Jarrod Bowen - Active display versus Aston Villa Bowen created three chances, sent in six crosses (two accurate) and made three tackles (two won) during Sunday's 1-1 draw against Aston Villa.
Impact Bowen was one of his team's biggest sources of playmaking here, pacing them in both key passes and crosses and generating a lot of action from the right flank. Despite not scoring or assisting over his last three EPL appearances, the winger is still one of the Hammers' biggest hopes up front as his 14 league goals in 28 matches are already a career-high.

Lucas Paqueta - Takes four shots in draw Paqueta had four shots (one on target), created two chances, sent in three crosses (one accurate) and suffered two fouls during Sunday's 1-1 draw against Aston Villa.
Impact Paqueta couldn't extend his scoring streak to three games in all competitions but it wasn't for lack of trying and the attacker was once again one of his side's biggest threats, pacing the Hammers in shots attempted. Paqueta has been playing great since the beginning of the campaign and his status at West Ham couldn't be much higher than it is right now. However, his fantasy numbers still look a little bit disappointing if we compare them to what he did at Ligue 1 while playing for Lyon.

Alphonse Areola - Makes four saves in draw Areola made four saves and conceded one goal during Sunday's 1-1 draw against Aston Villa.
Impact Areola displayed his usual safety between the posts, making at least four saves for the fifth time over the last six starts and looked on the verge of keeping his first clean sheet since Jan. 2. However, there came Nicolo Zaniolo to ruin his plans with a well-placed one-timed off a pass from the right to beat him and seal the 1-1 draw. Despite not being able to shut the opposition down a lot of times, Areola has still been one of EPL's top statistical performers as his 110 saves over 26 starts put him in second place among all EPL goalkeepers.

Vladimir Coufal - Delivers assist in draw Coufal made an assist, had two shots (one on target) and sent in four crosses (two accurate) during Sunday's 1-1 draw against Aston Villa.
Impact Coufal was once again a great source of offense from the right flank, going up the field whenever given room and delivering some dangerous crosses, including the one that was headed home by Michail Antonio for the opening goal of the game. This was the seventh assist of the campaign for the right-back, who already tied his best mark in the category since joining the Hammers in 2020.

Michail Antonio - Scores against Aston Villa Antonio scored a goal off two shots (both on target) and created one chance during Sunday's 1-1 draw against Aston Villa.
Impact Antonio made consecutive starts for the first time since recovering from the knee injury suffered in November and performed way better than he did on the previous match and that included opening the scoring for the Hammers with a header off a cross from the right just before the half-hour mark. This was just the third goal of the season and the first since Matchday 3 back in August for the striker, who will hope this is a sign of better things to come.

Maxwel Cornet - Training but not ready for return Cornet (hamstring) is back with the team following his injury but won't play in Thursday's match against Freiburg, as manager David Moyes stated, "Cornet is back after receiving tr...
Impact Cornet looks to be making waves in his progress towards a return, as he appears to already be training again after picking up a hamstring injury at the start of the month. However, the club looks to be preserving the player a bit longer, as he may still only be working individually, with them announcing him as out for Thursday's match. This makes a return against Aston Villa on Sunday very unlikely, as a return to full training would have to be imminent for Friday or Saturday to see a return against Villa, with his addition to the team being much more likely against Newcastle on March 30 following the international break.

Konstantinos Mavropanos - Generates own goal in draw Mavropanos registered an own goal, three shots (zero on goal) and one chance created in Sunday's 2-2 draw versus Burnley.
Impact Mavropanos had the misfortune of being responsible an own goal in the 45th minute of play, which put his side down, 2-0, just before the break. However, he managed to balance it out with an overall good effort, recording his first chance created in his last nine league appearances. He also registered two tackles won for the third time his last three league matches.
MARCH 11 • ROTOWIRE
Danny Ings - Nets one in return to action Ings scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) in Sunday's 2-2 draw against Burnley.
Impact Ings came up as the hero for his side, scoring the late, equalizing goal to secure the draw. He entered the game as a sub in the 82nd minute of play, which marked his first action after being sidelined through the previous two league games.
