Bournemouth can go within a point of opponents West Ham with a win on the south coast.
The Cherries succumbed to a 2-0 loss at Everton last week, and are without a win since mid-December; they sit 12th on 27 points.
West Ham come into this game off the back of an excellent performance and result against Arsenal, but the positive mood has been overshadowed by the lack of clarity surrounding Marko Arnautovic’s future, who is being heavily linked with a move to China. Follow the live action below.
What time does it start?
Bournemouth vs West Ham kicks off at 3:00pm (GMT) on Saturday 19 January.
Where can I watch it?
The match will not be shown live on TV or online in the UK.
Independent Sport will keep you up to date with all the goals as they fly in via our live blog.
Highlights will be shown at 10:20pm on BBC One.
Player to watch…
Felipe Anderson: Slowly but surely, West Ham’s record signing is finding his feet in the Premier League. The 25-year-old is the club’s top scorer with eight goals, and his finishing has been exquisite. If Arnautovic is to leave this month, Anderson’s role in the Hammers’ attack will grow in importance.

Good afternoon and welcome to The Independent's live coverage of today's 3pm kick-offs across the Premier League.
Team news will be announced across the country at 2pm, which we'll bring you as soon as it drops for all six games that start mid-afternoon.
With Manchester City not playing until Sunday, Liverpool can put the pressure on as they take on Crystal Palace at Anfield, while Manchester United are also at home with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer looking to continue his winning streak against Brighton and Hove Albion.
Newcastle United need a win at home to move out of the relegation zone as they face Cardiff City, the team directly above them, while Bournemouth and West Ham meet in a mid-table encounter at the Vitality Stadium. That’s not the only clash on the south coast as resurgent Southampton host struggling Everton, and Watford take on Burnley at Vicarage Road.
If the seven goals at Molineux in the day's early game are anything to go by, we could be in for a superb day of Premier League action.
Six games for your consumption in the three o'clock window, and we'll have updates from all of them during the course of the afternoon...
Bournemouth vs West Ham
No Marko Arnautovic for the visitors at the Vitality Stadium, with the Austrian's departure to China perhaps moving closer by the day despite West Ham's resolve to keep him.
Andy Carroll starts in his absence on the South Coast, while Callum Wilson (another player in the rumour mill this January) returns for Bournemouth.
