It’s been a slow January transfer window across the league with only a small handful of deals made over the last few weeks. One of the few high-profile signings has been the arrival of Man City’s Kalvin Phillips at West Ham. The England international and former Leeds player will make his first appearance in the claret and blue of West Ham as they take on Bournemouth at the London Stadium tonight. Phillip’s arrival is well-timed as the 6th-placed Irons need a boost after back-to-back draws against Brighton and Sheffield Utd.
Bournemouth’s winter momentum has been halted following two defeats in a row. But these results won’t be troubling the Cherries as they came against elite sides in Tottenham and Liverpool. A 5-0 thrashing of Swansea in the FA Cup picked up the mood, and after struggling at the start of the season, Bournemouth are now looking up the table with a top-half finish potentially within their grasp.
Here's how they line up:
West Ham: Areola, Johnson, Mavropanos, Zouma, Emerson, Phillips, Soucek, Alvarez, Kudus, Ward-Prowse, Bowen.
Bournemouth: Neto, Smith, Zabarnyi, Sensi, Kelly, Cook, Christie, Semenyo, Scott, Tavernier, Solanke.
When Bournemouth welcomed West Ham to the Vitality Stadium earlier this season the game finished as a 1-1 draw, but neither team will want to settle for just a point this time around. Make sure you don’t miss the West Ham vs Bournemouth live stream to see how this EPL game plays out.
