Eddie Howe’s side are aiming to take their first steps towards safety at the Vitality Stadium
Bournemouth welcome Crystal Palace to the Vitality Stadium at 7.45pm BST as the Cherries hope to kickstart their escape from the relegation zone.
Eddie Howe’s side currently sit 18th in the Premier League table and cannot afford to let further ground slip after Brighton stunned Arsenal to bolster their own hopes of survival.
Crystal Palace have all but secured their place in next year’s competition, while a European place remains out of distance, but Roy Hodgson will be determined that his side resume their good form after three successive wins before the enforced break. Follow the action live after the conclusion of West Ham vs Wolves:
How much longer will Wolves be able to hang onto Adama Traore for?
90 mins: Three minutes will be added on.
83 mins: West Ham are looking a bit more positive going forward now and Antonio goes close in trying to bend one into the top corner from 20 yards.
Wolves make a mess of clearing it but eventually scramble the ball away.
71 mins: Neves has just tried a rabona to find Traore at the far post but it’s cut out by Cresswell. At least he is enjoying himself.
69 mins: Soucek launches a long ball forward to Bowen, who beats Saiss in the race of pace but goes down under the challenge looking for a penalty. Anthony Taylor points for a corner – and it comes to nothing.
60 mins: An hour gone here and neither goalkeeper has been truly tested yet, which will come as a big disappointment to both managers.
A real lack of quality in the final third from both sides and changes are surely on the way.
