West Ham make the trip to Bournemouth tonight for another Monday night Premier League clash.
Julen Lopetegui had the pressure somewhat eased on him last week with a vital 2-1 victory over Wolves, but more is needed if his reign is to really kick into gear.
That nervy win does appear to have at least bought the Spaniard more time.
Traveling to Bournemouth, however, is a daunting prospect.
The Cherries are enjoying another excellent season under Andoni Iraola, having already beaten Arsenal, Manchester City and Tottenham at home this season.
