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.

This man changed the game today. An assist for the first goal, a pre-assist for the second. 

How much longer will Wolves be able to hang onto Adama Traore for?

Final thoughts from Jack Rosser at the London Stadium

“West Ham were well off it almost from start to finish here. They were already under a lot of pressure, and those two games against Spurs and Chelsea are really looming now.

“There was very little intensity from the hosts, something Moyes will be desperate to address before the trip to north London next week. With Watford and Brighton both picking up points earlier today, they’ll be watching Bournemouth rather nervously.”

FULL TIME | West Ham 0-2 Wolves

A miserable return to Premier League action for West Ham as Jimenez and Pedro Neto’s late goals condemn the Hammers to defeat.

They could drop into the relegation zone tonight if Bournemouth avoid defeat. Wolves up to sixth and level on points with Manchester United – what a season they’re having.

GOAL! West Ham 0-2 Wolves | Pedro Neto 85′

Oh my goodness! An incredible hit from Neto!

But Traore deserves credit again for the pre-assist, showing quick feet to get past Soucek and find Doherty out wide.

He floats an inviting cross to the far post and Neto absolutely rockets one into the top corner. Fabianski never saw it!

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.

80 mins: Fornals and Ngakia make way for Fredericks and Yarmolenko – like for like swaps from Moyes.

They desperately need something in these final 10 minutes. Who is going to step up?

Jack Rosser at the London Stadium

“West Ham are really going to have to step it up now. They have barely threatened all afternoon and, with Traore’s introduction picking up the pace for Wolves, Moyes will have to find an answer.

“It looks like he sees Andriy Yarmolenko and Ryan Fredericks as the answer.”


2020-06-20T18:04:56.950Z

75 mins: Immediately West Ham try to strike back with a corner and Rice’s header is punched out for another corner by Patricio.

Wolves make a mess of clearing it but eventually scramble the ball away.

GOAL!

GOAL! West Ham 0-1 Wolves | Raul Jimenez 73′

Well, we’ve been waiting a long time for some quality and Traore makes an instant impact from the bench.

The winger uses his blistering pace to gain half a yard on Fornals and whips in a brilliant cross to Jimenez, who couldn’t miss with the close-range header.
 

West Ham are up against it now.

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.


2020-06-20T17:59:26.743Z

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.

67 mins: Anderson has struggled to get involved today and he’s the man to make way for Lanzini.

The players will now have their second drinks break of the match.

Jack Rosser at the London Stadium

“West Ham about to make their first change with Manuel Lanzini readying himself. They could do with him establishing some control in the Wolves half – neither side have been able to really assert any sort of pressure so far with very few chances.”

2020-06-20T17:53:13.440Z

63 mins: Nuno rolls the dice with two attacking changes.

Adama Traore and Pedro Neto replace Jota and Dendoncker. That’s probably a 3-4-3 for Wolves now.

Still no subs from Moyes as of yet.

YELLOW CARD


2020-06-20T17:51:13.983Z

61 mins: Antonio catches Saiss rather late as the Moroccan was scrambling to clear the ball and the forward picks up a booking.


2020-06-20T17:50:26.530Z

60 mins: An hour gone here and neither goalkeeper has been truly tested yet, which will come as a big disappointment to both managers.

YELLOW CARD


2020-06-20T17:46:12.410Z

56 mins: First yellow card of the game goes to Moutinho after he brings down Anderson, who had skipped away from the veteran midfielder.


2020-06-20T17:45:31.466Z

54 mins: Another example of Jota and Jimenez bouncing off each other and the latter really should do better with the pass to set up the Portuguese, who was clean through on goal.

A real lack of quality in the final third from both sides and changes are surely on the way.
