The starting striker for Bournemouth should get plenty of chances. 14 of his 31 shots have been on target in the Premier League this season, so he is reliably accurate. He’s also fired in 7 shots on target in his last 5 games and only blanked v Ipswich last week. Might be on penalty duty if Justin Kluivert is subbed off or doesn’t start.

Bowen is finding some form with 8 shots on target in his last 5 Premier League games. 16 of his 36 shots have been on target this season and over the last 18 months he has a 44% shooting accuracy, which is strong for an inside forward type of player.

Averages 4.10 shots per 90 and only Erling Haaland has a higher average in the Premier League. Fired in a huge 20 shots in his last 5 EPL games. Has only a 22% accuracy ratio this season and often fires wild attempts. Semenyo is an individual maverick player who has been given a licence to beat his man followed by regular shots.

Averages 2.10 fouls per 90 in the Premier League this season. Only five other players rank higher. Plays in central midfield so will be involved in the heart of the action, difficult to avoid fouls. Bournemouth’s pressing style makes him vulnerable. No team has more fouls than the Cherries this season. Mohammed Kudus and Jarrod Bowen are both fouled at least once per game and could cause him problems when they cut inside.

West Ham are a very inconsistent team but often play their best football on the big occasion. They have won both of their last two Monday night matches and are often better suited as an underdog. Bournemouth are in good form but are too short of a price to win this match. They have slipped up against the likes of Leicester and Brentford already this season. West Ham are unbeaten in all of the last 5 H2H meetings.

Referee Chris Kavanagh averages nearly 6 cards per game in all competitions this season. This being a Monday night game under the Sky cameras should give some extra spice. Bournemouth average the most fouls of any team in the Premier League this season. Both teams rank in the top 10 for cards obtained in the EPL.

Only Mohammed Kudus and Jarrod Bowen average more shots per game than Tomas Soucek (2.10). At 6 ft 3 in he’s a menace in the air from any set piece situation. The Czech has up 4 shots on target in his last 4 games, scoring 2 goals.

Averages 3.30 shots per 90, the most of any West Ham player and is not shy of shooting. Fired in 10 shots on target in his last 5 EPL matches played. Had at least 1 shot on target in both games back after his 5-match suspension. Not scored since mid October and is the sort of player who will be desperate to find the back of the net.
