West Ham XI vs Bournemouth: Predicted lineup, confirmed team news and injury latest for Premier League today

West Ham will be without Emerson Palmieri for tonight’s Premier League clash against Bournemouth.

The defender was booked during the 2-1 win over Wolves, taking his tally of yellow cards up to five for the season.

With the Italian international missing, Aaron Cresswell could come back into the starting lineup for the trip to the south coast.

Striker Niclas Fullkrug is fit to start, however, in a major boost for the Irons.

The Hammers recorded a crucial win over Julen Lopetegui’s side on Monday but it will likely do little to silence those who doubt him after an underwhelming start to his tenure.

Michail Antonio is facing a significant period out of action after requiring surgery on a lower limb fracture sustained in a road traffic accident earlier this month.

West Ham predicted XI: Fabianski; Wan-Bissaka, Mavropanos, Kilman, Cresswell; Alvarez, Soucek; Kudus, Soler, Summerville, Bowen

Out: Antonio

Suspended: Emerson

Time and date: 8pm GMT on Monday December 16 2024
