Hello and welcome to our live coverage of the Premier League match between West Ham and Southampton at Upton Park.

Tomkins slides in late on Lallana and Southampton have a free-kick in a good position wide right.

Downing gets past Chambers but produces a poor cross and Fonte clears.

That's probably because Southampton have made a cracking start here. They're really dominating the early stages.

It's a very quiet Upton Park at the moment - only the travelling Saints fans making any noise.

Early opening for Southampton as Lallana's long ball finds Rodriguez, but his touch lets him down and Demel is able to clear.

Mark Clattenburg gets this game underway. It's the first time that Clattenburg has officiated a Southampton game since Saints complained about his conduct with Adam Lallana.

KICK OFF. Southampton get us underway at West Ham.

No side has lost more points from winning positions than West Ham United (14) in the Premier League this season.

West Ham have won just one of their last eight league meetings with Southampton (W1 D4 L3). Meanwhile, Southampton have won back-to-back away games in the Premier League – they have never won three in a row in the competition.

Let's take a look at a few pre-match stats...

Mauricio Pochettino: "To be honest I am happy that we will have him [Mark Clattenburg] as the referee. It doesn't worry me. I haven't spoken to him since but that is why I'm happy to see him on Saturday. I'm happy to say hello to him and I will try to help him as much as I can from the sidelines. It's good that we can put things back to normal out of something that was taken out of context. As a club and as a manager, it's our duty to help referees. Human errors can happen."

Sam Allardyce on a departed star: "I think the rumours or allegations will be made probably by Ravel's representatives. But there is no truth in the fact I have sat with Ravel Morrison and tried to press him into signing with any agent, never mind mine. It's his choice, his decision, not mine. Unless they (players) ask me, which he didn't. I haven't had a discussion on Ravel signing with Mark Curtis, no. "

West Ham in in form and there is no surprise to discover they are unchanged from the side which beat Norwich 2-0. Southampton, though, make six changes from the side which lost in the FA Cup last weekend, with Jose Fonte and Morgan Schneiderlin among those returning.
