West Ham lineup vs. Bournemouth: Julen Lopetegui's predicted XI for Premier League clash

West Ham United head coach Julen Lopetegui is only guaranteed to be without two players for Monday's Premier League battle with Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium.

Long-serving centre-forward Michail Antonio is currently on the mend from surgery after a horrific car accident last weekend, in which the Jamaica international sustained a lower limb fracture, while Emerson Palmieri is banned.

Lopetegui did tell reporters in his pre-game press conference that a couple of other players would need assessing, but he refused to specify who, so it is safe to assume that most of his regular starters will be available.

The Irons boss sided with Jarrod Bowen over Niclas Fullkrug as his central striker in the 2-1 win over Wolverhampton Wanderers in gameweek 15 and may see no need to alter the attacking harmony, which could also extend to the Englishman's supporting cast.

Carlos Soler, Crysencio Summerville and Mohammed Kudus starting last time out meant that Lucas Paqueta had to make do with a second-half substitute cameo, and the Brazilian could be consigned to the same fate on Monday.

Edson Alvarez and Tomas Soucek can be expected to pair up in the engine room once more, while Dinos Mavropanos, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Lukasz Fabianski and Max Kilman should hold their spots in the backline too.

With Emerson suspended, though, Lopetegui could hand Aaron Cresswell his 300th Premier League appearance for West Ham; only Mark Noble has previously hit a triple century for the Irons in the competition.

West Ham United possible starting lineup: Fabianski; Wan-Bissaka, Mavropanos, Kilman, Cresswell; Soucek, Alvarez; Kudus, Soler, Summerville; Bowen
