Eberechi Eze is a major doubt for today’s Carabao Cup final versus Manchester City.

The England international was substituted in the win over Bayer Leverkusen on Wednesday and has been in a race against time to prove his fitness for Wembley.

And BBC Sport sources have indicated that Eze is set to miss the showpiece final through injury.

There is also doubt over the inclusion of Jurrien Timber who missed the win over Leverkusen through injury.

Aston Villa have lost their past three Premier League games, while West Ham are showing plenty of resilience and have been picking up points.

Morgan Rogers scored a couple of crackers when Villa fought back to beat the Hammers earlier in the season, and this is going to be just as close.

Villa boss Unai Emery is cutting a frustrated figure at the moment with their loss of form, but they are still in fourth place.

They are going to get back on track at some point and, if they can keep Jarrod Bowen quiet, then I see them edging this one at home.

Sutton's prediction: 2-1

Aston Villa are looking to complete the league double over West Ham today for the first time since 2010-11.

The last time they did that the Hammers were relegated from the Premier League.

The table doesn't lie. For Tottenham it is a real worry. Tottenham have quality players but haven't reached their potential this season. If they can put a performance together where they are all a seven or eight out of 10, there is the potential to go on a bit of a run.

A late change to the West Ham starting XI as Jean-Clair Todibo is replaced by Freddie Potts.

That means West Ham will play with a flat back four instead of three.

Supporters group Change For Tottenham shelved plans to protest at the game, recognising the magnitude of the match.

Fans lined the streets outside the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium to welcome the squad this afternoon, in scenes which would have rivalled a trophy parade.

How long that unity lasts will depend on the performance and if Forest start well and go ahead then the togetherness will be tested.

What a game this is going to be. Tottenham have a bit of momentum after the Atletico Madrid game, they played well within themselves. The result they had at Liverpool was decent.

Today is the big test, today is the acid test. We will see if those performances have papered over cracks or if there is some life in this Tottenham team.

I cannot understate the size of this game today.

A lovely day in Birmingham as Aston Villa welcome an in-form West Ham to Villa Park.

Hammers fans will probably also have an eye on the match happening a bit further down south. A draw at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and a West Ham win here would lift the Irons out of the relegation zone.

Villa are on a poor run of form - having lost their last three Premier League matches - and can expect a tough challenge today against a West Ham side fighting for survival.

Take a breath. Loads of reaction still to come from Sunderland's victory at bitter rivals Newcastle.

But we've got a couple of cracking Premier League games on the way with plenty riding on them,plus the Carabao Cup final later as Arsenal and Manchester City's battle for domestic supremacy shifts to the Wembley stage.

[It is] 10 years since they have played at St James' Park in the Premier League, and Newcastle just cannot beat Sunderland. What a moment for them, probably never dreamed in these last four or five years that they could beat Newcastle. Got up surprising through the play-offs last season, and to do the double over their biggest rivals, one of the best moments their young fans will remember.

No-one saw this result coming at half-time. Newcastle, so good in the opening 45 minutes, have been poor after the break and then been punished in the second period.

All the noise now is coming from those in the top tier behind the end Sunderland have scored twice.

Boos from the home fans at the end of a rollercoaster match. An afternoon that started off so positively for the hosts ends in defeat with Sunderland completing a double over their rivals for the first time since 2013-14.

I wondered if there would be a sort of hangover for Newcastle after that Barcelona humiliation. I think, maybe physically, and physiologically we have seen it.

Eddie Howe after that game said he and the coaches had work to do to bring them back.

Huge cheers from the away end as Sunderland complete the derby double over Newcastle.

This compounds a bad week for the hosts, who drop to four points behind their fierce rivals.

A couple of balls into the box come to nothing for Newcastle.

Sunderland are pretty much there...

We're into the seventh of the seven minutes of minimum added time. There's probably enough time for one last Newcastle attack.

Alan Smith
Former Arsenal forward on Sky Sports

Well, it was in the air wasn't it! Newcastle have given the ball away too many times, and Sunderland have come out in this second half in a really positive mood. They have played some really good football.

Enzo Le Fée off the bench, takes his time [to pick out a pass]. And second time lucky for Brian Brobbey, who has been an absolute handful today.

Lewis Hall goes for goal from a free-kick, the effort is going wide but Melker Ellborg makes sure.

Newcastle corner but it comes to nothing.

St James' Park was loud and bouncing at kick-off but now its near silence from the home fans as Sunderland supporters chant and cheer.
