“Formation shift” | Team News | West Ham vs Bournemouth | OneFootball

West Ham today take on Bournemouth with pressure on to produce a much improved performance from the one at Wolves.

Although Graham Potters side looked better in the second half in the defeat at Molineux, there is certainly an expectation for an improvement in our attacking intent.

The Cherries today present an opportunity for Potter to showcase a more determined and creative display, with the visitors struggling for form at present, however they remain in the hunt for European qualification.

Potter is expected to shift the formation today to a 4 at the back, enabling more presence in the midfield to help support our frontline, with Niclas Fullkrug expected to lead the line.

Aside from Michail Antonio and Crysencio Summerville, the Hammers boss has all of his squad available, so the pressure is very much on to play with courage today.

Bournemouth are without Ryan Christie, however Justin Kluivert could well return – although he is a serious doubt.
