AFC Bournemouth look to make it four wins in a row when they host West Ham United at the Vitality Stadium on Monday Night.
The Cherries are coming off the back of a 2-1 win away at Ipswich Town, where a stoppage time Dango Ouattara winner snatched all three points in Suffolk.
For West Ham, they are also coming off the back of a victory, after beating Wolves 2-1 at the London Stadium.
Both league fixtures between the two sides last year were draws, and Andoni Iraola knows it will once again be a tough test for his side, he said: “They are a very good team.
“They have very good players; they come from an important win.”
The Cherries have already faced the Hammers this season, losing 1-0 in the Carabao Cup, with a late goal from Jarrod Bowen sending Bournemouth packing early in the competition.
Andoni Iraola says that game has been useful in his preparation, he said: “The players will be the same.
“The structures have been kept quite similar; it’s a good reference.
“We played quite well that game, I finished quite happy.
"It wasn’t enough to beat them, I hope we can be better, especially in the last third.”
Earlier in the week, it was announced that Marcus Tavernier and Marcos Senesi will be unavailable for the Cherries having picked up injuries.
Tavernier has started 13 of the 15 Premier League games so far this season, and Iraola knows the midfielder will be a big miss.
Iraola said: “He gives us a lot in all the phases of the game.
“Tactically, he’s very smart so we can use him in different positions, he’s a very good player.”
With other results across the weekend, a win for the Cherries would take them up to 6th place in the Premier League table.
A win by a three-goal margin, however, would take Iraola's side into 5th above reigning champions Manchester City.
