    Stoke 0-0 West Ham

    West Ham have had 63% so far and passed it around nicely but done very little with it.

    Sleepy stuff.

    Stoke 0-0 West Ham

    Liverpool have gone one down at West Brom while it's definitely off at Old Trafford.

    If West Ham win or draw today and overtake Manchester United, they still won't know where they'll finish.

    At the Britannia, Angelo Ogbonna barges into Jonathan Walters and sends the striker to the floor. Takes some doing that.

    Stoke 0-0 West Ham

    Very sleepy start at Stoke, a Jonathan Walters cross offering easy catching practice for Hammers keeper Darren Randolph. 

    The Potters hammered Liverpool 6-1 on this day last year. Early days but little sign of such excitement today.

    Stoke 0-0 West Ham

    Marko Arnaoutovic is brought down by Geoff Whelan, meaning a free-kick and another set-piece opportunity but Stoke can't make it count. 

    At Old Trafford there are reports the match has been called off after police identified a suspect package. No official announcement yet though.

    Stoke 0-0 West Ham

    Manuel Lanzini weaves and feints his way into the penalty area, cutting in from the left, but eventually his shot is blocked. 

    At the other end, Stoke win a corner but nothing comes of it.

    Stoke 0-0 West Ham

    There's already some drama at Old Trafford and the game has not kicked off yet. 

    The Stretford End and the Sir Alex Ferguson Stand have been evacuated and there is a delay to the kick-off between Manchester United and Bournemouth.  

    Back at the Britannia, not much to report so far. Aaron Creswell has gone down injured without anyone else near him. The physio is on for treatment.

    With Manchester United, Southampton and Liverpool's games all potentially having an influence on where West Ham finish and European qualification, we'll also keep you updated with what's happening in those games.

    Can't say fairer than that.

  11. 'West Ham out for top-six finish'published at 14:56

    Stoke v West Ham (15:00 BST)

    Martin Fisher
    MOTD commentator at the Britannia

    "Tuesday's victory over Manchester United on such an emotional night kept West Ham firmly on course to kick off life at the Olympic Stadium with European football.

    "A win at Stoke will secure a top-six finish and with it a place in next season's Europa League.

    "Slaven Bilic will be determined to have some tangible reward from such a memorable season.

    "Mark Hughes will be frustrated by his side's decline over the last couple of months which killed off their own European challenge, but three points from this one could see Stoke finish in ninth for the third successive season."

  12. A kit crime?published at 14:54

    John Edwards definitely does not like seeing new kits on the final day of the season.

    Stoke v West Ham (15:00 BST)

    How do we feel about new kits being worn on the final day of the season? Almost a tradition now but should they be saved for the start of the following season?

    I say they should. 

    Anyway, not a lot you can do with a Stoke kit. Red and white stripes. Is this the last time Peter Crouch will wear one?

    Austrian forward Marko Arnautovic has netted 11 league goals this season and needs one more to become Stoke's leading scorer in a single campaign since they were returned to the top fight in 2008-09.

  16. Europa League play-off for Hammers?published at 14:45

    Stoke v West Ham (15:00)

    West Ham and Liverpool could face a play-off to determine who qualifies for the Europa League.

    The Hammers lie sixth in the Premier League before the final round of matches, while Liverpool are eighth.

    The Reds also play Sevilla in the Europa League final knowing that a win there would secure a Champions League place.

    If they have to qualify for Europe through the league, there is a scenario that has both them and West Ham level on points, goal difference and goals scored.

    It's very complicated. But explained here...

    For Stoke, what has generally been another excellent season has tailed off quite significantly in recent weeks.

    The Potters are winless in six league matches and have gone four home matches without a victory.

    And they haven't kept a clean sheet in their last nine in the league.

    However, a victory over West Ham could secure them a ninth-place finish, if Leicester do them a favour at Chelsea. 

    Can they put a smile on the face of put-upon manager Mark Hughes?

    Before more previews, the teams...

  20. A Hammers hangover?published at 14:33

    It was a night of high emotion as West Ham said goodbye to their home of 114 years on Tuesday.

    Despite dominating the game and creating most of the chances, Slaven Bilic's side trailed 2-1 to Manchester United with less than 15 minutes to go.

    However, two towering headers in the space of four minutes from Michail Antonio and Winston Reid gave them the victory they richly deserved.

    Then followed the most elaborate and extraordinary send-off for a stadium, in this country at least.

    Will there be a hangover today?
