PREDICTION
The improvement in the West Ham players' attitudes since Moyes took over has been clear to see and they will travel to Bournemouth with confidence that they can get something here. Bournemouth's form has not been great and it may well be that both teams are content with a point apiece.
MEMORABLE MEETING
The last time these two sides met was back in March of this year and it threw up a five-goal thriller at the Vitality Stadium. Josh King was Bournemouth's hero as his hat-trick ensured the Cherries picked up all three points.
