PREDICTION
Thanks to an away win at Huddersfield last weekend, West Ham’s surge up the Premier League table continues, and this Saturday they go up against a Bournemouth side who will be full of confidence after previously beating Arsenal. The fixtures between these two usually promise goals and the Hammers will undoubtedly look to make full use of their home advantage.

MEMORABLE MEETING
Bournemouth’s first ever Premier League meeting with West Ham was certainly one to remember as the then newly promoted side earned a dramatic win over the Hammers at Upton Park. It was a game that produced no fewer than seven goals and Callum Wilson was the hero of the hour as he went home with the match ball after completing his hat-trick in a historic 4-3 win for the Cherries.
