West Ham United and AFC Bournemouth face each other today, August 3, 2025, in the third and final fixture of the Premier League Summer Series at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia, with kickoff set for 2pm EDT (7pm BST)[1][3][6].

West Ham United’s starting XI features Jarrod Bowen, Lucas Paquetá, and newly signed Niclas Füllkrug, who have all been selected by head coach Graham Potter. The team also welcomes back Hammer of the Year Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Academy graduate Freddie Potts. Alphonse Areola returns in goal, and there are six changes from the side that started their 2-1 win over Everton earlier in the week[1].

Bournemouth, under Andoni Iraola, started their USA tour strongly with a 3-0 victory over Everton but suffered a setback with a 4-1 defeat to Manchester United. The team is looking to finish the Summer Series on a positive note and is currently level on points and goal difference with West Ham going into this fixture[3].

Historically, West Ham United have not lost to Bournemouth in their last seven meetings (3 wins, 4 draws). The most recent competitive encounter between these sides ended in a 2-2 draw on April 5, 2025, with Bournemouth’s Evanilson scoring twice and Füllkrug and Bowen finding the net for West Ham[2][4][7].

Today’s match is available to stream live internationally: in Australia on Stan Sport, in Canada on Fubo Canada, and through various other streaming platforms and VPNs worldwide[3]. In terms of betting, the odds suggest a closely contested match, with the most popular prediction being a draw and under 2.5 goals scored[5].
