Bournemouth v Aston Villa (15:00 BST)

Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe has made eight signings since the end of last season but only two of them - goalkeeper Artur Boruc and striker Josh King - make the starting line-up on a historic day for the club.

Bournemouth XI: Boruc, Francis, Elphick, Cook, Daniels, Ritchie, Gosling, Surman, Pugh, King, Wilson

It's been a busy summer in the transfer market for Aston Villa and more than half their starting line-up is made up of new signings - winger Scott Sinclair, defenders Micah Richards and Jordan Amavi, midfielders Idrissa Gueye and Jordan Veretout and forward Jordan Ayew.

Aston Villa XI : Guzan, Bacuna, Richards, Clark, Amavi, Veretout, Gueye, Westwood, Ayew, Agbonlahor, Sinclair.

the big boys dont like it up and at 'em
we're playing like we did in the championship
our home ground is a cauldron

bournemouth will either lose every game or do a blackpool and be top 5 at christmas then get annihilated every game

Villa are looking absolutely atrocious in possession and Bournemouth are trying but unable to test Guzan. What a shitfest.

So far I've watched United - Spurs and the first half of Bournemouth - Villa.

I'm done

No strikers or defenders, struggling against a newly promoted and arguably better championship team. Villa play their best at the start of a new season and with a new manager effect, so it looks like this season is going to be painful.

Bournemouth are going to be fucking hilarious with their championship football

You are now aware that if Villa see this out, we'll have won 4 out of our last 6 opening games of the season.

Just goes to show really that the opening day doesn't mean that much.
