    Predictor

    Mark Lawrenson thinks this match will end in a 2-0 win for Sunderland.

    "West Ham have been brilliant away from home, so you might think this will be a straightforward victory. But football does not work like that, which is why we love it, and why I am going for a surprise result," reckons our football expert.

    Lee Cattermole was impressive last weekend despite the 3-0 defeat by Manchester United, and he is at his tigerish best today, already making five recoveries (yellow), three interceptions (blue), one tackle (green) and one clearance (purple).

    "They have linked up well, Fletcher and Borini. But Borini, what an opportunity to put that game to bed at 3-0."

    Sunderland 2-1 West Ham

    Terrific entertainment but Sunderland will be kicking themselves for conceding so late. Will that come back to haunt them?

    Would you believe it? West Ham's first serious threat and they have scored.

    Victor Moses runs rings around the Sunderland defence before pulling the ball back for Carl Jenkinson to hammer home.

    The mood immediately changes inside the Stadium of Light.

  6. YELLOW CARDpublished at 45 mins

    Sunderland 2-0 West Ham

    Lee Cattermole is booked. Surely not? The midfielder who can't resist a challenge goes in late on Dimitri Payet. That's five yellows but it's a competitive rather than a dirty game.

    Three minutes of added time.

  7. CLOSE!published at 44 mins

    Sunderland 2-0 West Ham

    Fabio Borini lines up another shot on the edge of the area...and it's just wide. One-way traffic. The Hammers are getting hammered.

  9. YELLOW CARDpublished at 42 mins

    Sunderland 2-0 West Ham

    In all that excitement there has been another yellow card.

    Aaron Cresswell is cautioned for a lunge on Jeremain Lens.

    It's 3-1 to West Ham on the yellow card count.

  10. CLOSE!published at 39 mins

    Sunderland 2-0 West Ham

    Huge miss by Fabio Borini. 

    Not for the first time, the Hammers defence is sliced wide open by a free-flowing home move and Borini only has the keeper to beat but stubs his effort agonisingly wide from 12 yards. 

    Will it prove costly?

    Newcastle lead at Manchester City... and it means Sunderland are back on the bottom of the 'as it stands' table. What happened to a bit of neighbourly love?

    Sunderland 2-0 West Ham

    First Sunderland booking and it's goalscorer Jeremain Lens, who is in trouble for colliding with Aaron Cresswell.

    "It's very surprising after the results West Ham have had on the road. They've not started very well at all today."  

  15. GREAT SAVE!published at 32 mins

    Sunderland 2-0 West Ham

    Sunderland are unrecognisable...and the home fans are loving it.

    Fabio Borini tees up another chance for Steven Fletcher, whose shot is deflected behind before Adrian produces a fine save to keep out John O'Shea from the corner.

    The Hammers are all over the place.

  16. Easy for Fletcherpublished at 30 mins

    Sunderland 2-0 West Ham

    Steven Fletcher's goal looks pretty simple in its execution, but he ran from deep and was helped by a nice blocking run by Sunderland team-mate John O'Shea. It was a nice finish.

  17. YELLOW CARDpublished at 28 mins

    Sunderland 2-0 West Ham

    West Ham are not only being taken apart, they are also losing their discipline.

    Winston Reid is booked for a cynical challenge on the impressive Steven Fletcher.

  18. 'Terrible defending'published at 15:27 British Summer Time 3 October 2015

    Graeme Le Saux
    Former England defender on Final Score

    "Terrible defending by West Ham, Payet gave the ball away and Lens poached the ball, got to the edge of the box and dinked the ball over the goalkeeper. A lovely delicate finish."

    Sunderland 2-0 West Ham

    West Ham are masters of their own downfall. That goal came as a result of an error by Dimitri Payet.

    What. A. Goal.

    Sublime finish from Jeremain Lens as the Dutch forward beats Adrian with a sublime chip from the edge of the area following Yann M'Vila's through-ball.

    Wonderful technique.
