"Last seen putting in a season-worst performance as they slumped to a 4-0 drumming away at Aston Villa, Andoni Iraola's men are seeking a welcomed boost this weekend. However, getting November underway with a 3-1 loss at the hands of Manchester City, the former Rayo Vallecano boss has seen his squad win just a pair of their previous seven Premier League appearances. Despite still dreaming of the chance to mount a genuine European charge, Bournemouth are searching for some crucial defensive steel."
"Despite lasting just 10 minutes away at Aston Villa prior to November's international break following a horror collision with teammate Tyler Adams, Adam Smith is set to be part of Iraola's squad here. Receiving a first senior call-up to Thomas Tuchel's England squad this month, Alex Scott will start in the middle of the park. Enjoying what has become a sensational run this season and already notching six goals in his first 11 Premier League appearances, attacking talisman Antoine Semenyo will lead the line."
Bournemouth return from the international break aiming for a morale-boosting home win against West Ham after heavy recent defeats and inconsistent results. The Cherries have won only two of their last seven Premier League matches, conceded ten goals in four outings, and recorded a single clean sheet since September 21. Adam Smith is available after a collision, Alex Scott has received a first senior England call-up and will start in midfield, Antoine Semenyo leads the attack with six league goals, and Djordje Petrovic is set to start in goal. West Ham remain in the relegation zone but carry momentum from an earlier 3-2 victory.
