“Massive” Bournemouth clash + team news

Bilic looks certain to have Dimi Payet and Havard Nordveit available for the clash against Bournemouth at the London Stadium tomorrow (Sun) after both suffered minor knocks.

However, Cheik Kouyate looks likely to be ruled out with a thigh injury although hopes are high the midfielder powerhouse will be ok for the match at Manchester City next weekend.

Sam Byram looks certain to continue at right back and Arthur Masuaku will return to left back.

Meanwhile, David Gold is looking forward to what he describes as a massive game declaring: “We need three points. It feels odd talking like that given it’s so early in the season.

“But we go to Manchester City next weekend so we really need to win – it’s a massive game. We want to feel comfotrtable going into the international break.”

And looking back on the Europa Cup clash in midweek he said: “It was a bad pitch and maybe the performance was a bit fragmented but most would have taken 1-1 before the game started. These are not straightforward games!”
