West Ham vs. Bournemouth live stream: Watch Premier League online
By Adam Stocker
West Ham face Bournemouth at London Stadium on Saturday, Aug. 18. Here’s all the info you need to watch.
West Ham opened the season with an ugly 4-0 loss to Liverpool last weekend. On Saturday, the Hammers host Bournemouth at London Stadium looking to prove the opening weekend lost was a fluke. The Cherries opened the season with a 2-0 win over Cardiff.
Despite going on a spending spree this summer, West Ham did not look like a team that improved. Manuel Pellegrini opted not to start two of the Hammers most expensive additions, Issa Diop and Andriy Yarmolenko. After allowing four goals, Pellegrini will likely make a change at the back and start Diop. Lukasz Fabianski was busy in net and prevented the score against Liverpool from being even more lopsided. Marko Arnautovic and Felipe Anderson both need to be better against Bournemouth. The West Ham attack was poor against Liverpool, failing to generate many scoring chances.
Bournemouth took care of business in the opening weekend, beating a team many expect to be relegated, Cardiff 2-0. Callum Wilson scored and assisted on Ryan Fraser’s goal. When Wilson scored last season, the Cherries never lost. Bournemouth need Wilson and Joshua King to continue scoring goals if they are going to avoid relegation for a fourth season. The Cherries are the smallest club in the Premier League and are expected to be in another fight for survival this season. Not many expected Bournemouth to stay in the Premier League for one year, let alone three. The fact Bournemouth have remained in the Premier League is even more incredible considering that the club was playing in the fourth tier as recently as 2010.
