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.

    This is how fpl kills you. Letting your whu/avl defenders keep a cs into the 80th minute.
