Some brave defending from James Collins keeps the hosts ahead. A cross is played into the area, Leroy Fer lays it off and substitute Luciano Narsingh nearly makes an immediate impact.

Unluckily for him, Collins throws himself in front of the shot for a vital block.

An early chance at the start of the second half. West Ham's Andre Ayew produces some good work and the ball falls to Sam Byram, but from a tight angle, he can only shoot into the side netting.

Yullaw: I would rather watch West Ham vs Swansea than Real Madrid vs Athletico Madrid! Premier League football is much more intense.

Paul Clement needed to do something, and he has taken action. Fernando Llorente, who missed two games with an ankle injury, is on, as is Luciano Narsingh. Wayne Routledge and Tom Carroll are off.

It means Llorente goes up front, with Sigurdsson moving to the 'number 10' role.

If you haven't seen it already (or even if you have!), you can catch up with the best of the action from the FA People's Cup regional semi-finals here.

Here's a taster...

The Swansea Twitter account sums up a poor first first half from their team.

What a very good goal from Kouyate to separate the sides. It has lifted the place and gives Slaven Bilic a more comforting half-time team talk.

A lovely goal for the hosts. Mark Noble, 40 yards out, plays a pass into Robert Snodgrass, who produces a neat touch to give it to Cheikhou Kouyate.

The powerful midfielder is able to run at the Swansea defence and unleash a great low strike from 25 yards out which finds the bottom corner. A deserved lead for the Hammers.

Gylfi Sigurdsson's floated free-kick clears the wall but it does not have enough pace to cause West Ham's Darren Randolph any problems, and it is easily dealt with by the home goalkeeper.

Mark Noble is booked for conceding a foul on the edge of his own penalty area for a lunge on Leroy Fer.

Noble is unhappy that the game was not stopped after Michail Antonio sharply pulled up with what looks a hamstring injury.

Antonio's game is done, which is a big loss for the Hammers. Jonathan Calleri will come on to defend the free-kick.

Swansea have had more of the possession recently, but they have still not tested Darren Randolph.

They nearly have a chance when Jordan Ayew swings in a low cross from the right flank, but the ball is just ahead of Gylfi Sigurdsson.

Yet again West Ham are denied by Lukasz Fabianski. The ball is given away by Swansea defender Alfie Mawson and Mark Noble releases Andre Ayew.

He curls an effort at goal and it is going inside the post, before Fabianski, at full stretch, gets a hand to it to keep it out. Excellent stop.

The best moment of the game from Swansea. Jordan Ayew gets to the byeline and pulls a cross back into the area but James Collins is there at the front post to stab the ball clear.

Swansea fans need to see more from their side as an attacking force. Darren Randolph in the West Ham goal has hardly had a touch, with Swansea's Jordan Ayew and Gylfi Sigurdsson anonymous so far.

Another effort for West Ham. This time Manuel Lanzini wriggles free to shoot at goal from 25 yards, but the radar is a bit off and it goes over the bar.

So nearly the first goal of the game. Sam Byram gets down the right wing and crosses for Michail Antonio. He is able to dink the ball back into the middle and the delivery is met by a Robert Snodgrass header.

Luckily for Swansea, Lukasz Fabianski does well to get down quickly to save the close-range header on the goalline.

That would have been a first goal for West Ham for Snodgrass following his move from Hull during the January transfer window.

Not much from the visitors so far today. No shots, no corners, not much of the ball, but we're still goalless.

Another promising position for West Ham as Andre Ayew leads the charge on the right wing, but the final ball, chipped into the box, is wasted and easily gathered by Lukasz Fabianski.
