    West Ham 0-2 Liverpool

    West Ham's body language is awful.

    Manuel Lanzini gives the ball away and throws his hands in the air.

    Strikers Javier Hernandez and Andre Ayew turn back and slowly drag themselves back onside, making no attempt to chase the ball back.

    I predict a few boos at half-time.

    Liverpool have set the gauge at 55 mph and flicked the cruise-control switch.

    Easy. Sitting back, relaxing and puffing on their vapes.

    Tony in London: No more excuses. Bilic isn't good enough for the Premier League.

    Mark from Manchester: Liverpool’s difference? Mane is in the team. It psychologically lifts them...

    Duncan in Isleworth: Take out the big six clubs and there really is a lot of dross in this Premier League.

    Mark Noble has had a stinker so far and the West Ham skipper now receives a booking for simulation.

    That's diving to me and you.

    In fact, Slaven Bilic is the same too.

    Neither manager taking too much notice of the white markings they are supposed to stay inside.

    Almost 12 v 12.

    Not as though the technical areas at the London Stadium are small - probably the biggest in the division.

    Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp out of his technical area, directing traffic and almost on the pitch when West Ham are in possession.

    Might want to watch his step or the referee will send him packing to the stands.

    West Ham 0-2 Liverpool

    Liverpool happy to play keep-ball now, popping it off to each other and West Ham have to come out now.

    They were playing five at the back at the start of this game, but that will need re-working.

    Liverpool are on it now, full of confidence.

    Roberto Firmino curls in a cross from the left and it is begging to be flicked home, but ends up landing into the grateful hands of West Ham goalkeeper Joe Hart.

    There were just two minutes and 37 seconds between Liverpool's two goals.

    West Ham have a mountain to climb and co-owner David Gold does not look impressed, watching on from the stands.

    Quickfire double.

    Slow start but this game has burst into life.

    Liverpool get a corner after their first goal and it is swung in my Mohamed Salah. Mark Noble's attempted clearance ends up being a shot at his own goal and Joe Hart has to react sharply to save.

    In comes Joel Matip to slot home the rebound, the easiest finish of his life.

    The Reds are burying West Ham.

    Mohamed Salah

    Devastating.

    Mohamed Salah collects the corner which is cleared by a team and flicks it on to Sadio Mane.

    Liverpool have three on one on the counter.

    Mane uses his speed to race to the edge of the box, feeds in his buddy Salah, who coolly tucks in past Joe Hart.

    11 goals for the Egyptian since signing from Roma in the summer.

    There was a very interesting reaction from Andre Ayew after hitting the post a little earlier. He turned to the hard-core section of home support in the lower tier - the section which stands for 90 minutes - and urged them to make more noise, arms wheeling around in encouragement. The place responded. Good start by West Ham.

    Former Liverpool front man Andy Carroll has trotted out to the side of the pitch to warm up but Javier Hernandez seems OK to carry on.
