West Ham vs Bournemouth live stream and how to watch Premier League game online, lineups

The West Ham vs Bournemouth live stream will reveal how Gary O’Neil’s side react to the first defeat under his leadership as they take on West Ham at the London Stadium — and you can watch it from anywhere with a VPN. 

Just as West Ham seemed to be picking up steam, a draw to Southampton and a loss to Liverpool has halted their momentum. Had Jarrod Bowen scored his penalty at Anfield, the league table would not look that different but the mood would be vastly better. Considering the squad, stadium, and recent league finishes, anything other than European football would be a disappointing season for the Hammers and leave them fearing for the future of stars like Declan Rice. Although the Hammers have only conceded twelve goals (the same as third-place Tottenham) they have not really found their scoring touch this season with just 10 chances converted. Maxwell Cornet, who managed to score nine goals in a poor Burnley side last season, could alleviate some of this bluntness but he is sadly still injured. 

Even after a surprising home loss to South coast rivals Southampton, Bournemouth are handily placed in 11th. Undefeated in their last three away games, the Cherries will be hoping to continue that run at the Olympic Stadium. Despite the poor result in the derby, Gary O’Neil’s men can take heart that they enjoyed more of the ball and didn’t struggle to create chances, taking 15 shots during the match. O’Neil has been helped by a relatively healthy squad with only defender Lloyd Kelly and midfielder David Brooks unavailable. Even though they are already four points clear of the relegation zone at this early stage of the season, with a club takeover in the works, Bournemouth’s objective this season is simply to stay up by any means necessary. 

The last meeting between these two sides at the London Stadium saw Bournemouth grab an incredible 5-3 away win. In fact these two sides regularly serve up exciting games with an average of four goals a match. This is a great omen for a dramatic encounter, making the West Ham vs Bournemouth live stream a compelling watch.

Here's how they line up: 

West Ham: Fabianski, Cresswell, Zouma, Kehrer, Johnson, Soucek, Rice, Downes, Benrahma, Scamacca, Bowen.

Bournemouth: Neto, Smith, Senesi, Mepham, Fredericks, Cook, Lerma, Tavernier, Billing, Christie, Solanke.
