West Ham vs Bournemouth - Premier League LIVE: goals and updates, where to watch, TV channel, odds and more

A look ahead to the Premier League fixture at the London Stadium on Saturday

Premier League weekend round-up

West Ham will look to put their Anfield humiliation behind them when they welcome Bournemouth to the London Stadium tomorrow.

Manager Manuel Pellegrini put out five new faces in the side that was thrashed 4-0 by Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool, including Jack Wilshere, Felipe Anderson and Andriy Yarmolenko.

The Chilean will not panic just yet but will nonetheless hope for a much-improved performance from his side as his new starts begin to gel after a summer of change at the London Stadium.

Bournemouth’s start to the season greatly contrasted that of their opponents on Saturday, after they secured a 2-0 victory over Cardiff thanks to goals from Ryan Fraser and Calum Wilson.

Eddie Howe will believe he still has a major card up his sleeve, with record signing Jefferson Lerma yet to enter the fold for his new side after joining from Levante.

What time does it start?

West Ham vs Bournemouth kicks off at 3PM (BST)

Independent Sport will keep you up-to-date with all the goals as they go in on our live blog.

Highlights will be available at 10:30PM on BBC One.

It’s a big game for…

Jack Wilshere: The former Arsenal midfielder was starved of the ball in attacking areas due to the efficiency of Liverpool’s game, and the 26-year-old is still to put in the level of performance that saw him return to the Arsenal first team last season. Pellegrini stated that he sees the England man as a holding midfielder and therefore the initiator of their attacks, which places a huge amount of pressure on a man who has yet to hit the ground running at the London Stadium.

Stat…

Five: Of the six Premier League matches between these two sides, five have ended with each side scoring at least once. The only league fixture when this did not occur was back in August 2016, the first league match at the London Stadium, when West Ham ran out 1-0 winners thanks to a late goal from Michail Antonio.

Remember when…

There have been no shortage of high-scoring encounters between these two sides, and their meeting on Boxing Day last season was a fixture which also consisted of last-minute controversy and a goalkeeping mistake. Marko Arnautovic’s two goals, the first a simple finish after Asmir Begovic’s slip, seemed to have given the Hammers a 3-2 victory. However, in the last minute of additional time Wilson diverted a header from Nathan Aké into the net, which, after being initially disallowed for offside, was given as a goal by Bobby Madley, leaving West Ham incensed.

Player to watch…

David Brooks: The 21-year-old was Bournemouth’s go-to man on Saturday, presenting himself as the vital cog that linked Bournemouth’s midfield and attack together. Adept movement and commensurate precision with his passing left Cardiff bereft of ideas, and West Ham will need to keep an eye on the Welshman, who created Bournemouth’s opener on Saturday.

Fulham need time to build 'spirit'

Fulham manager Slavisa Jokanovic says it will take longer for Fulham to adapt to life in the Premier League as they return to Wembley for the first time since their play-off victory in May.

Jokanovic said they have been working on building team “spirit” and must quickly gel together to start producing their best football.

“We have many new players and will need time,” he said ahead of facing Tottenham this afternoon. “We worked well this week, building our team spirit and working on the way we want to play football.

“We must be patient and I believe we signed quality players without any work so it’s complicated for them,” he added.
