West Ham United vs Aston Villa
Aston Villa travel to the battle of claret and blue with a poor opening day record. They have lost their last three opening Premier League matches, conceding 10 goals in those games. Villa also fell to defeat the last time they met West Ham on the opening day, losing 1-0 at Upton Park in 2012-13. Fans will hope the renewed confidence of Champions League qualification will spur their team to better opening day form, having finished fourth last season.
