Rogers returns from suspension for this game so he will he playing with fresh legs. He has hit the target in four of his last seven games and is averaging 0.5 shots on target per game.
Kudus has been West Ham's most prolific shot taker this season averaging 3.35 shots per 90 minutes and one shot on target per game. He has also hit the target in four of his last seven games.
He picked up five shots against Man City and has only gone below two shots once this season.
With Jarrod Bowen out through injury, Kudus will play an even more important role in the attack and can find the target here.
West Ham are at the start of a period of transition with Lopetegui leaving just yesterday and Graham Potter stepping in as the new manager the same day.
With just one day of preparation, Potter won't be able to do much with his new side and they face an in-form Villa that have won five of their last seven games and have lost just twice at home this season.
West Ham have just two wins in their last eight games and should struggle here.
