Aston Villa (5th place – 16 points) enter matchweek 9 on a four-game unbeaten streak. They were close to a win over Wolves before the international break but ended up drawing 1-1. This came just days after their dramatic first victory in the Europa Conference League. Ollie Watkins leads Aston Villa with four Premier League goals and has also provided four assists. Alongside the contributions of Moussa Diaby and the return of Leon Bailey, Aston Villa has been a strong attacking force this season.

West Ham (7th place – 14 points) have been grinding their way into the European conversation. Despite ranking low in shots per game, they have managed to score 15 goals and maintain the 8th-best attacking record so far. Their recent 2-2 draw with Newcastle showcased their ability to come back from a deficit. With two wins from two in the Europa League, West Ham has shown significant improvement compared to last year.
