Opposition Dangerman: AFC Bournemouth (H)

Having sacked Manuel Pellegrini after last week’s 2-1 loss to Leicester City’s reserve team, West Ham United face a tough test to get their season back on track and start the new year on a positive note with David Moyes back in charge.

But Wednesday’s opponents, AFC Bournemouth, also look to get their winning ways going again.

Since the team’s last match-up in September, similarly to the Hammers, the Cherries have won only two games against Manchester United and Chelsea.

But just like last time, we think that Bournemouth’s dangerman will be their striker who loves scoring against West Ham.

After starting the season with five goals in the opening six games, the 27-year-old has been struggling a lot and most certainly will be looking to break his goal drought.

And the game against West Ham would be the perfect occasion as his last Premier League goal came against the Hammers.

He came close on Boxing Day against Arsenal, but his goal has been ruled out for offside.

But his seemingly poor form has been due to injuries which hit Bournemouth as Josh King, Ryan Fraser and a few other first-team players have been out throughout autumn.
