Manuel Pellegrini: 'Felipe Anderson, Andriy Yarmolenko will bring creativity'

West Ham United manager Manuel Pellegrini has backed Felipe Anderson and Andriy Yarmolenko to bring "creativity" to the Hammers this season.

Both Anderson and Yarmolenko made their Premier League debuts in West Ham's 4-0 defeat at Liverpool last weekend.

The Hammers will be looking to bounce back when they welcome Bournemouth to the London Stadium on Saturday afternoon, and Pellegrini has tipped Anderson and Yarmolenko to make their mark.

"Before we signed him [Anderson] I watched a lot of his games," Pellegrini told reporters. "He's a fast player. A mix between a winger and a midfielder and I think players like him and Yarmelenko will bring a lot of creativity."

West Ham have not beaten Bournemouth in the Premier League since August 2016, with both of their matches last season finishing all square.
