Lineups confirmed as Evanilson leads Cherries attack
Bournemouth are looking for more success at home when West Ham come to town.
The Cherries have won four of their last five home league games and could move past champions Manchester City with another win this evening.
West Ham picked up a much-needed win last time out and have lost just two of their last 12 trips to the south coast in the Premier League.
Here’s how the sides are formed:

West Ham team news
Niclas Fullkrug is not fit enough to start, so Jarrod Bowen or Mohammed Kudus will play at centre-forward in Michail Antonio’s continued absence.
Emerson is suspended, so it looks like Aaron Wan-Bissaka could move in to play at left-back.
