UNLUCKY!
Downes picks out Antonio with a nice cross into the penalty area from the right-hand side, but Antonio's header is all wrong as it falls to Bowen, but he initially controls the ball with his hand before his strike sails wide of the far post.
The referee awards a free-kick for Anderlecht.

GOOD SAVE!
Anderlecht break at pace down the left flank as Verschaeren bears down on goal following a good forward run, but his low shot from just outside the penalty area towards the near corner is tipped behind by Areola!

ONTO ROOF OF NET!
Emerson's diagonal cross from deep finds Ogbonna at the back post, but his header just goes over the bar and onto the roof of the net.
21'
FOUL!
Hoedt catches Antonio late in the centre of the field, but the defender escapes a booking. The referee hands him a final warning from the look of things.
18'
CORNER TO WEST HAM
West Ham win a corner. Bowen does well to pick up the ball in the right channel, before he tries to cut it back for Antonio in the penalty area. Unfortunately for the forward, he cannot quite get to it, but Benrahma picks up the loose ball. He tries to go for goal, but his shot is blocked and they win a corner.
The set-piece comes to nothing, as Dawson is penalised for a foul on Van Crombrugge.
16'
CHANCE!
Anderlecht create their best chance of the game! Murillo plays in Verschaeren down the right flank, before he cuts it back for Silva in the penalty area, but his powerful shot comes back off his own team-mate, Amuzu!
15'
ANDERLECHT GETTING INTO GAME
The hosts are slowly growing into the game here after a slow start. They are working it well, but are being let down by the final pass into the danger area.
12'
CORNER!
Anderlecht win a corner, as Verschaeren does well before trying to get the cross in from the left, but it comes off Lanzini.
Unfortunately, Verschaeren's resulting set-piece is poor, as it goes over everyone and behind for a throw-in on the other flank.

EASY SAVE!
Bowen plays a nice through ball for Benrahma ahead of him. The Algerian takes a touch to set himself before trying to bend the ball into the far corner from inside the D, but the strike is not clean and Van Crombrugge makes an easy save to hold the ball.
6'
WEST HAM LOOK LIVELY
The Hammers have started well here, and are getting into some good areas down the right in particular.
Moyes seems to have opted for the back three tonight, with Coufal and Emerson providing the width.
3'
GOOD BLOCK!
Bowen makes a great run down the right byline, carrying the ball at least 20-yards. He then exchanges a neat give-and-go with Coufal, who is inverted, before the attacker sends a cross into the centre, but Hoedt is there to make a block before clearing it.

KICK-OFF!
We are underway here in Brussels
17:40
PLAYERS ARE OUT ONTO THE PITCH
Both teams are out onto the pitch here at Lotto Park as the competition anthem is played. Kick-off is moments away!
17:35
PLAYER TO WATCH: FABIO SILVA
The on-loan Wolves striker will be the dangerman for Anderlecht tonight. The forward has contributed seven goals and two assists so far for his new club, and the West Ham backline will have to remain vigilant.
17:30
WARM-UPS UNDERWAY!
The West Ham players get their warm-ups underway here as the atmosphere starts to build. It is predicted to be a sell-out here tonight at Lotto Park.
17:20
STASSIN ON THE BENCH FOR ANDERLECHT
17-year-old prospect Lucas Stassin gets his first call-up into Anderlecht's matchday squad for this big game. It certainly will be a big moment for the young forward.
17:15
SOME TRIVIA
These two sides met back in the 1976 European Cup Winners' Cup Final in Brussels, with Anderlecht coming out on top 4-2 to lift the trophy.
West Ham club legends Billy Bonds and Trevor Brooking both were in the starting line-up that day for the Hammers.

Anderlecht
ANDERLECHT IN POOR DOMESTIC FORM
Despite Anderlecht's solid start in this competition, they have been in indifferent form in the Belgian First Division, as they sit in 10th place with just 13 points from their ten league matches.
17:05
TONIGHT'S VENUE
Anderlecht have collected four points from their opening two Group B matches, and currently sit in second place. A win tonight would see them leapfrog West Ham into top spot.
Meanwhile, for the Hammers, they have won both of their group games so far, but it wasn't without difficulties against FCSB and Silkeborg.
