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:
AFC Bournemouth vs West Ham United
The corner is cleared by Bournemouth, but back come West Ham as Kehrer crosses from the byline. Soucek climbs at the back post to head goalwards, but his effort glances across the face of goal before bouncing wide!
AFC Bournemouth vs West Ham United
CHANCE!!! Released by Rice on the counter-attack, an onside Cornet races into open pasture and crosses into the area. Neto comes for the ball, but in slides Stephens to put it behind for a West Ham corner!
AFC Bournemouth vs West Ham United
NO GOAL!!! It's been overturned! As we enter three added minutes of injury time, VAR replays clearly show that Cornet was beyond the last man as Fornals played that pass. It remains 4-0, and Cornet is denied a goal that would have finished off a move that he started from inside his own half!
AFC Bournemouth vs West Ham United
BALL IN THE NET!!! Cornet drives into Bournemouth's half with the ball and has a shot blocked from the edge of the box, but West Ham keep possession and work the ball to the right. Fornals drills a low cross back into the centre, where Cornet escapes his man and fires the ball beyond Neto! West Ham players wheel away to celebrate their fifth, but replays show there's a question of offside to be answered here...
AFC Bournemouth vs West Ham United
Bournemouth have conceded nine goals to opposition substitutes in the Premier League this season, with only Leicester City (10) doing so more often.

Bournemouth have certainly kept Fabianski busy between the sticks for West Ham. He's made six saves thus far, last making at least five in one match back in November 2022 against Crystal Palace.
