Just two points and one place in the table separate the clubs ahead of kick-off, with the hosts having won their last two to move into 14th place. Another victory here and the Cherries will really start to feel as though they’ve done the hard work, with survival surely close at that point.
The Hammers have more to do, sat currently on 31 points, but victory here will see them leapfrog Bournemouth and put more daylight between themselves and the bottom three following just one defeat in their last five matches. Even so, pressure remains on David Moyes after a disappointing season.
We will bring you all the action and updates from today's game in the live blog below:

SAVED!!! So very nearly a third for the visitors! A poor pass from Kelly is seized upon by Bowen, who cuts onto his left foot and drills a low shot towards the far corner. However, a deflection off Mepham skews the ball into Antonio's path, and Neto charges out to snatch the ball before the Jamaican international can make it three!

SAVED!!! Solanke spins away from Aguerd and surges into the box. He bears down on goal and looks to place the ball in the far corner, but Fabianski's outstretched leg denies him!

Christie's corner is headed clear and Benrahma sets off on the break for West Ham. Antonio charges through the middle and is clean through on goal if found with the ball, but Smith's strong defensive header cuts out Benrahma's cross-field pass and gives Bournemouth's defence time to recover.

SAVED!!! Lerma's attempted throughball into the box results in possession ricocheting back to him, and the Colombian curls a powerful shot from the edge of the box, which is heading for the top corner before Fabianski parries it away!
