The Premier League is back in action with another round of matches this week as Bournemouth lock horns with David Moyes' West Ham United side at the London Stadium on Monday.
West Ham United vs Bournemouth Preview
Bournemouth are currently in 13th place in the Premier League standings and have been fairly impressive so far this season. The away side slumped to a 1-0 defeat at the hands of Southampton last week and will need to bounce back in this fixture.
West Ham United, on the other hand, are in 14th place in the league table at the moment and are yet to hit their stride in the competition. The Hammers suffered a narrow 1-0 defeat at the hands of Liverpool in their previous game and have a point to prove this week.

West Ham United vs Bournemouth Prediction
West Ham United have improved after a slow start to the season and are beginning to find their feet under David Moyes. The likes of Jarrod Bowen and Gianluca Scamacca have shown glimpses of their potential and will be intent on making a mark this weekend.
Bournemouth can pack a punch on their day and are perfectly capable of pulling off an upset. West Ham United are the better team on paper, however, and should be able to win this game.
