GOAL - Southampton 1-1 West Hampublished at 14 mins
Andy Carroll (West Ham)
Well, that didn't last long. The Hammers immediately make things level with Andy Carroll's fourth goals in four games.
It comes after a lovely pass through from Pedro Obiang, who splits the Southampton defence. Carroll is a man in good form and he confidently slots the ball past Fraser Forster. And we are level.

Manolo Gabbiadini (Southampton)
What a way to announce yourself to the club.
Manolo Gabbiadini, 10 minutes into his debut after a £14m move from Napoli, has put Southampton ahead.
A lofted ball over the top of a high West Ham defence is played into space, but Gabbiadini has timed his run perfectly to breach the offside trap.
Gabbiadini runs into the penalty area and blasts the ball home left-footed from a tight angle into the roof of the net.

Southampton 0-0 West Ham
A bright opening to this game. Immediately after Carroll's missed chance, Saints' returning James Ward-Prowse shoots from the edge of the box but it is straight at Darren Randolph.

Southampton 0-0 West Ham
West Ham having a lot of the early possession. Robert Snodgrass, in his first start for the club, is on his left wing, but the first chance comes from the right side.
Sofiane Feghouli flights in a lovely cross to the back post and Andy Carroll rises well six yards from goal but, under pressure, he cannot keep the header down. A good move, a good start and a good opportunity for the Hammers.

"Two great goalkeepers," says Slaven Bilic. The stats don't back that up.

Southampton v West Ham (15:00 GMT)
West Ham boss Slaven Bilic has today gone with Darren Randolph in between the sticks as he and Adrian have been battling to be the Hammers goalkeeper throughout the season.
Before today, Randolph had started 12 Premier League games, one more than Adrian. But will both be replaced in the summer by England goalkeeper Joe Hart? Speculation says it is possible, Bilic says no, apparently.
The Croat said: "On one hand I rate Joe Hart highly, he's a great goalkeeper and a great personality. But on the other hand I said in every transfer window if there is one position that we are not even thinking about changing that's the goalkeeping position.
"I already have two great goalkeepers so that is not the case, no."

Mark Lawrenson
Former Liverpool defenderJust as they did in the FA Cup a few weeks ago, West Ham made it easy for Manchester City on Wednesday - and paid the price.
Southampton also come into this game on the back of a poor result, losing to struggling Swansea on Tuesday, but I think they will be much improved here.

Puel hopes to stop Carroll servicepublished at 14:49 Greenwich Mean Time 4 February 2017
Southampton v West Ham (15:00 GMT)
Southampton boss Claude Puel believes stopping Andy Carroll will be crucial to his side's chances of beating West Ham today.
"It's difficult to stop him because he is so strong and we know his quality," said the Frenchman.
"It's important to win duels with good presence around the second ball, and always to defend with good cover. But we should not just try to win those duels. We need a good work habit and not to get just one player in duels.
"The most important thing is to keep the ball. If we keep the ball they cannot play it long or make crosses. We know this team, they have come back well in the table lately. They are a good opponent with confidence and we have to play a strong game."

So this is how they stand in the Premier League with both sides wedged firmly in the middle of the table. A top half place is on offer for the winners.
'An interesting tussle'published at 14:45 Greenwich Mean Time 4 February 2017
Southampton v West Ham (15:00 GMT)
John Motson
Match of the Day commentator"This is an interesting tussle between two teams that are in the bottom half of the table after a season blighted by inconsistency so far.
"All eyes will be on Jose Fonte on his return to St Mary's just weeks after giving up the captain's armband at Southampton and moving to West Ham.
"Saints fans will be cursing his departure even more now that his former central defensive partner Virgil van Dijk faces a lengthy spell on the sidelines.
"They have been boosted, though, by the arrival of striker Manolo Gabbiadini, who should invigorate an attack that has struggled slightly without the injured Charlie Austin, while West Ham will be hoping Robert Snodgrass can help make up for the departure of Dimitri Payet."
