Joe Mercer's Villa return to Villa Park after successive away games and turn the tables on West Ham - their conquerers at Upton Park two games earlier. As a result Villa make it two wins, both at home, and two defeats, both away, on their return to the top flight with ten goals scored and thirteen conceded.
