Two sides with very different aims this season find themselves too close for comfort in tonight’s clash as West Ham host Bournemouth. The Hammers have had a stuttering start to the season after their European qualification last season whereas The Cherries will be pleased to see themselves in mid table after promotion last season.
The Hammers will be without star man Lucas Paqueta after the midfielder suffered a shoulder issue, resulting in him missing the midweek defeat to Liverpool. Caretaker Cherries boss Gary O’Neil has no new injury concerns ahead of tonight’s match and will look to call upon striker Dominic Solanke to continue his fine contributions in attack this campaign.
