West Ham return to Premier League action after beating Burton 1-0 away from home in the fourth round of the FA Cup. They are set to welcome Bournemouth to the London Stadium on Saturday evening.
The Hammers are still inside the relegation zone, so a win here would feel massive in terms of potentially staying up come the end of the season. Meanwhile, the Cherries are now looking up the table after earlier relegation fears, and a victory here could see them close the gap on the European places.
