West Ham United's last season's player of the year, Lukasz Fabianski, picked up a hip injury during the club's 2-2 draw with Bournemouth on Saturday, he was forced to leave the field during the first half and was replaced by substitute keeper Roberto. Unfortunately the news doesn't look too good with regards his recovery time, the only compensation being the pending International break following next week's home game against Crystal Palace.

Bournemouth: Ramsdale, S. Cook, Ake, Rico, Stacey, Lerma, Biling, H. Wilson, King, C. Wilson, Solanke. Subs: Boruc, Francis, Surman, Ibe, Groeneveld, L. Cook, Mepham.
West Ham: Fabianski, Cresswell, Fredericks, Ogbonna, Diop, Rice, Fornals, Noble, Anderson, Yarmolenko, Haller. Subs: Jimenez, Balbuena, Zabaleta, Lanzini, Snodgrass, Wilshere, Ajeti.

Fresh from Wednesday's appalling Carabao Cup defeat, Manuel Pellegrini's Irons need to bounce back on track, unfortunately today's south coast opponents Bournemouth are one of Hammers' many 'bogey' teams. Playing Brighton is always difficult, but Bournemouth have proved to be even fiercer opposition in the past with many fans thinking that the away team will be lucky to escape with a point from the game.
