Aston Villa will travel to Upton Park tomorrow evening with their new-look squad hoping to claim all three points. O'Leary's men have picked up 5 points from 4 games so far this season and a win against West Ham could push them up as high as fifth place in the early season table. Aston Villa team news: New signings Wilfred Bouma and James Milner are expected to make their debut at Upton Park. Lee Hendrie has served his three-game suspension and is available for selection again whilst Patrik Berger is hoping to make his first competetive start for the club. O'Leary has a fully-fit strike force to pick from but he is expected to stick with Baros and Phillips upfront.

West Ham team news: Alan Pardew has the luxury of a fully-fit squad to choose from as all of the players who were on international duty last week are fit and available for selection. After a reasonably strong start to the season, it is likely that he will name an unchanged line-up with Sheringham and Harewood starting in attack.

History of this fixture: Aston Villa and West Ham have met a total of 90 times and the Villans have been victorious on 31 occasions. West Ham have won 35 of the meetings with the other 25 matches ending in a draw. However, Aston Villa have a poor away record against The Hammers as they have won only 7 of their 45 games at Upton Park. The last time these two teams met was in 2003 when they fought out an entertaining 2-2 draw.

Match betting: Aston Villa win - 6/4
West Ham win - 6/4
Draw - 11/5
