Bournemouth can go within a point of opponents West Ham with a win on the south coast.
The Cherries succumbed to a 2-0 loss at Everton last week, and are without a win since mid-December; they sit 12th on 27 points.
West Ham come into this game off the back of an excellent performance and result against Arsenal, but the positive mood has been overshadowed by the lack of clarity surrounding Marko Arnautovic’s future, who is being heavily linked with a move to China. Follow the live action below.
What time does it start?
Bournemouth vs West Ham kicks off at 3:00pm (GMT) on Saturday 19 January.
Where can I watch it?
The match will not be shown live on TV or online in the UK.
Independent Sport will keep you up to date with all the goals as they fly in via our live blog.
Highlights will be shown at 10:20pm on BBC One.
Player to watch…
Felipe Anderson: Slowly but surely, West Ham’s record signing is finding his feet in the Premier League. The 25-year-old is the club’s top scorer with eight goals, and his finishing has been exquisite. If Arnautovic is to leave this month, Anderson’s role in the Hammers’ attack will grow in importance.

GOAL! Newcastle 1-0 Cardiff (Fabian Schar, 24 minutes)
First goal of the afternoon, and Newcastle lead!
Fabian Schar is a centre-back with considerable footballing ability, and he moves into the box nicely before firing past Neil Etheridge into the bottom corner.
PENALTY TO MANCHESTER UNITED! Paul Pogba is fouled. Manchester United 0-0 Brighton, 25 minutes.
Gaetan Bong brings down Paul Pogba, who perhaps goes down a little easily, and the referee points to the spot.

Joel Matip has looked the likeliest scorer at Anfield so far, again rising highest but directing his header wide from a corner.
Manchester United 1-0 Brighton, 31 minutes
Twice Brighton crosses fly into the Manchester United area but on neither occasion can a player find the telling touch.
Strong response from the visitors.
GOAL! Liverpool 0-1 Crystal Palace (Andros Townsend, 34 minutes)

Crystal Palace lead at Anfield!
Wilfried Zaha works his way forward after an excellent counter-attack, beating his man and cutting back to Andros Townsend who drives past Alisson.
Manchester United 1-0 Brighton, 35 minutes
Chances at both ends!
Anthony Martian's deft chip is well denied by David Button after running in behind, whilst at the other end Glenn Murray latches on to Solly March's cross and volleys wide.
