West Ham United v Bournemouth: match preview

This article is more than 7 years old

Losing at Chelsea on Monday before playing in Romania on Thursday night was not the ideal way for West Ham United to prepare for their Premier League debut in their new ground. It has been a slow start to the season for the Hammers and Slaven Bilic will hope to have Dimitri Payet available from the start. Bournemouth, beaten by Manchester United last weekend, won this fixture last year thanks to Callum Wilson’s hat-trick. Jacob Steinberg
