Callum Wilson's brilliant volley gave us the lead (keep an eye out - it is superb!!) and Joshua King's second-half goal have given us all three points!
Our first win of 2019 - get in!
Thank you for following, keep your eyes peeled on afcbTV for all the reaction - COME ON!!
Have a good weekend!!!
90'
SURELY ALL THREE POINTS!!
GET IN!
Stanislas played a lovely low pass in towards Brooks and all of a sudden he was in behind!
He played an inch perfect pass across the goal for King and he dispatched it with ease ten-yards out!
Love it! Surely a win!!
91'
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!
SURELY GAME OVER!!!!!!!
KING HAS SCORED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
90'
Three minutes of added time...
We're trying to keep the ball for a spell but at the moment it is a bit like attack v defence!
82'
Five minutes to go...
It's going to be a nail biter as the Hammers have plenty of the ball!
We're defending solidly though and most of their chances have come from range.
Come on lads dig in!
79'
Save by Boruc!
Chicharito got into space 25-yards out and blasted a low effort which fizzed off the turf, only for Boruc to catch it as it bounced dangerously.
Good stop!
76'
Penalty appeal waved away...
Not sure if it is a penalty, but Brooks went down in the box after a tangle with Angelo Ogbonna.
It's a difficult one as we've seen them given but it's not a 100% stone wall penalty.
The fans behind the goal though are furious!
73'
Wilson off injured...
After his brilliant strike took him to 10 Premier League goals this season, Wilson has gone down injured and is replaced by Junior Stanislas.
Hopefully Stanislas can give us some energy up front, Wilson and King look very tired after putting in a great shift so far.
70'
WHAT A SAVE!
Fabianski that is superb!
King drove down the left and held off the challenge of Diop!
He found Wilson with a clever pass just inside the area! But the striker's low effort, with his left, is superb but Fabianski palms it onto the post! That is so close!
67'
Good chance!
Lerma!
We work it well and Wilson's hold up play is superb!
It's laid off to Fraser on the left, he drills one low into the mixer and it bounces for Lerma who volleys over in the box!
It's a good opportunity but he couldn't keep it down!
66'
Double sub for West Ham...
Robert Snodgrass and Chicharito are on for Andy Carroll and Samir Nasri.
Probably more offensive changes for the visitors.
65'
25 minutes left to play...
West Ham are on top.
They're having plenty of the ball and we're sitting deep and looking for bits on the counter.
We've defended pretty solidly so far though (don't want to jinx it!)
58'
Wait 'til you see this on afcbTV!
59'
A brilliant chance for a break!!
Close to getting Wilson AND Fraser in on goal but it's missed!
We break superbly from a Hammers corner and King drives at the West Ham defence!
He could have played it to Wilson or Fraser waiting - but he overcooked the pass at the crucial moment! That could be a big moment!
53'
YESSSSSSSS!
We counter superbly thanks to sublime touch by Fraser - he drives 50-yards forward on the left and dinks in a high cross!
Wilson, OH MY WORD, picks out a volley of the top drawer! It was Shearer-esque!
He let it drop, 20-yards out BANG! Top corner - great great goal!!
53'
WHAT A GOALLLL!
WILSONNNNNNNNNNN!
GREAT VOLLEY!!!!!!
49'
That should be 1-0...
I can't believe what I've just seen.
How West Ham aren't a goal up I will never know...
Carroll won a header at the back post, which reached Michail Antonio five-yards out!
He completely scuffed it, before the ball bounced to the back post where Carroll was two yards out with the goal at his mercy! SOMEHOW he smashed it over, miss of the season and so so fortunate for us.
48'
Save!!
Almost 1-0!
A great delivery from Ryan Fraser from the right is nodded on by Steve Cook!
It's going into the bottom corner but for the most outstretched hand of Fabianski!
Top save!
The rebound is turned just wide by Ake as well - that is so close!!
47'
Solid so far...
46'
Back underway...
A big half ahead!
No subs at half time for either side as we attack the Vitality Steve Fletcher Stand in this period.
Hopefully there's a spark to our play - the fans are right behind the team!
HT
HALF TIME
A bit flat at the end, but it's goalless at the break.
We need a moment of magic to get something out of this one - David Brooks has had the best chance of the game, a header at the back post which should've been converted from Callum Wilson's cross.
A close encounter, 0-0 at the interval.
41'
A tight contest...
40'
Five minutes to the break...
It's got a bit scrappy.
Neither team is keeping the ball for long spells as the end of the half approaches.
If it carries on like this it could be one goal that wins it, rare for these games!
31'
A lovely touch...
In the 31st minute, fans around the ground take part in a minute's applause for Jamie Bird, who was 31 and a huge Cherries fan.
He unfortunately passed away from Brain Cancer and it's a great touch with his picture on the scoreboard on 31 minutes.
Rest in peace, Jamie.
31'
Still plugging away...
30'
30 minutes played...
A bit of a delay in the updates due to the wifi... sorry about that!
So, we had the ball in the net thanks to Nathan Ake's header, but Wilson was adjudged to be offside, probably fairly as well.
Samir Nasri then skewed a low effort just wide for the Hammers - it's an even game here, tight one at Vitality Stadium.
Still 0-0.
17'
Andy Carroll is booked...
He's gone to challenge for a header with Ryan Fraser of all people (about a foot difference between the pair!) and he has just wiped him out off the ball.
Not a pleasant one, probably a yellow card in fairness though.
First booking of the day.
10'
Ten minutes played...
We should have the lead with that big chance for Brooks, but we've been on top of the opening period so far.
We're getting joy playing out from the back, Andy Carroll isn't pressing Steve Cook and Nathan Ake so they're getting a lot of joy playing it into central areas.
Hopefully we can make our good start count!
07'
BIGGGG CHANCE!!
David Brooks and Callum Wilson combine!
A superb dinked ball by Brooks finds Wilson in the area and he swings a high cross back to Brooks who is unmarked at the back post!!
He's four-yards out but it's headed wide - he must've been put off by the Hammers players on the line!
Should be 1-0, but so so close!!
01'
First effort of the game...
Jefferson Lerma skews one wide.
But a good positive start from us, we look confident on the ball and worked that move well to get Lerma in a position to shoot.
More of the same build up!
01'
COME ON THEN!
The fans are up for this!
Let's hope we can deliver...
We'll attack the Colmar Construction Ted MacDougall Stand as ever in the first-half. A big performance needed against a strong Hammers side.
Ryan Fraser kicks us off - come on lads!
14:58
Log in NOW!
The players are out on the pitch, this is your two minute warning!
Log in now for free live audio commentary, we're all set at the stadium and we're underway as we wait for the referee to blow his whistle.
Let's go!
14:27
He's back...
And on the hunt for goals!
Callum Wilson has scored five goals in five Premier League games against West Ham, that's more than he's bagged against any other side in the competition.
14:23
Head to head...
As mentioned they've been exciting games against the Hammers!
We are unbeaten in our last four encounters against West Ham, winning twice.
West Ham have scored in all 12 of the last meetings, that means they have 25 goals in total against us.
Earlier in the season, we won 2-1 against them, Callum Wilson scored a superb solo goal and Steve Cook nodded in a header to nab us our first win on the road in 2018/19!
14:17
Hopefully some more magic from this man later!
14:16
Adam Smith on pre-match duties...
In his pre-match interview with the Premier League, Smithy had this to say...
"We've worked hard this week and are looking for three points today.
"West Ham have been on fire recently and it's going to be a tough one for sure, but we're feeling confident in ourselves."
14:02
A 450th career appearance for Artur Boruc!
14:00
TEAM NEWS!
Artur Boruc... IN!
Callum Wilson... IN!
So they're the two changes from the narrow defeat at Everton, with Asmir Begovic and Junior Stanislas dropping to the bench.
Despite our recent form, (we've lost 11 of the last 14) Eddie Howe said this in his pre-match press conference yesterday...
"I've seen a real strength within the group this week and the players are very determined to turn things around."
The players are eager to make amends and hopefully the way back up starts today!
13:24
Callum Wilson faces a late fitness test, he's had a hamstring injury that made him miss the last few weeks.
Hopefully he can return today, just like Adam Smith did against Everton last week.
Lewis Cook, Simon Francis and Dominic Solanke are definitely out.
The full team announcement will be here first at 2pm.
13:10
Will Marko Arnautovic play today?
Well, let's hope not!
We've just seen that since the start of last season, the Austrian has contributed to 26 league goals (18 goals, eight assists) and that's double any of his Hammers' team mates.
Rumour has it he's not in the squad after being linked with a move to China. We'll keep you posted on both sets of teams with them being announced at 2pm.
13:07
How do the Hammers look heading into this one?
Well, they have won six of their past nine league games, that is as many wins as in their previous 24 matches.
A big stat is that only Liverpool and Manchester United have earned more points since the start of December than West Ham's 19.
The Hammers have won 14 away points so far in this season and that's just one less point than they got in the entirety of last season.
12:38
Expect goals today...
In just seven Premier League games between the two sides, there have been 28 goals!
That's an average of four goals per game... hopefully we're on the right side of that this afternoon!
12:21
Welcome...
Vitality Stadium is set!
It's wet and windy but we're all good to go in another big Premier League game.
West Ham make the trip and we'll have everything covered, from live audio commentary across the world, to text updates keeping you posted on every single key moment.
