Bournemouth starting line-up and substitutes:
The Hammers are in dire straits. They are currently sitting in 18th spot in the Premier League table, having embarked on a run of just two wins in 13 league games.
Worryingly for West Ham, relegation seems like a very real prospect this season. And nobody would have predicted that at the start of the campaign.
Fortunately for the east London club, however, Bournemouth are on a similar run, and they sit just one point ahead of the Hammers in the table.
Eddie Howe’s men have lost seven of their last nine Premier League games.
Both teams will be desperate to get the new year off to a good start with a win today. So it should be an entertaining game of football on display at the London Stadium.
The Cherries have a fine recent record against West Ham, having drawn three and won three of their last six clashes with the east London outfit.
The game kicks off at 17:30 and can be seen exclusively live on BT Sport.
