West Ham v Aston Villa Odds as all support for Paul Lambert’s side at Upton Park
West Ham United and Aston Villa meet in their first game of the Premier League season at Upton Park on Saturday, as 888 Sport publish a new free bets offer and report all the money has come in for Villa at a big price of 9/4.
Looking at the Hammers (5/4) to begin with, they will be delighted to be back in the big time after play-off success in the Championship earlier in the year.
Sam Allardyce is a manager who has proven himself in the Premier League and West Ham are likely to be a very well organised outfit.
They certainly have a big squad that is full of players who have played at this level in the past. Allardyce has been busy in the transfer market as well, bringing in the likes of James Collins – who will go up against his former employers on Saturday.

Even though they have good finical backing and an array of good players, the Hammers first aim is to stay in the league and like any promoted team, they would take 17th place if it was offered to them now.
As for Aston Villa, after a shocking season last time out they have had a change around this summer and Paul Lambert is the new man in charge at Villa Park.
The Villains will hope that Lambert can have a similar kind of impact to what he did at Norwich and restore some much needed confidence in the squad.
It looks as though the start to the season will be vital for Villa as they don’t face any team who finished in the top four last campaign for the first six matches.
The Midlands club will be hoping that Darren Bent can stay fit throughout the season this time out. Should he be able to do so, then Bent is likely to be on the score-sheet plenty of times this year.
It looks set to be a great encounter and will be a great watch between two teams who look to be very evenly matched. It gets underway from 3pm on Saturday.
