Latest team news for Bournemouth vs West Ham
Aston Villa's defeat was interrupted early in the match by a horrific collision between Adam Smith and Tyler Adams. Adams was largely unaffected, while Smith had to leave the field with a head injury and was substituted as part of concussion protocol.
The veteran right-back's availability for the weekend is uncertain, so Lewis Cook is likely to be moved to replace him. Meanwhile, Alex Jimenez endured one of football's most humiliating rituals at Villa Park – being substituted shortly after coming on as a substitute.
Cook is one of two concerns for Bournemouth, as Ben Gannon Doak was stretchered off the pitch with a hamstring injury in Scotland's historic World Cup qualifying win against Denmark, and he will certainly not be available this Saturday.
Amidst growing speculation about his future, Semenyo needs to redeem himself after failing to score or assist in his last four Premier League games since missing a penalty.
For West Ham, the victory against Burnley was not without its drawbacks. Lucas Paqueta received his fifth yellow card of the season and will be suspended for one match.
Paqueta's suspension opens up a starting opportunity for Tomas Soucek – who came off the bench and scored the second goal against Burnley. Meanwhile, Freddie Potts needs further examination due to a calf injury.
Lukasz Fabianski (back), Dinos Mavropanos (thigh), and Niclas Fullkrug (thigh) are all doubtful for the match. Oliver Scarles, however, is definitely out due to a shoulder injury.

Latest football match prediction: Bournemouth vs West Ham
A two-goal defeat at Manchester City was understandable and even acceptable, but the real disaster struck Bournemouth in the West Midlands two weeks ago, when everything that could have gone wrong went wrong for Andoni Iraola.
Not only did Bournemouth suffer a humiliating 0-4 defeat to Aston Villa, but they also witnessed Antoine Semenyo disappoint his manager and many fantasy players when Emiliano Martinez saved his penalty. To make matters worse, Iraola also lost Adam Smith to a head injury.
From competing with the stronger teams, Bournemouth have fallen to ninth place in the Premier League table due to a poor run of away games, now only three points ahead of 13th-placed Everton.
Nevertheless, returning to their home ground offers great hope for the South England team. After 11 rounds of the 2025-26 season, only Manchester City has a better home record than Bournemouth.
In fact, Iraola's team has won 13 out of a possible 15 points at Vitality Stadium, and their home wins this season (4 matches) are equal to the total number of wins in their last 12 home games of the 2024-25 season.
West Ham United, under manager Nuno Espirito Santo, also recently found joy in victory, with the former Nottingham Forest and Tottenham Hotspur manager leading the team to two consecutive wins before the break.
Newcastle United and Burnley both traveled to London Stadium in early November and both left empty-handed after conceding three goals to West Ham, a team that is now very close to safety.
West Ham's 3-2 victory over Burnley in Round 11 puts them just behind Burnley – who are currently 17th – due to an inferior goal difference. If they win at Vitality Stadium and achieve other favorable results, West Ham could climb to 14th place this weekend.
However, the two-week breaks haven't been good for West Ham this year: they've lost all three Premier League matches played immediately after international breaks in 2025 – no other team has been in this situation.
However, historically, West Ham are considered a nemesis for Bournemouth. They are unbeaten in their last eight Premier League matches against Bournemouth and also defeated Iraola's team in the Summer Series in the US.
