West Ham United Set to Face Bournemouth in Carabao Cup Clash

West Ham United is preparing to host Bournemouth in a second-round match of the Carabao Cup at the London Stadium. This all-Premier League clash is scheduled for Wednesday, August 28, with kickoff set for 7:45 p.m. local time in the UK.

Newly appointed West Ham head coach Julen Lopetegui will be eager to secure a victory for his side after achieving his first Premier League win with a 2-0 defeat of Crystal Palace last Saturday. Lopetegui is expected to field several fringe players, including James Ward-Prowse and recent signing Crysencio Summerville, to assess their performance.

Bournemouth, on the other hand, arrives for this cup tie following a satisfactory draw against Newcastle in the English Premier League. Manager Andoni Iraola will look to improve his squad’s track record in this tournament, as Bournemouth has not progressed beyond the fourth round in the last five seasons.

Fans wishing to watch the match can do so through various streaming services depending on their location. In the United States, ESPN Plus offers coverage of the Carabao Cup, while Sky Sports has broadcast rights in the UK. Canadian viewers can access the game through DAZN Canada, and those in Australia will find it available on beIN Sports.
