West Ham Predicted Lineup vs Bournemouth<\/span><\/h2>\n

How West Ham Have Lined up Recently<\/span><\/h3>\n

As Alphonse Areola is absent with an injury<\/a>, Polish international Lukasz Fabianski has started the last six matches for Lopetegui\u2019s side. Despite the 39-year-old being called into action, he kept two consecutive clean sheets in his first matches. He<\/span>\u00a0has entered a defence that has conceded the fourth most goals in the league this season.<\/span><\/p>\n

Lopetegui has altered the defence a few times this season but has landed with a back four consisting of Emerson, Max Kilman<\/a>, Jean-Clair Todibo<\/a> and Aaron Wan-Bissak<\/a>a. That <\/span>being said<\/span>, after a major falling out between the manager and Todibo, he has <\/span>been benched<\/span> for the past two games <\/span>making<\/span> room for Konstantinos Mavropanos. Vladimir Coufal has also replaced Emerson recently.<\/span><\/p>\n

The midfield has also been consistent, with Lopetegui preferring two defensive midfielders. <\/span>This<\/span> has usually been between Edson Alvarez and Guido Rodriguez<\/a>, with Tomas Soucek alternating between them both, albeit after his goal against Wolves, he may be starting more often. Carlos Soler has also played more attacking roles <\/span>much<\/span> like Crysencio Summerville<\/a> on the wing.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mohammed Kudus returned to the starting lineup against Leicester City after serving his five-match suspension which he picked up after an away defeat to Tottenham. <\/span>He replaced Summerville <\/span>who<\/span> was benched<\/span> for this match <\/span>despite positive recent performances<\/span>.<\/span> Lucas Paqueta <\/span>was also dropped<\/span> for Edson Alvarez. <\/span>In<\/span> their latest match against Wolves<\/span>, Jarrow Bowen started up-front<\/span>, replacing the injured Michail Antonio. Niklas Fullkrug<\/a> made an appearance against Leicester.<\/span><\/p>\n

West Ham’s Recent Form<\/span><\/h3>\n

Julen Lopetegui is under immense pressure to keep his job, surviving a match coined \u201cEl Sackico\u201d against Wolverhampton Wanderers last week. A 2-1 win at home helped ease pressure on his job, but fans are far from convinced.<\/span><\/p>\n

This<\/span> is because<\/span> the Hammers have been inconsistent under the Spaniard’s management, only winning two of the last five matches. Three weeks ago, his side fell to a heavy 5-2 defeat to Arenal at home. The visitors scored four goals inside the first 36 minutes with the Gunners scoring their last from the spot right on the cusp of halftime. Their last away match resulted in a 3-1 defeat to Leicester City, which resulted in David Sullivan calling their latest match against Wolves \u201cD-Day for Lopetegui\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

West Ham Injuries to Consider<\/span><\/h3>\n

Lopetegui has two absences to consider. Emerson <\/span>is suspended<\/span> due to picking up five yellow cards<\/a> before the halfway point in the season. He will be available for their next match at home to Brighton <\/span>on <\/span>December,<\/span> 21st <\/span>2024<\/span>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The only injury Lopetegui has to consider is that of Antonio, who will be out for the remainder of the season due to being involved in a car crash. There is no return date for him as of yet.<\/span><\/p>\n
