West Ham captain Declan Rice and Bournemouth fullback Ryan Fredericks are ready to face-off today.

Fredericks left West Ham last summer.

Rice said, “It's going to be a funny one because obviously, I've never played against Ryan in a match. I'm sure it will be serious but after the game we'll have a laugh! During the game, there might be a bit of banter maybe. He'll probably say a few words and try and get into my head or something!"

Fredericks replied: “I will be throwing a bit of banter [at Dec]. I think we can get the better of him. He doesn't have many bad games but hopefully, I can get in his head!"

Rice also told whufc.com: “I'm just waiting for a foot race I cannot wait to outpace [Ryan]. But in the 'Fredericks channel' no one's ever beaten him. You just can't get past him, he's too fast. If he shows you the line, you'll never get past him and inside he's just too quick. You've got to play around him. I am going to set up Cresswell to stop Ryan as well. I think we know how to stop him."
