Bournemouth Host West Ham in Premier League on Nov. 22

AFC Bournemouth will host West Ham United at the Vitality Stadium on Saturday, November 22, in a key Premier League fixture that could shift both teams' positions in the standings. Kickoff is scheduled for 3 p.m. GMT, marking the return of top-flight action following the November international break.

Bournemouth enter the match in ninth place with 18 points from 11 games, sitting level with four other clubs but just three points above 13th-placed Everton. The Cherries have shown promise this season, particularly at home, where they have earned 13 points from a possible 15 with four victories, matching their total from the final 12 home matches of last season. Only Manchester City boasts a better record on their own pitch. However, recent results have tempered optimism: Bournemouth suffered a 3-1 defeat at Manchester City and a 4-0 loss at Aston Villa before the break, exposing defensive vulnerabilities with just four clean sheets all season and 10 goals conceded in their last four outings.

Manager Andoni Iraola's side has been involved in high-scoring affairs, with over 2.5 goals in five of their last six matches and at least two goals scored in six league games overall. Forward...
