Aston Villa vs West Ham LIVE!
Graham Potter’s first game in charge of West Ham has ended in defeat against Aston Villa in the FA Cup third round. Despite taking the lead after just nine minutes as Lucas Paqueta finished off a flowing move involving brilliant play from Crysencio Summerville, the visitors ultimately couldn’t withstand heavy pressure from the hosts.
In the space of five second half minutes, the tie was turned on its head. Firstly, Amadou Onana equalised as he took advantage of Lukasz Fabianski dropping the ball from a corner - that was awarded in rather controversial fashion - to nip in and poke home from close range.
Then Ollie Watkins put the ball on a plate for Morgan Rogers who made no mistake. The Hammers did create a couple of chances in search of an equaliser late on, both falling to Danny Ings but it’s a third round FA Cup exit for the Hammers who are back in action on Tuesday night against Fulham.

Konstantinos Mavropanos 4
Costly slip in the second half. Seemed to injure himself by trying to head the ball on the ground, Phil Jones-style. A liability.
Max Kilman 6
Fine pass over the top for the opening goal but reacted too sluggishly for Villa’s second.
Ollie Scarles 7
“He’s one of our own,” sang the Hammers faithful about the 19-year-old on his first domestic start. A brave performance from the academy product, who delivered a dangerous corner in the first half.

90+4 min: Searching ball for Aaron Cresswell out on the left, he’s in acres of space but sees his effort blocked for a corner.
From there, the ball falls for Danny Ings but he rushes his shot and fires his effort over the bar.

Can West Ham find an equaliser to force extra-time?
Well, they almost but Morgan Rogers is helping out defensively to thwart Danny Ings at the back post.

21:50 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne
Soler playing quite deep - a like-for-like change for Alvarez is how Potter is using him. West Ham enjoying a steady period of possession, the like of which he have barely seen since the 15th minute.

Jacob Ramsey is denied by the woodwork as West Ham survive to stay in this tie.

21:41 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne
Rogers was just too sharp for Kilman in the middle there. Villa have grown in confidence and in stature since the break. Now they've turned this game on its head.

Ramsey, Nedeljkovic and Buendía are on.
Standard Sport's Dom Smith at Villa Park
21:35 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne
Villa more than a touch fortunate there, scoring from a corner that shouldn't have been. West Ham then even more unlucky that Soucek's deflection into Fabianski allows Onana to nip in and level.
GOAL! Aston Villa 1-1 West Ham | Amadou Onana '71
21:35 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne
71 min: VILLA ARE LEVEL
Aston Villa’s pressure pays off but it’s a scrappy goal for West Ham to concede as Lukasz Fabianski spills the ball and Amadou Onana takes full advantage.
Standard Sport's Dom Smith at Villa Park
21:31 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne
Villa undoubtedly growing, but West Ham have good shape off the ball. Potter is not panicked. He's sat calmly in the dugout, taking it all in.
Two subs made; time for another, for some more fresh legs?
Aston Villa 0-1 West Ham
21:31 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne
68 min: This is better from Aston Villa as Matty Cash gets in behind down the right and his cross just evades Ollie Watkins in the middle.
Youri Tielemans then has a shot blocked before Lukasz Fabianski makes a fine save to deny Ian Maatsen.

21:29 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne

The Belgian is adamant his effort was deflected but West Ham are awarded a goal kick.
Aston Villa 0-1 West Ham
21:26 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne
63 min: Youri Tielemans is convinced Aston Villa should have a penalty for an handball by Edson Alvarez.
The officials are having none of it though.
A reminder there is no VAR tonight.
Aston Villa 0-1 West Ham
21:19 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne
56 min: Morgan Rogers could have been booked a few minutes ago, he has been now for a foul on Aaron Wan-Bissaka.
Standard Sport's Dom Smith at Villa Park
21:16 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne
Yes, it's wasteful by Villa, but they're playing much more aggressively than before the interval. West Ham must stick this period out.
Aston Villa 0-1 West Ham
21:16 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne
52 min: Brilliant defending from Mavropanos to shield Watkins away from the ball as Rogers looked to put the Villa striker through on goal.
The hosts have made a much better start to this second half as Rogers skies an effort over the bar following Bailey’s cut back.
Standard Sport's Dom Smith at Villa Park
21:12 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne
With Coufal coming on for Summerville, it looks like Wan-Bissaka is playing as the right winger in a 4-2-3-1.

21:11 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne
49 min: Decent approach play by Aston Villa ends with Ian Maatsen’s slicing an effort well wide.

Roy Keane sums up Aston Villa's performance
20:57 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne
Can always count on Roy Keane to deliver an honest assessment.
“Villa have been shocking, absolute rubbish,” he said on ITV during the half-time break.
Standard Sport's Dom Smith at Villa Park
20:56 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne
The Villa supporters are making known their disdain for what they are watching from their side, and that is in part an inadvertent compliment to the way Potter's West Ham have played.
Well deserving of their one-goal lead and, as it stands, on the way to the FA Cup Fourth Round.
Aston Villa 0-1 West Ham
20:50 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne
HT: Aston Villa 0-1 West Ham
It’s a deserved lead for the Hammers at the break, Lucas Paqueta with the only goal of the game so far.

Bailey then delivers a corner which is punched clear by Fabianski.
Aston Villa 0-1 West Ham
20:40 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne
39 min: That just sums up Aston Villa thus far as Youri Tielemans, usually so reliable in possession, overhits a simple pass to Leon Bailey and the ball rolls out of play.

20:37 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne
37 min: Great sportsmanship from Lucas Paqueta as he stops the game so that Leon Bailey can receive treatment.

36 min: To sum up how impressive West Ham have been so far, Aston Villa are yet to have a shot, on or off target so far.

20:35 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne
33 min: Kudus stings the hands of Olsen with an effort from just outside the area. The Villa keeper initially spilled the shot but was quick to gather it as Ings lurked.
Standard Sport's Dom Smith at Villa Park
20:33 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne
Superb defensive discipline by winger Summerville there, following Maatsen all the way and tracking back to tackle.
The new manager will have loved that. In fact, I know he did, he's applauding the Dutchman.
Meanwhile, "Ollie Scarles, he's one of our own", sing the West Ham fans.
Aston Villa 0-1 West Ham
20:32 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne
30 min: Amadou Onana is down briefly after colliding with Fabianski.
Concern for West Ham now as Summerville requires treatment.

28 min: Great delivery from Scarles from a corner, the ball drops to Alvarez but he blasts his effort over the bar.
Very good chance, that.
Kudus is then shown a yellow card for a foul on Mings.

20:24 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne
22 min: Ross Barkley is not deemed fit enough to continue and is replaced by Amadou Onana.
That’s a goal and two injuries inside the opening 22 minutes at Villa Park.

17 min: West Ham almost recreate their opening goal as Kudus pulls the ball back for Paqueta but this time Cash is on hand to block the shot.
The Hammers are certainly having joy down Villa’s left-hand side.
Standard Sport's Dom Smith at Villa Park
20:17 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne
Well wouldn't you just know it. As soon as some good news comes along, it is followed by the bad. Fullkrug, who has missed so much of this season and saw a specialist in Germany and in England for an Achilles tendon injury, is off with what looks like a very serious left hamstring injury. Gutting for him and no doubt for Potter.
They'll definitely need a striker now!
Aston Villa 0-1 West Ham
20:16 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne
15 min: The change is made, Danny Ings is on against his former club as he replaces the unlucky Niclas Fullkrug.

20:14 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne
12 min: Oh no. Niclas Fullkrug is going to need replacing after pulling up in an attempt to chase the ball.
Standard Sport's Dom Smith at Villa Park
20:13 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne
Curious to see Summerville playing off the right rather than left. Kudus is in the middle, with Paqueta left. Potter already experimenting in his new role.
And it works! Paqueta with a composed finish for the opener; Potter left punching the air.
GOAL! Aston Villa 0-1 West Ham | Lucas Paqueta '9

It’s a dream start for Graham Potter!

8 min: Ball over the top intended for Ollie Watkins and the Villa striker is inches away from connecting.
Why are Aston Villa wearing an all-black kit against West Ham
20:08 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne
Aston Villa are the home side tonight but they are not wearing their usual claret and blue kit.
Instead are playing in a special strip to mark their 150th anniversary, which is all-black and the crest is based on the one the club had in 1878.
Standard Sport's Dom Smith at Villa Park
20:05 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne
A matter of inches away from THE perfect start for Graham Potter. It looked speculative when Paqueta took it on, but that effort whistled just wide. Fine strike. So unlucky.
Aston Villa 0-0 West Ham
20:03 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne
1 min: Very positive start from the visitors as they break forward in numbers.
The ball drops to Lucas Paqueta who goes close with an effort which draws applause from Graham Potter.
KICK-OFF!
20:01 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne
We are underway in this FA Cup third round tie.
Here we go!
19:56 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne
Tyrone Mings and Tomas Soucek lead out Aston Villa and West Ham respectively.
Time for the player handshakes and then kick-off.
Not long now!
19:51 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne
Less than 10 minutes to go until kick-off at Villa Park!
FA Cup rule change
19:48 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne
The FA Cup rules have changed this season. Replays have been scrapped from the first round onwards, with a winner determined on the day of the ties.
So, if the scores are level after 90 minutes tonight, a period of 30 minutes of extra time will be played with a penalty shootout to follow if a winner can not be found in that time.
Roy Keane lays into West Ham
19:45 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne
Safe to say Roy Keane isn’t fond of what’s been happening behind the scenes at West Ham as he’s delivered his verdict on the appointment of Graham Potter.
"It seems an odd bunch at West Ham in terms of players and what goes on at board level, we see the way they treat managers," he said on ITV.
"They treat their managers really badly I think at West Ham, so it's a big job for him.
"The players look and odd group, they look like a difficult bunch to manage.
"Is it a good fit? I'm not so sure, time will tell."
Standard Sport's Dom Smith at Villa Park
19:40 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne
A huge night for Ollie Scarles, who makes his first domestic start for West Ham and only the second start of his career, after a 90-minute appearance against FCSB of Romania in the Europa Conference League in November 2022.
That's some time ago now, and Potter clearly feels it's an opportune moment to hand another to a 19-year-old who has appeared twice off the bench in the Premier League this season. The West Ham faithful will hope he fares well at left-back.
Pre-match thoughts from Potter
19:35 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne
Graham Potter has explained how he’s been able to prepare the West Ham side for tonight’s FA Cup tie in such little time.
“We’ve had a day in the hotel today, so we’ve gone through some things,” he told ITV. “It’s been really good, the response has been brilliant, I can’t have asked fr any more in terms of how the players have taken on little messages.
“You can’t give too much because there’s not that much time.”
Aston Villa changes
19:30 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne
Unai Emery has also decided to freshen up his Aston Villa side for tonight’s cup tie.
There’s no Emiliano Martinez in goal or Lucas Digne at left-back as Robin Olsen and Ian Maatsen are handed runouts.
Meanwhile, Morgan Rogers is back after suspension and replaces John McGinn.
West Ham changes
19:25 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne
Graham Potter has made three changes for his first game in charge of West Ham.
Youngster Ollie Scarles is named in the starting XI as Lukasz Fabianski and centre-back Dinos Mavropanos replace Alphonse Areola and Jean-Clair Todibo respectively.

Unai Emery praises Graham Potter
18:30 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne
At the start of the week, Unai Emery would have been preparing to face a West Ham side coached by Julen Lopetegui.
Of course, he will be up against Graham Potter in the dugout tonight and the Spaniard has been signing the praises of his opposite number.
“Of course, West Ham, they have very good players. It’s a good club as well,” Emery told reporters. “It’s not good news when they are changing a coach, but it’s an opportunity for him.
“We are going to respect West Ham and we are going to respect him, because he was successful when he was coaching before here in England. He has experiences, and I think he is going to do good work.”
Potter on preparations
18:25 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne
Graham Potter hasn’t had long in the West Ham job and this had made preparations for tonight’s tie all the more interesting.
“There’s a recent history of success here, and that’s what we want to work towards,” Potter told reporters. “It’s only my first day, so meeting the players and preparing for tomorrow’s match against Aston Villa is the main focus right now.”
In the building...

Graham Potter’s West Ham in-tray
18:15 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne
Graham Potter has a big job on his hands at West Ham after replacing Julen Lopetegui.
Potter has signed a two-and-a-half year deal to take over from the Spaniard, who was sacked on Wednesday after only six months in charge, and will get straight down to work as he bids to lift the Hammers after a difficult first half of the season.
Predicted West Ham XI
18:10 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne
Graham Potter is a tactically flexible manager, with West Ham having tended to play 4-2-3-1 under both Julen Lopetegui and, before that, David Moyes.
The fact the game is in a cup competition might tempt Potter to experiment, or he could name a strong first XI in a bid to reach the fourth round and open his West Ham account with a confidence-boosting victory.
West Ham predicted XI (4-2-3-1): Areola; Wan-Bissaka, Kilman, Mavropanos, Coufal; Soucek, Alvarez; Kudus, Paqueta, Summerville; Fullkrug
Potter's message to West Ham fans
18:05 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne
Graham Potter has spoken of his excitement after being appointed as the new West Ham manager, telling supporters that he plans to develop a team they can be proud of.
Potter takes over from Julen Lopetegui, who was sacked on Wednesday after only six months following a poor start to the season with the club languishing in 14th place in the Premier League table, seven points above the relegation zone.

The Hammers were beaten on their last visit to Villa Park in October 2023 but did win here the year prior with Pablo Fornals netting the only goal of the game.
Standard Sport Prediction
17:50 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne
West Ham will hope the so-called new manager bounce will propel them into the fourth round, but this Villa side is one to be feared - especially at home.
The FA Cup is famously unpredictable - or at least that is its reputation - but there has been little surprising about West Ham failings this season. The gulf between the two sides, even with Villa’s injuries, is significant and cup specialist Unai Emery should get the job done.
Aston Villa to win, 3-1.
West Ham team news
17:45 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne
West Ham could be without Jean-Clair Todibo following a rather pessimistic update about the defender following the City defeat. Emerson Palmieri also missed that game through injury.
Jarrod Bowen is facing up to two months out of action, though Lukasz Fabianski could return in goal.
Aston Villa team news
17:40 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne
Villa will welcome back Morgan Rogers after he missed the Leicester game through suspension, having picked up five yellow cards in the Premier League this season.
