Mohammed Kudus’ West Ham United have been pitted against Aston Villa on matchday 1 of the forthcoming 2024/25 English Premier league season.
After the Premier League board paired the respective teams on Tuesday, June 18, 2024, West Ham were fortunate to draw Aston Villa on matchday 1 and avoid the big guns.
Irrespective of drawing Villa, Unai Emery’s Viallans proved to be a thorn in the flesh of teams last season, finishing the league in the top four, which earned them a place in the Uefa Champions League.
Meanwhile, West Ham finished the season with a slew of uninspiring results and performances, resulting in one win their last 5 league games; a feat which saw the club part ways with David Moyes.
However, Julen Lopetegui, who has been appointed by the club in place of Moyes to oversee a drastic turnaround, will aspire to get the best out of Mohammed Kudus and the team, in order to avoid finishing in 9th place, but have a buoyant Villa to contend with on August 17, 2024.
