Hello and welcome to Eurosport's live coverage of West Brom against West Ham. We'll have team news shortly...

Kouyate dummies Brunt in the middle and drives forward but as he looks to take the strike he is upended. The referee waves play on though.

Dorrans is over the ball and swings it in to Dawson who rises highest and glances the ball beyond the goalkeeper. Brilliant free kick and goal.

West Brom have started the more aggressive. Anichebe spins Tomkins and is hauled down on the left side of the pitch, just outside the penalty area.

Brunt whips a cross to the far post where he finds Dorrans. He plays it back into the mix but Adrian is able to flap a hand at it before Berahino gets there. The next corner finds Dawson at the far post but he can't direct it goalwards.

Long ball into the box by Baird and finds Anichebe. He chests it down but his loose shot flies over the crossbar as he fails to get over the ball on his left foot.

Carroll tries to bring in Nolan but Brunt mops up in the middle of the park. Free kick to West Brom on the left as Kouyate jumps unfairly with Berahino.

Corner to West Brom taken by Brunt. He swings it in but despite finding Dawson the ball is cleared by West Ham at the near post.

Long kick from Foster finds Anichebe who holds up well. West Brom get into the box for the first time but a deflected shot goes behind for a corner.

Scrappy in midfield as Brunt and Nolan clash in the air for the ball. West Ham retrieve possession but Wisdom is able to halt Downing as he tries to go down the line.

Cagey start to the game with both teams trying to settle on the ball but neither side giving the other any time on the ball. Downing whips a cross in from the left but it is easily cleared.

The referee toots his whistle and we're underway here at the Hawthorns!

And now one last stat and the odds before kick off. West Ham and West Brom have drawn five of their last seven fixtures against one-another while the Baggies are unbeaten in their last four against West Ham at home.

A West Brom win can be had at 6/4 while a West Ham win can be backed at 2/1. A draw is also priced at 2/1.

West Brom won one game last season under Pepe Mel which incidentally came against West Ham in a 1-0 victory. Saido Berahino, who starts up front, scored the goal that day.

Sam Allardyce is buoyant as West Ham have made their best start to a Premier League season under him. He said: "At the moment we are achieving above expectations but it's vital, going into December, that we sustain things. Historically December and January have been difficult months for us in recent years."

Alan Irvine has been speaking before the game and claims he wants to silence the Hawthorns boo-boys. He'll be hoping he doesn't hear any "You don't know what you're doing" chants, as were heard against Arsenal at the weekend.

West Ham come into this game in inconsistent form. They beat Newcastle on their last outing but haven't won on the road since they too beat Burnley on 18 October.

So the teams have been announced. West Brom are looking for their first victory since 1 November against Leicester City. But the Baggies have not bagged a win in front of a Hawthorns crowd since 28 September in a 4-0 win against Burnley.
