Bournemouth vs West Ham Lineups and Last Match
Bournemouth
Bournemouth did so well to escape the relegation battle last season but now have a new manager at the helm and suffered mixed fortunes in pre-season. Andoni Iraola's men picked up two wins and suffered two defeats in their warm-up games to the 2023/24 Premier League campaign, ending with a 2-0 home win over French side Lorient. Tavernier and Semenyo look set to miss the opening game of the new season through injury, while Kelly, Smith, Christie, Solanke and Fredericks are also doubts.
Predicted Lineup – Neto (GK), Kelly, Senesi, Mepham, Smith, Cook, Billing, Marcondes, Kluivert, Outtara & Solanke.
West Ham
Pre-season started off well for the Hammers as David Moyes' men picked up wins against Boreham Wood, Perth Glory and Tottenham. A draw with Dagenham followed by defeats to Rennes and Leverkusen saw their warm-up games end on a slightly disappointing note. West Ham will be without Declan Rice after the midfielder completed a big-money move to Arsenal in the summer and the club are yet to replace their star or spend any of the money they got from his transfer leading to some upset in the fan base.
Predicted Lineup – Areola (GK), Kehrer, Emerson, Aguerd, Zouma, Paqueta, Soucek, Downes, Bowen, Benrahma & Ings
Starting Lineups

*Lineups are usually announced 1hr before kick-off
Player to Watch: Philip Billing
Bournemouth's 27-year-old midfielder impressed last season, helping guide his team to safety.
The former Huddersfield Town man has added goals to his game after starting off life as a more defensive-minded midfielder, netting 25 league goals in his last three seasons with the Cherries.
We're surprised nobody signed the Danish midfielder this summer as he has proven himself in the Premier League and as well as offering goals and some steel in midfield, Billing is heading into his peak and is likely to be a big performer for Bournemouth this season.
West Ham, of all clubs, could do with a Billing in their side following the departure of Rice, so it will be interesting to see how the Dane performs against the Hammers this weekend.
