Another start for Downes

David Moyes has again started Flynn Downes against Bournemouth.

The Hammers midfielder gets another appearance under his belt after also playing against Liverpool.

Elsewhere, Lukasz Fabianski plays in goal, with the defence made up of Ben Johnson, Thilo Kehrer, Kurt Zouma and Aaron Cresswell.

Declan Rice and Tomas Soucek are paired in midfield, as always, while Jarrod Bowen, Downes, and Said Benrahma provide support to Gianluca Scamacca up front. Mikey Antonio is on the bench, as is Vlad Coufal. Conor Coventry will also hope to get on the pitch.

The Irons are desperate for three points after losing to Liverpool in midweek, having drawn with Southampton last weekend.

Full West Ham XI: Fabianski; Johnson, Kehrer, Zouma, Cresswell; Rice, Soucek; Bowen, Downes, Benrahma; Scamacca. Subs: Areola, Randolph, Coufal, Fornals, Antonio, Lanzini, Ogbonna, Coventry, Emerson. 

Full Bournemouth XI: Neto, Fredericks, Cook, Mepham, Lerma, Solanke, Christie, Smith, Tavernier, Senesi, Billing. Subs: Travers, Stephens, Rothwell, Stacey, Stanislas, Moore, Pearson, Anthony, Zemura.
