West Ham team news
After fielding a second sting XI in the FA Cup, West Ham will revert to their strongest lineup. Pablo is injured, which should allow Callum Wilson to start against his former club.
Bournemouth team news
After a bad run of form, Bournemouth were winless in 11 Premier League games, they are now back to their best. The Cherries are unbeaten in their last six league matches and are ninth in the division. This is despite them losing their star man, Antoine Semenyo, to Manchester City in January. They have a few injury concerns with Justin Kluivert and Marcus Tavernier out.

West Ham vs Bournemouth prediction
West Ham only managed to scrape past Burton, but this was with a weakened side. The FA Cup gave the opportunity for Nuno Espirito Santo to rest some of his top players. The Hammers have not been on a bad run of form recently. They have beaten Tottenham Hotspur, Sunderland, and Burnley. They also had the lead against Chelsea and Manchester United, but went on to drop points.
Bournemouth will be a tough game for the Hammers, as they are also in form. The Cherries are still in contention for European qualification, whilst West Ham are scrapping to stay in the division. As both teams are playing well at the moment, I will go for a 2-2 draw.
