Kick-off is at 17:30 GMT.

TEAM NEWS

West Ham have made one change to the starting XI they sent out in their last Premier League game.

It’s an enforced one, as Soungoutou Magassa replaces the banned Freddie Potts. He was sent off in last Saturday’s FA Cup fourth-round tie.

Bournemouth have made two changes from Gameweek 26.

Tyler Adams and Junior Kroupi are brought into the side, with Ryan Christie and Alex Toth making way.

LINE-UPS

West Ham United XI: Hermansen, Wan-Bissaka, Disasi, Mavropanos, Diouf, Magassa, Souček, Bowen, Fernandes, Summerville, Castellanos.

Subs: Areola, Walker-Peters, Kilman, Todibo, Scarles, Mayers, Kante, Wilson, Traoré.

Bournemouth XI: Petrović, Jimenez, Hill, Senesi, Truffert, Scott, Adams, Rayan, Kroupi, Adli, Evanilson.

Subs: Mandas, Smith, Diakite, Milosavljevic, Brooks, Christie, Tavernier, Toth, Ünal.

      Bowen cares. Not the greatest FPL asset, but he goes beyond

      makes sense if Hill is getting the lions share of the clearances, senesi may have got to previously..
      Although the stats may show otherwise, it is still luck whether they come on his side or not.

    Should've went for Bournemouths "Anderson", A.Scott. Went for the more exciting pick, Rayan.

      Anderson, KDH, Gravenberch?

      8th mid/fwd

      KDH can’t see starting many
      Grav does have decent matches and similar output to Anderson
