The first Saturday afternoon slot of the 2024/25 Premier League campaign is an all Claret and Blue affair, as Aston Villa visit the London Stadium to face West Ham United.
Villa are looking to build on a stunning first full season under Unai Emery, which saw them pip the likes of Tottenham, Chelsea and Man United to a top-four spot and reach the semi-finals of the UEFA Conference League.
The task facing the Spanish coach now is to continue the progress, and the West Midlands club have certainly tried to give him all the tools he needs via an exciting spending spree.
The Hammers will be hoping to follow in the visitors' footsteps this term after an impressive summer, which has seen them appoint Julen Lopetegui as their new boss and make a string of eye-catching signings – with highly-rated defender Jean-Clair Todibo, 2023/24 Championship player of the season Crysencio Summerville and Germany Euro 2024 star Niclas Füllkrug among the new arrivals.
There's plenty of optimism in East London about what the post-David Moyes era will bring, and coming through an opening day test against a strong Villa side would certainly fan the flames.
