West Ham vs Bournemouth: Premier League preview

The Hammers' last home defeat was against Forest at the start of January, a result against manager Nuno Espirito Santo's former club that seems to have sparked West Ham into action.

They start the weekend knowing that a win at the London Stadium would put them level on points with Forest, who play at home against Liverpool on Sunday.

Forest showed signs of being refreshed in Istanbul on Thursday but Hammers fans might also have considered the possibility of a good win against Bournemouth taking them out of the drop zone.

Their last match at home was a 1-1 draw against Manchester United, a result that could easily have turned out even better against a very much in-form United team led by ex-Hammer Michael Carrick.

West Ham also drew with Bournemouth last time they met, sharing the points after scoring two goals apiece back in November.

Two goals from former Bournemouth striker Callum Wilson put Nuno's team in a commanding lead in that match before second-half goals from Marcus Tavernier – from the penalty spot, as family tradition dictates – and Enes Unal.

The Cherries haven't beaten West Ham since 2018-19, when they did the double over Manuel Pellegrini's team under legendary former boss Eddie Howe in their fourth top-flight season.

Wilson scored Bournemouth's equaliser in the away fixture that season. West Ham picked up six bookings that day in the first match of the season at the London Stadium.

FourFourTwo's prediction

West Ham 2-0 Bournemouth

Bournemouth are doing an awful lot right at the moment but if West Ham can carry some of the fizz of the Man United draw into this game, home advantage could be telling.
