Ings absent and Bailey starts as Smith reverts to back four system

Sunday’s Premier League action continues in Birmingham as Aston Villa host West Ham United.

Kick-off is at 16:30 BST.

Aston Villa boss Dean Smith makes four changes from Gameweek 9, with Kortney Hause (£4.4m), Marvelous Nakamba (£4.5m), Jacob Ramsey (£4.5m) and Leon Bailey (£6.4m) coming in for Tyrone Mings (£5.0m) and Axel Tuanzebe (£4.5m), who drop to the bench, plus Douglas Luiz (£4.6m) and Danny Ings (£7.8m), both of whom are missing from the matchday squad.

As a result, it looks like a 4-3-3 system for Villa, with Bailey and Emiliano Buendia (£6.3m) flanking Ollie Watkins (£7.3m) up front.

Meanwhile, David Moyes names an unchanged XI from their Gameweek 9 win over Tottenham Hotspur.

GAMEWEEK 10 LINE-UPS

Aston Villa XI: Martinez, Cash, Konsa, Hause, Targett, McGinn, Nakamba, J Ramsey, Buendia, Bailey, Watkins

Subs: Steer, Mings, Tuanzebe, Young, El Ghazi, Chukwuemeka, Archer, Davis, A Ramsey

West Ham XI: Fabianski, Johnson, Zouma, Ogbonna, Cresswell, Soucek, Rice, Bowen, Benrahma, Fornals, Antonio

Subs: Areola, Coufal, Yarmolenko, Lanzini, Vlasic, Dawson, Noble, Diop, Masuaku

    And the top scoring player for me squad this week is 3.9 Omobamidele…

    I knew I should have played him over TAA, Cancelo & Livramento 😉

    Oof thank you Raph. He at least matches ESR who’s on my bench again. 23 points on the bench last week and 21 this. Don’t even have a second keeper.

      Why get tod of Cancelo when he's been so good?

      Okay bench, but I'd rather have Cancelo over Rudiger.

        Chelsea defence is the pace to be. Their midfield and forwards do not matter.

        Rudiger will keep more clean sheets than Cancelo and more nailed.

          Last I checked, Cancelo has more points.

            He has played more minutes than Rudiger so void.

                Rudiger was injured so still void.

          This is real concern, I remember Che conceding a lot of chances not so long ago. They were only lucky. Laporte is probably out now and Stones in.

      I think Chelsea will 100% concede far more goals in their next 10 games than they did in their first 10

      3 goals conceded from 10 XGc is in utter statistical freak abomination territory

      Man City XGc - 6.93 (6 conceded)
      Chelsea XGc - 10.18 (3 conceded)

        So you base that on last season as well?
