The Premier League clash between Bournemouth and West Ham is generating considerable interest among fans and analysts alike. According to Chris Wilson, Bournemouth enters the match as the favorite, potentially moving up to fifth place in the league standings with a victory. The team's recent form has been impressive, having secured three consecutive wins leading up to this encounter. Meanwhile, West Ham's inconsistent performance raises questions about their ability to compete effectively against a rejuvenated Bournemouth side.
The Cherries sit seventh having played 15 matches, though a win by two goals or more could see them leapfrog Manchester City into fifth place and firmly in contention for the European spots. They’ve won three on the bounce since losses to Brentford and Brighton in November and are one of the in-form sides in the league right now.
Conversely, West Ham have shown some of the most mixed form in the league over recent weeks, with the Hammers sitting in 14th after just two wins from their last five.
Julen Lopetegui has been under pressure from some sections of the fanbase and, although this was eased with a win over Newcastle and last week’s victory over fellow strugglers Wolves, poor results against Arsenal and Leicester have raised yet more questions.
Bournemouth possible starting lineup: Kepa; Smith, Zabarnyi, Huijsen, Kerkez; Christie, Cook; Semenyo, Kluivert, Ouattara; Evanilson
West Ham United possible starting lineup: Fabianski; Wan-Bissaka, Mavropanos, Kilman, Cresswell; Soucek, Alvarez; Kudus, Soler, Summerville; Bowen
West Ham striker Michail Antonio is facing a significant period out of action following surgery on a lower limb fracture sustained during a road traffic accident earlier this month. Emerson Palmieri is suspended.
Niclas Fullkrug is fit to start for the Hammers in a major boost for the club.
