Bournemouth secured their ninth league-win of the season against Spurs at Tottenham Hotspur stadium last Saturday thanks to Matias Vina’s 38th-minute equaliser, Dominic Solanke’s 51st-minute effort and Dano Ouattara’s winner five minutes into the injury time. Nine points from last four outings has now put Gary O’Neil’s side in a much stronger position to avoid immediate drop to the Championship. A favourable-looking run of fixtures is up next for the Cherries, with Sunday’s clash against West Ham followed by encounters with rock-bottom side Southampton and relegation-threatened Leeds United.
Last weekend, West Ham played out a 2-2 league-draw against leaders Arsenal courtesy of two equalisers from Said Benrahma and Bowen. After that, the Hammers defeated Gent 4-1 on Thursday night to secure a 5-2 aggregate win and book a place in the semi-finals of Europa Conference League. The Hammers came-from-behind to thrash the Belgian outfit thanks to Michail Antonio’s brace and one goal each from Lucas Paqueta and Decland Rice. David Moyes’s side now have five Premier League fixtures to prepare before shifting focus back to European duties. Despite picking up eight points from their last five league-matches, West Ham are sitting just three points clear of the drop zone, but have two games in hand over the bottom five clubs.
Bournemouth probable starting lineup: Neto, Smith, Stephens, Senesi, Kelly, Tavernier, Lerma, Rothwell, Ouattara, Billing, Solanke
West Ham United probable starting lineup: Fabianski, Coufal, Zouma, Aguerd, Emerson, Soucek, Rice, Bowen, Paqueta, Benrahma, Ings
