Cherries can pick off hosts
Injuries and Africa Cup of Nations call-ups have contributed to West Ham failing to win any of their last four league and cup matches.
The Hammers will be boosted by the loan signing of Kalvin Phillips from Manchester City and will hope Mohammed Kudus can play a part after Ghana’s AFCON elimination, but Nayef Aguerd will not be back in time after Morocco’s exit and Lucas Paqueta is also sidelined.
Manager David Moyes was irked by some late refereeing calls in the 2-2 draw at Sheffield United on Sunday but his side were second best for long stretches of the game against the bottom club.
Bournemouth have also had injury issues but manager Andoni Iraola has adapted well in recent months and his side have won five of their last six away from home in all competitions.
The Cherries may have failed to win any of the previous five meetings with West Ham but they look well placed to end that streak tonight.

Solanke to shine again
Dominic Solanke’s form has been vital to Bournemouth’s recent success. He has netted 12 times in the league this season and looks to be fulfilling the promise he showed when at Chelsea’s academy.
Solanke has scored six goals in his last six appearances, four of which have come on the road, and he also netted the 1-1 draw in the reverse fixture in August.
The 26-year-old’s performances have led to him being linked with a move in January, with West Ham among those touted as potential buyers, and he could show them what they are missing tonight.

Hammers duo headline bet builder
The ill-tempered nature of West Ham’s draw with Sheffield United was at odds with how they usually conduct themselves.
They and Bournemouth are in the bottom half of the Premier League’s yellow cards table and, with five or fewer cautions handed out in the previous seven meetings, under 4.5 cards feels an excellent way to kick off a bet builder.
Ben Johnson is the likely replacement for Vladimir Coufal, who was sent off at Bramall Lane. After speculation regarding his future, the 24-year-old Johnson looks set to stay in east London but he could pick up a yellow here, having also done so on his last start in the league against Brighton.
That adds real value to a bet builder and enhances the small price on Jarrod Bowen to have a shot in each half. The England man averages 2.55 efforts per game in the Premier League.
West Ham vs Bournemouth tip 3: Bet builder - Under 4.5 cards, Ben Johnson to be booked and Jarrod Bowen to have a shot in each half @ 16/1 with Paddy Power
