On a visit to the team Eddie How will Lester come, to whom Bournemouth on Dean Court in the Premier League has not yet lost.
Statistics "fox" on the road generally a nightmare - it's amazing that the team won only 2 of the last 24 matches! Because of the difficult calendar at the start of the season, Lester's position in the table also brings sadness - only 17th place, and even then thanks to a better difference than West Ham, the goal difference.
It is likely that the team will paint the world - unless their weighty word will not say Jamie Vardi, generously scoring at the start of the season. The only problem is that the participation of the forward in the game is questionable.

The West Ham season started out badly, but the same can be said about Swansea. Neither "hammers" nor "swans" at the start of the season are not impressive. The team Slaven Bilic had a good second half against Tottenham in the last round, but this can be caused by some relaxed spurs, which led to a score of 3: 0.
Slaven Bilic is having difficulties with the line-up, because Manuel Lancini, James Collins and Michael Antonio probably would have made the team stronger. Swansea does not have such problems - practically all the performers are in the ranks. Another thing is that now among the "swans" you can praise only goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski and striker Tammy Abraham.
Interesting Facts:.
- West Ham lost only 1 of the last 9 Premier League matches against Swansea (B5 P3).
- Swansea three times played "zero" away - the same as for the previous two seasons combined.
- Swansea can only become the 4th team, which will not miss in the first 4 away matches of the Premier League. Previously, this was possible for Manchester United, Leicester and Chelsea.
- Andy Carroll scored 5 goals and made 3 assistants in 6 Premier League matches against Swansea for West Ham.
The trainers say:.
Slaven Bilic, West Ham: "We beat this team twice last season - it means something, but on the other hand, it will not matter before the game starts!".
Paul Clement, Swansea: "We worked on some things for a week. On Saturday we are going to set the strongest squad. We need to better act ahead - over this and work ".
