62,000 fans wait to see if Graham Potter will stick with his more aggressive three up front attacking line-up that featured against Wolves yet failed to find the net on Tuesday. Waiting for the team announcement it is worth reflecting on the relative form of these teams, somewhat surprisingly West Ham are ahead, taking seven points from the last six games ahead of Bournemouth’s four.
Which is pretty average from both teams and doesn’t seem like the precursor to a classic this afternoon. Potter hopefully has a fit-again Mohammed Kudus and Jean Clair Todibo to select after their absences on Tuesday. The set-up of the team will have us all scratching our heads when the side is announced:
1.45pm and the side has just been published: Potter has made four changes, dropping Ferguson, Guilherme, Cresswell and Mavropanos.
West Ham United
Areola | Wan-Bissaka, Todibo, Kilman, Scarles, Alvarez, Ward-Prowse, Soucek, Paquetá, | Bowen, Kudus

Come. On. You.Irons!
Half-Time and WottaLoadaRubish so far. We need a Fullkrug now. No Halfkrug stuff.
Boos at half time say it all. Changes needed, Fullkrug needed.
Brilliant losing again at half time and we have not created a single chance from open play in the entire 1st half after 4 changes from Wolves. 2 centre forwards on the bench and didn’t start either of them FFS what is he doing!
Hope that Fullkrug on in 2nd half. Playing without a natural CF at home has not worked all year.
Looks like another loss on horizon. 1_ 0 down ..my god why are we so shit …look at the players we got …but no matter who is in charge we are just awful no matter who the manager is …WTF Is happening to us …..PATHETIC…….let’s Hope my moan helps if not they can all go fk themselves…….the clubs a total embarrassment
I’ll keep moaning maybe it helps
I was hoping to see Fullkrug, perhaps as a sub.
2 CFs on bench 👍.
I’m now bemused.
easing Fulkrug back in. hasn’t played 90 in donkeys. Ferguson probably shouldn’t step on the pitch for us again
I KNOW WTF IS GOING ON
