Preview...
It’s a big game for…
Jordon Ibe. The young winger drew public criticism on Monday from manager Eddie Howe, who went so far as to call him a ‘disappointment’ after his performance against Millwall in the third round of the FA cup. He will be looking for a chance to silence his critics against a Hull side that is leaky at the back.
Best stat…
Of the 44 goals Hull City have conceded this season 20 have been from set-pieces, more than any other Premier League team.
Remember when…
The last time these two sides met was at the Vitality Stadium in October, where Bournemouth inflicted Hull’s joint-worst ever Premier League defeat.
Player to watch…
Robert Snodgrass. The Scotland winger has been hugely influential in Hull City’s sombre Premier League campaign. Snodgrass has been involved in nine of Hull’s 17 goals this season, scoring seven and assisting two, and has subsequently drawn transfer attention from West Ham along the way.

Welcome to The Independent's live coverage of today's Premier League 3pm kick-offs, with 12 teams in action on a busy day in the top flight.
Arsenal top the bill as they look to return to the top four, having dropped down to fifth following the 3-3 draw with Bournemouth in their last league outing. They travel to Swansea to take on a side struggling down in 19th and trying to get to grips with a third manager this season in Paul Clement.
Burnley will look to continue their impressive form at Turf Morr when they host Southampton, and Sean Dyche's side can jump ahead of the Saints and move into the top half with a victory, while Southampton will hope to close the gap on seventh-placed Everton.,
Basement side Hull City know they will remain in the Premier league bottom three even if they beat Bournemouth when they take on the Cherries at the KCOM Stadium, with new manager Marco Silva getting his first taste of Premier League football since replacing Mike Phelan.
Sunderland will look to move out of the relegation zone when they face Stoke City, having mounted something of a U-turn under David Moyes which has been spearheaded by striker Jermain Defoe. West Ham will look to put a difficult week behind them when they meet Crystal Palace, but they will have to do so without key midfielder Dimitri Payet after he was banished from the first team after refusing to play for the club.
Finally, what is sure to be an emotional fixture at Vicarage Road sees Watford take on Middlesbrough, with the Hornets set to pay tribute to their greatest manager in Graham Taylor after he died on Thursday following a heart attack. Current manager Walter Mazzarri is under pressure to turn around their poor form of late, with just seven points separating them from the drop zone.

Tottenham have laid down a marker for the weekend with a thumping victory this lunchtime. How can their North London rivals Arsenal respond this afternoon?
The Gunners trip to Swansea is one of six Premier League matches kicking off at three o'clock, and we'll have goal news from each and every one.
KICK-OFF: After a minute's applause for Graham Taylor at every Premier League ground - none more emotional than the one at Vicarage Road - this afternoon's six games are up and underway.
2 mins: PENALTY! HULL 0 BOURNEMOUTH 0:
It didn't take long for Hull to shoot themselves in the foot this week. With just over a minute on the clock, Harry Maguire dived in on Scottish livewire Ryan Fraser, and Martin Atkinson had no hesitation in pointing to the spot. After hitting Hull for six at Dean Court back in October, Bournemouth have a chance to bag another early in the return fixture.
