By Andrew Cawthorne BIRMINGHAM, England (Reuters) -Aston Villa missed a chance to close in on the Premier League's top four on Sunday in a 1-1 draw at home to West Ham United whose Brazilian left back Emerson rescued a point after Jacob Ramsey had got the hosts off to a dream start.

Unai Emery was adamant that playing between two Champions League games would never affect his team’s intensity, although there is clearly a good time to catch Aston Villa this season. They have now failed to win in the last six matches after playing in Europe.

The visitors threatened to snatch a late winner, with Danny Ings firing narrowly wide before the influential Lucas Paqueta had a goal ruled out for offside in stoppage time

Leapfrogged by the Eagles in the Premier League standings, West Ham failed to register on a single shot on the goal of Dean Henderson throughout the course of the top-flight battle, suggesting that Potter's decision to switch to a back-five formation weakened the hosts' attack.

The draw sees West Ham move 11 points clear of the bottom three, while Aston Villa remain eighth, four points behind fourth-placed Manchester City
