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

West Ham team news
Niclas Fullkrug is not fit enough to start, so Jarrod Bowen or Mohammed Kudus will play at center forward in Michail Antonio’s continued absence.
Emerson is suspended so it looks like Aaron Wan-Bissaka could move across to play at left-back.
