Premier League fixtures today - your guide to Sunday's games
- There is just one Premier League match being played this Sunday
- West Ham face a tricky trip to Aston Villa with both sides looking to extend their unbeaten runs
- David Moyes' men can overtake their hosts in the table with a win in the Midlands
If you were hoping to sit down on Sunday afternoon and feast your eyes on a smorgasbord of Premier League football after a long hard week at work or a Saturday night that contained one too many drinks, you will be sorely disappointed.
With eight men's English top-flight games taking place on Saturday and one on Monday, just a single match remains for viewing this 'Super Sunday'.
While there is still lots of other football on the telly, here is your guide to Sunday's one and only Premier League encounter.
Why is there only one Premier League match on Sunday?
No, this Sunday's small offering of Premier League football is not a conspiracy against your club. Instead, it's because two games were shown live on Sky Sports on Saturday night as Sheffield United hosted Manchester United after Arsenal visited Chelsea
Man Utd's trip to Bramall Lane was initially meant to be played on Sunday but was moved due to the Red Devils' Champions League clash with Copenhagen on Tuesday.
There will still be four Premier League games shown across the weekend on Sky Sports and one on TNT Sports.
Fans can also look elsewhere for football to get stuck into this Sunday. There are five other matches on display; Celtic Women vs Rangers Women, Hearts vs Celtic, Koln vs Borussia Monchengladbach, Heidenheim vs Augsburg and Bristol City Women vs Arsenal Women.
Aston Villa vs West Ham United
- Location: Birmingham, England
- Stadium: Villa Park
- Date: Sunday 22 October
- Kick-off Time: 16:30 BST / 12:30 ET / 09:30 PT
- Referee: David Coote
- VAR: Chris Kavanagh
Sunday's lone Premier League offering has the potential to be a deceptively exciting affair. It may not be the biggest fixture of the weekend, but it still has the capacity to produce some thrilling entertainment.
Both Aston Villa and West Ham have been in brilliant form this season, flourishing under two vastly different coaches. Sunday's hosts have Unai Emery to thank for 16 points from eight games, with the Villans sitting in fifth and just a point off Liverpool in fourth.
Ollie Watkins, Moussa Diaby and John McGinn have all been devastating at the top end of the pitch, while the defensive security provided by the midfield duo of Boubacar Kamara and Douglas Luiz has made Villa a tough side to match over the course of 90 minutes.
West Ham will be in similarly good spirits heading to Villa Park, however, sat just two points off Villa in seventh. David Moyes' men are unbeaten in their last four matches, with Mohammed Kudus' 89th-minute equaliser rescuing a well-earned draw against Newcastle United before the international break.
The Hammers know a win will see them leapfrog their hosts this Sunday in what promises to be an interesting match-up of contrasting styles.
