The first Saturday evening kick off of the new Premier League season will be an interesting affair at the London Stadium, as a new-look West Ham take on Aston Villa. Both sides will be among the front-runners for a European finish in 2024-25.

A new season brings with it new hope for West Ham United, as the Hammers start a new era under Julen Lopetegui. The club finished last term in a respectable ninth, but David Moyes announced before the end of the season that he would be parting company with the club. Lopetegui was announced as the new coach earlier this summer, and the former Wolves boss has been heavily backed throughout the summer.

There will be huge expectation around the London Stadium on Saturday, as fans will get their first look at this new exciting team. Germany’s EURO 2024 star Niclas Fullkrug will be expected to deliver the goals for the Hammers, while Luis Guilherme and Crysencio Summerville both have lofty reputations in the final third of the field.

It can’t be understated how good of a job that Unai Emery has done at Villa Park, and the club will be gearing up for their first Champions League campaign since 1982-83 this term. Villa finished last term in fourth, which was their best finishing position in the competition since 1995-96.

However, the Villa have needed to operate within tight financial restrictions this summer, leading to the departures of Moussa Diaby and Douglas Luiz. But, excellent quality has been brought into the club, with Ian Maatsen and Amadou Onana both likely to be handed starts at the London Stadium this weekend.

Villa’s record on the opening day of the season hasn’t been good in recent seasons, which was evident last term after being thumped 4-1 at Newcastle. West Ham have lofty hopes for the coming season, and they could put on a show for the home fans at the London Stadium this weekend.

Both teams have scored in eight of the last nine encounters, which could be a prominent angle this weekend. Other selections that we like this weekend include Fullkrug to score on his Premier League debut, and Onana and Rodriguez to be carded.
