West Ham United v Bournemouth

TEAM NEWS

West Ham pair Maxwel Cornet and Craig Dawson have an outside chance on Monday.

Cornet is training after a calf problem and Dawson is hoping to recover from a dead leg in time. The game should come too early for Lucas Paqueta.

Bournemouth have no fresh injury concerns as club captain Lloyd Kelly is still out with an ankle problem.

David Brooks’ much-anticipated return is a few weeks away as he recovers from a hamstring injury.

CHRIS SUTTON’S PREDICTION

Huge apologies to Bournemouth fans. I knew as soon as I finally predicted my win against Southampton on Wednesday that their unbeaten run under Gary O’Neil would soon be over.

All I can say is that it won’t happen again. Well, I’m certainly not going to tip them for beating West Ham anyway.

The Hammers were really unlucky not to get anything at Anfield on Wednesday and apart from that game they were in pretty decent form.

Forecast: 2-1

West Ham have scored two first-half goals this season, fewer than any other Premier League team.
