Pundit delivers his Hammers v Cherries verdict
The former Liverpool, Manchester United and England striker expects goals and sees the Irons as the likely victors as they bid to maintain their big recent improvement.
Writing in his Betvictor column he says: “Another game where I expect to see goals given the teams have scored 23 times in the five previous PL games between the clubs.
“The Hammers have scored 15 times in their last six league games and David Moyes deserves plenty of credit for turning the club around after a difficult start.
“It will be 364 days at kick-off since the Irons last won back-to-back in the league, but I think they can beat the Cherries despite them showing their mettle when coming from a goal down against Arsenal last weekend. “
