Good afternoon, and welcome to our LIVE coverage of West Ham v Southampton.

West Ham on the counter, Lanzini racing into the box and challenged. The fans scream for a penalty but nobody else really does.

Southampton trying to put their foot on the ball and calm things down after that early opportunity for the hosts.

Good ball, that, nicely lofted over the Southampton defence, leaving Van Dijk stranded.

Zaza applauds the ball through from Ogbonna as he chests it down and sends his shot wide.

Kick-off!

Payet and Noble have a bit of a hug before kick-off. That's nice.

The teams are lining up and there's plenty of noise in the stadium cauldron.

If you're interested in the way that stewards are briefed at the London Stadium, by the way, have at it.

The teams then - West Ham: Adrian, Nordtveit, Reid, Ogbonna, Arbeloa, Antonio, Kouyate, Noble, Lanzini, Payet, Zaza.

Lots of people looking around the London Stadium lately...including stewards trying to keep an eye on fans...
