West Ham United v Bournemouth: match preview

West Ham United v Bournemouth
West Ham United v Bournemouth: probable starters in bold, contenders in light

Bournemouth performed well against Liverpool but all they had to show for their spirited effort at Anfield was a tale of misfortune after a night that was defined by two poor refereeing decisions. Eddie Howe’s side are goalless and pointless after their first two matches. Will it be third time lucky against West Ham? Slaven Bilic’s side are reeling from their defeat to Leicester City last Saturday and Upton Park will a nervy place if the Cherries pick up their first Premier League win. Jacob Steinberg
