The 2022-23 Premier League season continues this weekend as Aston Villa host West Ham at Villa Park in what is something of an early season acid test for both sides. David Moyes' visitors have suffered a dismal domestic start to their new term.

Team news and rosters

|---|---|
| Goalkeepers | Martínez, Steer, Olsen |
| Defenders | Cash, Carlos, Konsa, Mings, Chambers, Augustinsson, Young, Guilbert, Digne, Hause, Chrisene, Swinkels, Smith |

A midweek rout of Bolton - with a scoreline bigger than the nerves likely suggested - has at the very least kept Villa in cup competition through the first half of the season, but Steven Gerrard knows he has bigger fish to fry.
The early ugliness of Tyrone Mings being dropped looks to have faded for now, and not a moment too soon, as the ex-Rangers boss could find the heat on the back of his neck without a few more wins.
Predicted Aston Villa starting XI: Martinez; Cash, Konsa, Mings, Digne; Luiz, Kamara, Ramsey; Bailey, Watkins, Buendia.
| Position | West Ham roster |
|---|---|
| Goalkeepers | Fabiański, Areola, Trott, Randolph |
| Defenders | Johnson, Cresswell, Zouma, Coufal, Dawson, Ogbonna, Kehrer, Aguerd |
| Midfielders | Fornals, Lanzini, Downes, Souček, Coventry, Rice |
Forwards | Scamacca, Antonio, Cornet, Bowen, Benrahma |
With his former club Manchester United finally off the mark now too, no manager is doing it quite as tough as David Moyes so far this season, with his European-perched Hammers struggling for domestic success.
Though they are through to the group stages of continental football once again, the poor form that plagued the back end of last term is still suggesting a hangover from their exploits abroad.
Predicted West Ham starting XI: Fabianski; Coufal, Zouma, Johnson, Cresswell; Soucek, Rice, Fornals; Bowen, Antonio, Benrahma.
