West Ham United vs AFC Bournemouth
21:35
A sluggish West Ham were held to a 1-1 draw at home against Bournemouth as David Moyes' side missed out on the chance to put pressure on Aston Villa in fifth place. The home side got off to the worst possible start as Dominic Solanke fired home after just three minutes when debutant Kalvin Phillips was caught in possession. Antoine Semenyo missed a golden opportunity to double the Cherries' lead but saw his effort saved by Alphonse Areola. It was a game of few chances in the second half but the Hammers took their one clear chance when a VAR check afforded James Ward-Prowse the chance to slam home from the penalty spot after Lloyd Kelly brought down Mohammed Kudus in the area. The Hammers remain in sixth, while Bournemouth's winless run against West Ham extends to six games. Next up for Moyes' side is a tricky visit to face Manchester United, while Bournemouth host Nottingham Forest. That's all for today - thanks for tuning in!

KICK-OFF! Bournemouth get us back underway after the break.
West Ham United vs AFC Bournemouth
20:29
Moyes should be pleased with how his side ended the first half but they will need to keep that level up for the entirety of the second half. In particular, the Hammers were very sloppy in midfield and often found themselves caught out by Bournemouth's press.
West Ham United vs AFC Bournemouth
20:21
West Ham trail 1-0 at the break against Bournemouth after Dominic Solanke notched up his 13th goal of the Premier League season. The Cherries striker has been in fine form this season and took just three minutes to add to his tally at the London Stadium, firing home after debutant Kalvin Phillips was caught in possession. The away side should really be two goals to the good but for Alphone Areaol's smart save to deny Antoine Semenyo's well-struck effort. West Ham grew into the game as the half wore on but they still have plenty of work to do after the break to pull this one back.

HALF-TIME: WEST HAM 0-1 BOURNEMOUTH
West Ham United vs AFC Bournemouth

Another good chance for the Cherries on the stroke of half-time. A lovely pass from Christie opens up the pitch as Solankes surges forward. He slides through Semenyo but his left-footed effort is deflected over the bar for a corner.

20:15
It's been a far better end to the half for the home side who have enjoyed 80 per cent of the ball in these last five minutes.
West Ham United vs AFC Bournemouth
20:15
A lovely turn from Kudus gives Johnson plenty of space on the right side to whip in a cross. His delivery, though, is poor and goes behind the three West Ham players queuing up in the box.
West Ham United vs AFC Bournemouth
20:13
Better now from West Ham as Kudus makes a good run to the byline. His cross reaches the onrushing Soucek but the midfielder can't control his header and it's well over the bar from the Czech international.
West Ham United vs AFC Bournemouth
20:10
A superb delivery into the box from Ward-Prowse as he finally gets into an advanced position down the left side. Bowen throws himself at the cross but can't make contact with the header and Neto is able to push the ball away.
West Ham United vs AFC Bournemouth
20:09
SAVE! A huge save from Areola to keep the home side in it. Again, West Ham are dispossessed in the middle of the park and Solanke has the ball inside the box in an instant. He shifts it to Semenyo who should score but blasts his effort straight at Areola who makes the vital stop. That should be 2-0.
West Ham United vs AFC Bournemouth
20:07
Bowen is having to drop deep to get on the ball which isn't an ideal position for the West Ham centre forward. The Englishman gives the ball away cheaply but Semenyo can't make anything stick with his surging run down the right flank.
West Ham United vs AFC Bournemouth
20:05
West Ham line up a long throw-in but it's a poor delivery from the centre-back which gets nowhere near the penalty area. That sums up West Ham's first half so far. The home side do win a free-kick shortly after but Ward-Prowse's delivery is cleared away.
West Ham United vs AFC Bournemouth
20:03
A lovely defence-splitting pass from Cook plays Tavernier down the right side of the box. The winger tries to cut the ball towards Solanke but West Ham clear the threat away.
West Ham United vs AFC Bournemouth
20:02
Ward-Prowse is really struggling out on this left flank. The midfielder has had just ten touches of the ball so far this game, the joint-fewest of any West Ham player so far.
West Ham United vs AFC Bournemouth
20:01
Dominic Solanke has now scored 13 Premier League goals this season – only Joshua King in 2016-17 (16) and Callum Wilson in 2018-19 (14) have scored more in a single top-flight campaign for Bournemouth.
West Ham United vs AFC Bournemouth
19:57
Soucek pulls back Cook in the middle of the park to give away another foul. That's greeted by more groans from the home fans in attendance who are less than impressed with the start their side have made to this contest.
West Ham United vs AFC Bournemouth
19:54
Scott delivers his ball to the near post but Christie's looping header goes comfortably over the bar.

19:53
West Ham have not clicked into gear so far this match, with the home side registering just one shot so far this game.
West Ham United vs AFC Bournemouth
19:50
Tavernier feeds Semenyo and it's a great little run from the winger to get himself into the box. His eventual left-footed effort takes a deflection off Mavropanos but goes out for a corner. The corner is whipped in by Scott but Areola clings on after it flicks off Solanke's arm.
West Ham United vs AFC Bournemouth
19:46
Kudus does well to hassle Kelly off the ball down the left side but Bowen eventually loses the ball on the edge of the box. Bournemouth break before Cook's long-range effort has Areola worried for a moment but the effort sails well wide of the target.
West Ham United vs AFC Bournemouth
19:45
Ward-Prowse swings in the corner to the front post but the delivery is unusually poor from the Englishman and Bournemouth win a goal-kick.

19:44
Moyes is cutting an animated figure on the sideline as he barks orders at his West Ham players. Smith deflects Bowen's corner behind as West Ham win their first corner of the game.
West Ham United vs AFC Bournemouth
19:43
Bournemouth continue to press high up the pitch and force Areola to go long with the kick. Bowen is leading the line tonight but he hasn't got the aerial presence to outmuscle the Bournemouth central defenders.
West Ham United vs AFC Bournemouth
19:39
That's just the third time that West Ham have conceded a first-half goal at home this season. Not the start that Moyes would have been after from his men.
West Ham United vs AFC Bournemouth
19:39
OVER! West Ham still haven't woken up here as Bournemouth almost have a second. A free-kick is swung in from the left and Senesi fires just over the bar as he strikes the loose ball at the first time of asking.

West Ham have kept a clean sheet in each of their last three Premier League home games. The last time they achieved four in a row came between December and January in 2009-10 under Gianfranco Zola.
West Ham United vs AFC Bournemouth
19:22
Andoni Iraola, meanwhile, also names four changes from Bournemouth's 5-0 win FA Cup win against Swansea. Neto and Smith return in goal and defence to replace Travers and James Hill. Further forward, Tavernier is preferred to Sinisterra, while David Brooks is replaced by Semenyo, with the Welshman having recently completed a loan move to Championship side Southampton.
West Ham United vs AFC Bournemouth
19:17
David Moyes makes four changes to his West Ham side that drew 2-2 against Sheffield United last time out. Vladimir Coufal is suspended after picking up a red card and so Ben Johnson comes in at right-back. Further forward, both Cornet and Ings drop to the bench, while Pablo Fornals misses out altogether, with the Spaniard closing in on a deadline-day move to Real Betis. In their place, there is a first start for new signing Kalvin Phillips after joining on loan from Manchester City, while Alvarez and Kudus return from injury and the Africa Cup of Nations respectively.

Bournemouth, meanwhile, will be heading into this fixture full of confidence after their comprehensive 5-0 win against Swansea in the FA CUP fifth round last Thursday. The Cherries, however, have lost their last two Premier League games and are winless against the Hammers in their last five games (D2, L3). A win tonight would move Andoni Iraola's side above Fulham and into 12th after the Cottagers drew 0-0 with Everton on Tuesday.
West Ham United vs AFC Bournemouth
19:12
After falling to a disappointing late draw against Sheffield United, West Ham enjoyed a much-needed time to reset with the Hammers not in FA Cup fourth-round action last weekend. David Moyes' side will be looking for an immediate reaction, though, having failed to win any of their last four games prior to today. It's been a busy day of outgoings in the transfer market but those fans travelling to the London Stadium tonight will be keen to see three points from those still in the squad as their side look to put pressure on Aston Villa in fifth following their defeat to Newcastle on Tuesday.
