Good evening and welcome to live coverage of Southampton versus West Ham United in today’s early evening kick-off in the Premier League. Teams to follow shortly.

It's over! Relief for West Ham and Manuel Pellegrini as they claim a vital three points tonight at St Mary's.

Martin has now gone down from the goal-kick, looking like he's tweaked a thigh muscle. More goalkeeping problems for West Ham? They've used all their subs, so he'll have to stay out there.

Martin is booked for time-wasting while taking a goal-kick.

Frustration for Saints fans as Adams and Stephens both refuse shooting opportunities. Out on the left, the dangerous Djenepo wins a corner.

It's just to the left of the Southampton area. Ward-Prowse curls it over the wall but straight into the arms of Martin. There will be a minimum of four additional minutes.

Djenepo wins a free-kick for Southampton is a dangerous position after coaxing Balbuena into a foul.

Diop replaces Noble as West Ham look to protect their precious one goal lead.

Che Adams replaces Cedric for Southampton.

A chance for Southampton. After some patient interplay they work a crossing chance for Cedric on the right. His cross goes through everyone and finds Hojbjerg at the back post, but he scuffs his shot well wide.

Stuart Armstrong replaces Long for Southampton.

Rice takes on Cedric down the left and drills in a brilliant low cross that Southampton do well to clear.

BIG CHANCE! Hojbjerg breaks forward into the West Ham area. He checks, and cuts it back to Stephens who is in space on the penalty spot but slashes his shot miserably wide. That was an open look at goal.

Carlos Sanchez replaces Haller for West Ham.

West Ham might rue these chances. Antonio leaves Stephens trailing again and a combination of Formals, Haller and Antonio lay a ball off to Yarmolenko, who hooks his shot over the bar from 12 yards.

GREAT SAVE! A wonderful inswinging cross from Antonio on the left finds Haller, who heads it at the bottom corner from six yards out and McCarthy brilliantly palms it wide.

Another disallowed goal! Ings smashes the ball into the top corner from 20 yards but Atkinson had already blown for a foul by Djenepo several seconds earlier.

You can almost palpably sense another goal coming here, though it could be at either end.

Yarmolenko replaces Snodgrass for West Ham. In the Southampton area a cross from the right finds Haller, but he hopelessly miscues his volley from 8 yards when he had a lot of time and space. The ball trickles through to McCarthy.

Romeu plays Ings through into the West Ham area, and his shot now cracks off the post! He was given offside but it looked like he was well on from the replays.

OFF THE BAR! Djenepo runs Fredericks again, and this time cuts his cross back to Ings. The ball pops up after Ings controls it and he lashes a volley against the bar! It bounces down and out, and Long can only put the rebound into the side-netting.
