The Hammers and the Cherries have only ever met once before in this competition, back in October 1999 when the then-third tier South Coast club were defeated 2-0 at the Boleyn Ground in a third round tie.

West Ham are two-time runners-up in the EFL Cup, while Bournemouth's best performance has been three journeys to the quarter-finals, the last coming in the 2020/21 season.

Last term, Andoni Iraola's side reached the fourth round before losing 2-1 to Liverpool, while the Hammers' run was ended by the same team a round later at Anfield.

Now Iraola will be set for his first meeting with his fellow Basque Julen Lopetegui on these shores. The pair last went head-to-head in 2022 when the Hammers' Head Coach was at Sevilla and his counterpart was in charge of Rayo Vallecano.
