West Ham United v AFC Bournemouth
Premier League, London Stadium, Saturday 5 April 2025, 3pm BST
West Ham United continue a busy April schedule with a home Premier League contest against AFC Bournemouth on Saturday, looking for a strong reaction to away disappointment at the hands of Wolverhampton Wanderers last time out.
Prior to that, the Hammers had lost just one of four top-flight games, with that only defeat coming against Newcastle United on 10 March, and Head Coach Graham Potter will be hoping that Molineux defeat doesn't sidetrack his side's steady progress, and that they can continue to try to work their way up the league table in the remaining eight matches.
Our opponents have been something of a surprise package this season, and as 2024/25 approaches its conclusion, AFC Bournemouth are hoping the campaign reaches an epic and historical climax. The Cherries have never before finished above ninth in the English top-flight - achieved under Eddie Howe’s management in 2016/17 - and never before qualified for a UEFA competition.
Despite a tricky run of four defeats and one draw in their last five games, the Dorset club remain only five points behind sixth-placed Chelsea, and they will be determined to bounce back to form and secure European football for next term.
All signs point to an enticing match-up at London Stadium then, with both teams battling for crucial points at either end of the table.
