On Sunday, West Ham welcome Bournemouth to the London Stadium for their first ever Premier League fixture at the new ground.
The Hammers opened the season on Monday at Stamford Bridge and suffered a 2-1 defeat thanks to an 89th-minute winner from Chelsea’s Diego Costa and hope to bounce back in style.
In this fixture last season, Bournemouth edged a seven-goal thriller 4-3 thanks to a hat-trick from Callum Wilson.
Down at the Vitality Stadium, the Hammers had their revenge with a 3-1 away win with goals from Enner Valencia and Dimitri Payet.
Injuries have plagued the Hammers squad already this early on into the new season, but they have the strength in depth to beat the Cherries.
We’ve tried out hand at predicting the starting XI and bench for the Hammers for the Sunday afternoon clash. This team is more than strong enough to do the business over Bournemouth.
