Bournemouth head figure Eddie Howe is confident that they have the arsenal to take on the Hammers with the new guy Marc Wilson. The 28-year old striker is back to the Cherries fence with high hopes to elevate the squad from current predicament. Wilson said that he recognizes the challenge so he will do his best to shun the dry spell for the Cherries. Wilson is also positive that Bournemouth can still pull a trick and finish better that the former League.
Can Dimitri Payet start the game amidst injury?
West Ham is also not coming in without any problem. A huge blank wall for the team is the condition of striker Dimitri Payet who is recovering from injury.
Payet has always been the playmaker for the Hammer and a cornerstone for the offensive capability. However, Payet sat out the early outings in the Premier League and saw action a bit in recent matches. Payet's last appearance was a 23-minute play against Chelsea.
Slaven Bilic tries to extend Payet during the game since the team is already exposing the hole in the offense. The West Ham star took the bench instead and ended the match in a heartbreaking 2-1 defeat. Bilic agreed to the decision and said that Payet's welfare is the top concern now. After all, there is a high risk of aggravating Payet's injury if he is forced to go on the field.
