Bournemouth are looking for more success at home when West Ham come to town.
The Cherries have won four of their last five league games at home and can move above champions Manchester City with another win this evening.
West Ham got a much-needed win of their own last time out and have lost just two of their last 12 trips to the south coast in the Premier League.
Here’s how the sides are shaped:

West Ham team news
Nicklas Fulkrug is not fit enough to start so Jarrod Bowen or Mohamed Kudus will play as a central attacker in the continued absence of Michel Antonio.
Emerson is suspended so it looks like Aaron Wan-Bissaka could move up to play at left-back.
