Moyes ripe for glow-up

BACK Michail Antonio to help keep David Moyes looking his best.

The West Ham boss has gone from busted flop to the Glasgow Klopp in about 10 months.

Garlands shower down on Moyesy, now back at a level where he thrived with Everton for years.

It’s expectations. Even if you only counted his brilliant second coming, Moyes still has a worse win rate for West Ham than the one that got him the sack at Old Trafford.

That stat at least looks very likely to change – and the trip to Aston Villa (4.30pm) is set up perfectly for the visitors.

The Hammers will be going for their ninth clean sheet in a dozen games, have a strong set-piece machine and plenty of zip on the counter-attack. Villa are emerging from a very tough run – five Big Six opponents plus a derby in their last seven – and can be trusted to take the game to West Ham.

Brendan Rodgers once called the deadly Antonio (above) “a counter-attack on his own”.

Lots of wise heads reckon Bren knows his onions, unless results go pear-shaped, when lots of wise heads will reckon he’s an utter plum.

Antonio ‘anytime scorer’ can bear fruit for us at 17/10 – that’s juicy on his scoring data.

Last week: Winner at 7/5
