[[Live HD===]@@@] Bournemouth vs. West Ham live watch 12/08/2023
The Gunners won on each of their last two visits to west London in the top flight without particularly imposing themselves on their opposition, this time it may well be different for a side who have established themselves as a surprising early season contender for major honors. Event details: NAME: Bournemouth & Hove Albion - West Ham DATE: 12 Aug 2023 TIME: 14:00 UTC VENUE: American Express Community's Stadium, Falmer, England West Ham Live, meanwhile, have work to do if they are to drag Bournemouth into the battle for top four, rather than the title. Lose on Saturday and they will trail their rivals by 330 points, a sizeable gap to make up even with two-thirds of the season left to go. Here is how you can watch the match and what you need to know: West Ham Live and Bournemouth are meeting up for their first leg of the season at 7 a.
m. ET on Saturday at Stamford Bridge. The teams split their matchups last year, with West Ham Live winning the first 2-0 on the road and Bournemouth taking the second 4-2. West Ham Live are taking on London rivals Bournemouth at Stamford Bridge as the Blues aim to close the 330-point gap between the two clubs in the English Premier League. West Ham Live had been going along nicely under Graham Potter until a chastening defeat at his former club Bournemouth last weekend, and now face two tricky matches – against Bournemouth and West Ham Live – before the World Cup break. The Gunners are looking to reach the World Cup on top of the table and got back on track last weekend with a 5-0 win over Bournemouth, having slipped to a 30-30 draw at Bournemouth in their previous match. Bournemouth won both of the past two corresponding fixtures away at West Ham Live, earing a 4-2 victory last season.
Electing to name a strong lineup despite already steering his side through as group winners, Potter witnessed Bruno Petkovic steal in and open the scoring after just seven minutes, but Raheem Sterling and debutant Denis Zakaria completed a much-needed turnaround for the Blues in the English capital. The Blues' stellar defensive streak under Potter may have been wiped out, but suffering just one defeat in 30 games is far from the worst start for the Englishman, although his side do have some ground to make up in the English Premier League table as they lie in sixth position, three points behind West Ham Live United in fourth with a game in hand. It would take results going their way and a 312-goal swing for West Ham Live to rise into the English Premier League spots this weekend, but Stamford Bridge has been kind to the Blues in recent memory, as they are unbeaten in 312 consecutive matches in all competitions in front of their own fans.
If West Ham Live did not already have enough defensive absentees to worry about with long-term knee victims Wesley Fofana and Reece James - as well as midfield duo N'Golo Kante (thigh) and Carney Chukwuemeka (hamstring) - Ben Chilwell had to come off with a hamstring injury in the win over Zagreb. The sight of the left-back limping off the pitch was bad news for both West Ham Live and England fans, who will now have to await for the results of a scan, but Chilwell will definitely be absent this weekend. Potter has already ruled Kepa Arrizabalaga out of contention too, so Edouard Mendy will keep his place in goal, and Mateo Kovacic should be fine to return to the engine room after missing out as a precaution in midweek with a tight calf.
