Handed a tough start to the season away at Liverpool, Jurgen Klopp's side put four past the Hammers in a dominant display at Anfield. Five of the clubs new signings were handed their full debuts against last season's Champions League finalists, yet they couldn't help the team from slipping to a heavy defeat. As well as Andriy Yarmolenko and Issa Diop coming into contention having been named on the substitutes' bench against the Reds, Pellegrini also has Carlos Sanchez and Lucas Perez to choose from following their deadline day moves to the club. Speaking ahead of the game against the Cherries, the Chilean revealed that only Andy Carroll, Winston Reid and Manuel Lanzini are missing for the Hammers. So, who will start for the team against Eddie Howe's side? Well, with Aaron Cresswell now back to fitness after sustaining a calf injury in the first week of pre-season training in Switzerland, Pellegrini may well give the left-back the nod ahead of Arthur Masuaku. As impressive as the 24-year-old is going forward, he doesn't offer the defensive protection that Cresswell does, as was the case against Liverpool last weekend. The manager will persist with Ryan Fredericks at right-back despite a tough start to his West Ham career, while Angelo Ogbonna and Fabian Balbuena will continue in defence. Declan Rice was axed at half-time at Anfield and Pellegrini has a big decision on his hands as to whether or not he keeps the youngster in the team. With Slaven Bilic electing to drop Rice following his error at Newcastle United 12 months ago, the new manager will keep faith with the talented player alongside Jack Wilshere and Mark Noble. However, there will be a change further upfield with Yarmolenko coming in for Michail Antonio for his home debut. The ex-Borussia Dortmund man along with Felipe Anderson will offer support to Marko Arnautovic, who is now 100% fit after coming through a fitness test last Sunday at Anfield.

Manuel Pellegrini has made three changes to his West Ham team for this afternoon's game against Bournemouth at the London Stadium. Amid a lot of hope and optimism going into the new season at Liverpool last weekend, the Hammers fell to a comprehensive 4-0 defeat on Merseyside. With the new manager handing full debuts to five of his new signings, Andriy Yarmolenko and Issa Diop had to make do with a place on the substitutes' bench. Having had to watch on from the sidelines last weekend, Yarmolenko will have to do the same this afternoon as Robert Snodgrass comes into the team against Eddie Howe's side. The winger replaces Michail Antonio in the starting XI. Aaron Cresswell is named on the bench as Arthur Masuaku keeps his place.

There were doubts over Declan Rice's place in the team after his half-time substitution last weekend and the youngster doesn't even make the squad with Pellegrini keeping faith with Jack Wilshere and Mark Noble. Marko Arnautovic starts upfront with support in attack from Felipe Anderson and Javier Hernandez. West Ham starting XI: Fabianski; Zabaleta, Balbuena, Ogbonna, Masuaku; Noble, Wilshere; Anderson, Snodgrass, Arnautovic; Hernandez Subs: Adrian, Diop, Cresswell, Obiang, Sanchez, Perez, Yarmolenko Keep up to date with the latest news, features and exclusives from football.london via the free football.london app for iPhone and Android.
