“A shame” | Pundit shares Potter concern for Cherries visit | OneFootball

Chris Sutton feels West Ham are likely to come up short today when we take on Bournemouth at the London Stadium.

The Hammers face off against a Cherries side who are still very much in the hunt for European qualification, however their recent dip in form gives hope that Graham Potters side can finally kick on and produce a complete display to grab a much needed win.

This though is not the view of Sutton, with the BBC Sport pundit feeling that Bournemouth will have too much for the struggling Irons.

“Bournemouth are out of the FA Cup and have picked up only one point from their past five league games. They have had a good season, and beaten all the teams in the top five apart from Liverpool, but it is in danger of fizzling out,” said Sutton.

“That would be a shame, and not just for their players. Cherries boss Andoni Iraola could do with a strong finish to the campaign to ensure his reputation continues to grow.

“It finished 1-1 when these two sides met at the Vitality Stadium before Christmas and I am pretty sure the BBC readers will go for a draw this time too.

“West Ham have struggled at home of late, losing three of their past four there, with their only win coming against Leicester.

“Bournemouth’s form doesn’t suggest they will take the points either, but I am not sitting on the fence like I expect you lot will.” Sutton’s prediction: 1-2
