

    Stakes are too high for him to use this as an ego boost.

    1. The Train Driver
      7 years, 1 month ago

      It's every damn game he does this, crazy how he manages to keep his job.

  18. Riders of Yohan

  19. jtreble

    4. jtreble
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Dean: good no-call on the Mings-Fredericks contact tbh.

  20. SB007
    7 years, 1 month ago

    forwards coming into view now - template forming. Pukki/Aguero/Abraham

    Wilson/Barnes/Aubam

    Vardy/Rashford/Heller

    Take your pick on any permutation!

    1. Bobby Digital
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I like option A

    2. Triple P
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Auba Pukki Tammy would be my pick

  21. Revival

    2. The Train Driver
      7 years, 1 month ago

  24. Triple P
    7 years, 1 month ago

    1. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Incorrect - he needed to go off he was absolutely useless.

  25. Bobby Digital
    7 years, 1 month ago

    I like A

  26. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Anderson has been shocking for us this evening!

    McGinn has been brilliant for Villa, he is everywhere!

  27. Paracelsus
    7 years, 1 month ago

    So VAR can find a red card when the referee misses it, but can't find a dive when the referee issues a red? What a system!

    1. Jimbo123
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Of course.

      VAR isn't supposed to be fair, get a grip mate

    2. ZimZalabim
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I think it can only be used for straight reds

      honestly the way these idiotic refs have implemented var they might as well have just gone without

      absolute joke

  28. have you seen cyan
    7 years, 1 month ago
