the premier league fixture list was announced on 18 june 2012 and it gave villa an away tie against newly promoted west ham united to open the new season. there were no meetings between the two clubs last season as west ham were consigned to the championship, but ironically this was the opening fixture for villa in the 2010–11 season which resulted in a 0–3 victory in villa's favour, in which james milner scored his last goal in his final appearance for the villans before his move to manchester city. the league cup second round draw also took place in august with villa being handed a home tie versus league one side tranmere rovers to be played on 28 august. villa's first league game of the new season ended in defeat as they went down 0–1 to west ham, courtesy of a kevin nolan strike, at upton park. on 24 august, the club were dealt a massive blow when promising young midfielder gary gardner was ruled out for the entire season with an anterior cruciate ligament (acl) injury in his right knee. this was his second acl injury after previously injuring his left knee, in december 2009. the same day, jean makoun completed a long-awaited loan move to french ligue 1 club rennes. after experiencing supposed work permit issues, unabling him to take any part as a player of aston villa, paul lambert admitted he had never even met the player and that he was not part of his plans. a day later, villa lost their second league game of the season 1–3 to everton. goals from steven pienaar, marouane fellaini and nikica jelavić gave the toffees a 0–3 half-time lead, before ciaran clark was sent off for villa after fouling jelavić, who at the time was the last man. karim el ahmadi scored from 30 yards, his first for villa, but ultimately it was just a consolation. villa and lambert's first win of the new season came in the league cup against tranmere rovers. goals from fabian delph, chris herd and a first competitive goal since february 2012 for darren bent sealed a 3–0 victory for the villans. the following day, villa signed england under-21 left back joe bennett from middlesbrough on a four-year deal, for a fee rumoured to be between £2.5 and 4 million. upon his arrival, bennett stated, "i am really excited to have joined a massive club in aston villa and i'm eager to fight for a starting place and get in the team." on 30 august, villa drew manchester city in the third round of the league cup. the match took place on 25 september at the etihad stadium.
