The Premier League returns to the fold with another round of matches this weekend as Bournemouth lock horns with David Moyes' West Ham United side in an important clash at the Vitality Stadium on Saturday.
Bournemouth vs West Ham United Preview
Bournemouth finished in 15th place in the Premier League standings last season and have not been at their best over the past year. The home side eased past Lorient by a comfortable 2-0 scoreline last week and will look to achieve a similar result in this match.
West Ham United, on the other hand, secured a 14th-place finish in the league table last season and have flattered to deceive this year. The Hammers slumped to a damaging 4-0 defeat at the hands of Bayer Leverkusen in their previous game and will need to bounce back this weekend.
