How to watch West Ham vs. Aston Villa in the Premier League: With and without cable

West Ham United gambled this summer as they replaced David Moyes with Julen Lopetegui. The Spanish manager has been backed very well in the transfer market. Max Kilman, Guido Rodriguez, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Wes Foderingham, Jean-Clair Todibo, Crysencio Summerville, Luis Guilherme and Niclas Fullkrug have all been recruited to the Hammers.

Under Moyes, West Ham won the Europa Conference League in 2023 but they will be without European competition in the upcoming campaign. Given the players that they have signed, the Hammers will be expected to qualify for Europe this season. They start their campaign against Aston Villa who finished fourth in the Premier League last season and qualified for the Champions League.
