Bournemouth v West Ham United: Manager quotes
Eddie Howe (Bournemouth)
On Tyrone Mings' five-match ban: "We are disappointed for Tyrone, we feel it was accidental.
"I don't think he has that kind of streak in him. Although he is a beast in stature he is certainly a gentle giant on and off the pitch. It's a real shame for him.
"I see a defender who has made a very good tackle trying to get back to his goal as quickly as possible. His focus is on the ball, not on what lies beneath him.
"You can make any interpretation you want, you can see what you want to see, but I think people who understand the game to a really high level - especially being a defender myself - will know that your only priority is to defend your goal."
Slaven Bilic (West Ham United)
On Mark Noble: "Mark is our captain, he is our skipper and he has done really well recently.
"He is the leader of the team. He keeps us balanced. Sometimes he has a great game and sometimes he doesn't, but overall he is playing good for us.
"He is also more than a player on the pitch. His presence means a lot for the others around him. He is very influential, especially when it is not going well. He motivates the players and he cheers them up.
"You can't just judge a player on one mistake. Otherwise Barcelona should have sold all their players after the first leg in Paris, and now they should give them all long-term contracts. Paris, the other way round. Sell them all."
On Bournemouth: "Their last game gave them a big boost of confidence and belief because to get a point at Old Trafford is always a good result especially if you do it with 10 men.
"We are expecting a really difficult game on a difficult pitch with a good atmosphere but we are looking forward to it.
"There is still a big job to do. We have to approach every game and try and win it and see where it will bring us. We want, and we have to finish strongly."
Bournemouth v West Ham United: Our prediction
Recommended bet:
Our David John writes... the way Bournemouth celebrated after holding out for a 1-1 draw in the controversial clash at Manchester United you would think they had avoided the drop on the final day of the season.
They could still be involved in that sort of scenario come May but the confidence gained from the performance cannot be underestimated with now a reasonably handy gap to the drop zone and control of their own destiny.
The tricky part is to build on that back at the Vitality Stadium as the fact they still have not won a Premier League game this year could have got a little bit lost in all the euphoria of last weekend.
You would expect a team coached by the level-headed Eddie Howe to get back on an even keel pretty quickly and prepare properly but they will jog on to the pitch without Tyrone Mings, who has been improving by the week but now sits out the next five games after his set-to with Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
Mings is 6-5 and would have been a useful weapon against the aerial power of Andy Carroll (fit to play after a whack in the face against Chelsea) so it is the raw Baily Cargill who will most likely step in and fill the gap for Howe.
The 21-year-old manfully played his part in helping stem the tide against the Red Devils but keeping tags on the physical Geordie quickly has him on a very steep learning curve.
The Hammers themselves sit in the relative safety of mid-table and are on a recovery mission after a 2-1 home defeat to Chelsea on Monday night.
That is no disgrace and they did not play particularly badly but patently lacked the speed of movement displayed by the league leaders and were unable to turn some good spells of possession into anything tangible until Manuel Lanzini’s consolation.
The pace angle should be resolved with Michail Antonio available once more to maraud down the flanks following a one-game suspension while the excellent Lanzini is thriving currently as the creative force in the side following the departure of Dimitri Payet.
The recent form West Ham have shown on the road really catches the eye (WLWWD) and Carroll is fancied to enjoy another good day on the south coast by adding to the one he nabbed down the road at Southampton.
Prediction: Bournemouth 1-2 West Ham
