  1. Bournemouth v West Ham (19:45 GMT)

    Hello! Welcome to live coverage of Bournemouth's Premier League skirmish with European-chasing West Ham. How will Bournemouth's new boys fare against one of the Premier League's meanest defences? 

    The bad news is I don't currently know the answer to that question. The good news is we will all know the answer to that question by the end of the evening.

  2. Hey big spenders!

    While many tighten the purse strings after the excesses of the festive season, Bournemouth have been splashing the cash, spending big. Record fees, serious dough. 

    The January survival kit of Premier League clubs reads very differently to the rest of us. There's no frugality, no cutbacks, no seeing out the harshest of months with bowls of gruel and warm milk.  

    Nope, now is the time for multi-million pound strikers and numerous reinforcements, to batten down the hatches for the battles which are to come.
