Bournemouth - West Ham United live updates

Indeed Carroll does hobble out of the game. Let’s hope it’s not too serious. Jelavic still hasn’t come on yet to replace him…

Carroll walks slowly to the sideline as play goes on. West Ham momentarily down a man.

Worrying moments as Carroll goes down off the ball. Looks like it’s that troublesome knee…

CHANCE! Great run from Carroll, driving into the box as he gets away from Daniels but it’s just over the bar from Valencia under pressure.

A lovely ball from Payet but Valencia makes his run just a little too early and the flag goes up. A lot of pace up front for the Hammers.

POSSESSION: Bournemouth 34% - 66% West Ham

Valencia thinks he’s fouled by Gosling but referee Atkinson waves play on. The West Ham man seemed a little unfortunate there.

Free kick goes against Adam Smith. Afobe chasing everything but yet to get a significant touch.

Valencia looking lively down that right flank early on. Will give Cook something to think about tonight.

After that early scare, Bournemouth have settled into a passing rhythm. Both sides like to play a similar style.

STAT: Bournemouth and West Ham have met on six previous occasions (all competitions). Bournemouth's only victory (D2-L3) came this PL season: 4-3 in London. It was both the first time that the club scored goals in the Premier League and Bournemouth's first top flight victory ever.

CHANCE! Mark Noble, making his 300th appearance for West Ham, almost puts his side ahead immediately as Boruc’s poor clearance falls straight to him but he side foots over the bar.

KICK-OFF! Referee Martin Atkinson blows the whistle to get us underway here. Bournemouth’s new boys on display tonight.

FIVE MINUTES TO KICK-OFF: The teams are in the tunnel and preparing to make their way onto the pitch.

A reminder of tonight's teams:

AFC Bournemouth: Boruc, Francis, Cook, Gosling, Surman, Arter, Daniels, Smith, Stanislas, Afobe, Ritchie. SUBS: Federici, Distin, O'Kane, Pugh, Grabban, Murray, Iturbe.

West Ham United: Adrian, Tomkins, Collins, Ogbonna, Cresswell, Obiang, Noble (c), Antonio, Payet, Valencia, Carroll. SUBS: Randolph (GK), Jenkinson, Reid, Oxford, Song, Cullen, Jelavic

TEN MINUTES TO KICK-OFF: Andy Carroll is a man on form and will provide a potent aerial threat. 51% of his Premier League goals have been headers – only two strikers to have scored 20+ goals in the competition have scored a higher proportion with their heads (Kenwyne Jones, 55% and Duncan Ferguson, 53%).

Dimitri Payet has created 49 goalscoring chances in the Premier League this season and despite missing seven games through injury this is still 23 more than any other West Ham player in 2015-16.

Sixth placed West Ham are winless in their last five Premier League away games (L2 D3) and have netted just twice in this run.
