West Ham United are about to travel away to face Bournemouth in the Premier League this weekend. The former side registered a 2-1 victory over Wolves in their most recent game and they must be carrying confidence with them.
The Hammers are 14th on the points table with 18 points under their hat. They don’t have much to fight for in the league. However, they will be motivated to extract a positive result in this fixture and prepare well for their upcoming challenges.
Defence
Lukasz Fabianski did not have much to do in the previous game. He should be ready to don the gloves for the Hammers this weekend. Right-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka continues to provide his services from the mentioned position.
The centre-back duo of Dinos Mavropanos and Max Kilman remain intact. They did well in the previous game and will look to repeat the same. Emerson Palmieri is suspended for this fixture as he picked up his fifth yellow card against Wolves. In his absence, Aaron Cresswell might get the nod.

Midfield
The midfield duo of Edson Alvarez and Tomas Soucek is working well so far. Especially the latter has been showing a high level of displays in recent times.
Attack
Mohammed Kudus remains the choice for the right flank role while Crysencio Summerville runs from the left wing. Carlos Soler is also doing well as the attacking midfielder and should retain his spot.
Striker Jarrod Bowen had an influential role in the previous game and he would like to continue his good form when he takes onto the field this weekend.
Michail Antonio will remain sidelined for a long period as he suffered a lower limb fracture following his car accident earlier this month.
