How to live stream West Ham vs Aston Villa and watch Premier League from anywhere

West Ham's European credentials are suddenly in doubt, and they've got a tough assignment against Aston Villa, who have scored nine in their last three games without conceding. The reverse fixture produced five goals, so keep reading for your full guide to getting a West Ham vs Aston Villa live stream and watching the Premier League game online from anywhere. 

The Irons, who were once in the frame for the Champions League, are in danger of slipping out of the European picture altogether after finding the net just three times in their past five games. An injury to Jarrod Bowen was the last thing David Moyes needed, but with easier games around the corner, there are reasons for optimism.

Villa were on a dire run of one victory in eight before everything suddenly clicked against Brighton a fortnight ago.

There was controversy, late goals and a red card when these sides last faced off, and we've got all the info on how to live stream West Ham vs Aston Villa from anywhere. And if you're out of the country and can't access your preferred domestic broadcaster, you can always use a VPN to bypass any geo-restrictions.

How to live stream West Ham vs Aston Villa if you're abroad

If you're out of the country right now, you can still get access to a live stream - simply drop a shoulder and a shimmy, and use the best VPN around to get past those geo-restrictions.

How to use a VPN to unblock any restrictions

If you're outside of your preferred broadcaster's boundaries, you can use a VPN to unblock any geo-restrictions and watch a West Ham vs Aston Villa live stream as if you were right at home. Here's our step-by-step guide on how to do just that.

• VPN - standing for virtual private network - offers security and anonymity as you browse online, using set protocols to encrypt your data and make it unreadable to outsiders.
• As a part of that, you can also switch your IP address, which identifies your location.
• Most VPNs offer a list of locations where its servers are based to join. Connecting to them switches your IP to appear as if you're browsing from that country/city. In turn, you can then access content locked to that country.
• When it comes to finding a VPN, you should make sure you find the best one that's suitable for your chosen device, with VPN providers offering compatibility for a ton of devices, as well as nifty free VPNs.
• Once you've made the decision for the most suitable VPN for your device and your means for using a VPN, sign-up and install it. 
• To live stream West Ham vs Aston Villa, all you need to do is select the right server from its list of available servers and connect. You'll then be able to hop over those geo-restrictions, with your broadcaster of choice opening its online gates to you.
• We also want to ensure your money is well spent, so we would recommend going for a VPN that offers a risk free trial. ExpressVPN is one of many providers that has a 30-day money back guarantee.
