Ross Barkley, Jaden Philogene and Ian Maatsen are included on Unai Emery’s bench.

West Ham hand debuts to their new recruits Max Kilman and Guido Rodriguez.

Crysencio Summerville, Niclas Fullkrug, Jean-Clair Todibo and Aaron Wan-Bissaka could also all make their Hammers bows from the bench.

Aston Villa have lost their opening Premier League match in every one of the last three seasons, conceding 10 goals in those matches, but will be looking for an improved performance today.

West Ham United vs Aston Villa

SAVED! Rogers makes a powerful run through the centre of midfield with no one willing to close down the Villa midfielder. His shot is not the best and Areola does well to get down to his right and make the save.

The goal from Onana means no other Premier League side have had more debutants score than Aston Villa in Premier League history. They are joint top with Chelsea on 27.

Bowen surges down the right-hand side at the opposite end of the pitch and manages to find Soucek in the centre of the box. His shot, however, is wide of the near post.

For Aston Villa, Unai Emery hands a full debut to Onana who starts at the base of the midfield. Fellow new arrivals at Villa Park Barkley, Philogene and Maatsen are also all named on the bench for the clash with West Ham. Gauci and Nedeljkovic, who were both signed in January, could also make competitive debuts from the bench after spending the end of last season on loan. Tyrone Mings, Boubacar Kamara and Robin Olsen are all ruled out with injury.

West Ham United vs Aston Villa

West Ham have a number of potential debutants among their ranks after a summer spending spree. Kilman and Rodriguez will both make their full debut while Summerville, Fullkrug, Todibo and Wan-Bissaka are all named on the bench for the hosts. Wan-Bissaka is deemed fit enough by Loptegui despite carrying a knock, but it is too soon for Edson Alvarez who remains out with a hamstring injury.
