Key events
Speaking of left-backs, this interview with Milos Kerkez is well worth your time.
Both West Ham left backs, Emerson and Cresswell, are out of the squad. Emerson is suspended, having picked up his fifth yellow card of the season during last Monday’s 2-1 win over Wolves. Wan Bissaka will swap flanks tonight from right back, with Coufal coming to play in his normal position.
The teams!
Bournemouth: Arrizabalaga, Smith, Zabarnyi, Huijsen, Kerkez, Christie, Cook, Ouattara, Kluivert, Semenyo, Evanilson.
Subs: Travers, Brooks, Adams, Hill, Unal, Billing, Aarons, Winterburn, Kinsey-Wellings.
West Ham: Fabianski, Coufal, Mavropanos, Kilman, Wan-Bissaka, Alvarez, Soucek, Kudus, Soler, Lucas Paqueta, Bowen.
Subs: Areola, Summerville, Fullkrug, Luis Guilherme, Ings, Irving, Casey, Scarles, Orford.
Preamble
Welcome to the Harry Redknapp Derby. The famous Dorset local, a former player and manager of both these teams, will undoubtedly have made the short trip to the Vitality Stadium tonight from his nearby residence in Sandbanks.
And why not? The Vitality might be the smallest stadium in the Premier League, and the second smallest in Premier League history behind Luton Town’s Kenilworth Road, but it certainly packs a decent punch under the lights. And with Bournemouth riding high in seventh and able to go level on points with Manchester City in fifth, life is pretty sweet right now for the Cherries.
Kick-off: 8pm GMT.
