    Cardiff 2-0 West Ham

    The Hammers are still yet to have a shot on target.

    Their latest 'attack' sees Robert Snodgrass dance around the area and over hit a chipped ball for Javier Hernandez.

    Cardiff 2-0 West Ham

    West Ham have gone from bad to worse in this second half.

    They're hopelessly open at the back.

    WOW.

    Michail Antonio's first involvement is to launch a shot into Row Z. That left his foot like a rocket - too bad it's trajectory was near vertical.

    Leandro Bacuna comes on for Joe Bennett, who limps off.

    The way Cardiff have attacked this is brilliant. Their attitude and conduct has been ‘we have to win’ and they are playing like that

    Oooooh Cardiff go close again.

    First, Oumar Niasse is denied by a point-blank save from Lukasz Fabianski and then the Polish stopper saves Victor Camarasa's effort on the rebound.

    Manuel Pellegrini looks to shake things up.

    Manuel Lanzini and Mark Noble off. Michail Antonio and Samir Nasri on.

    Almost an unbelievable goal from Oumar Niasse.

    The Everton loanee rounds Issa Diop with ease and carries the ball into the area but he scuffs the shot.

    Victor Camarasa has been impressive today and now he's full of confidence.

    He fires a shot from range wide.

    Victor Camarasa tries to sneak one in at the near post but Declan Rice heads clear.

    The Bluebirds recycle possession and try again but the Hammers defend it well.

    Issa Diop hauls down Junior Hoilett but escapes without a booking.

    Cardiff have the chance to get a ball into the box via a set-piece.

    Harry Arter sees his name up in lights and pulls the trigger from 30 yards - but it's dragged horribly wide.

    He'll want to forget that one in a hurry.

    The Hammers have lost four of their last five away league games.

    Can Marko Arnautovic help stop the rot?

    West Ham get us back under way.

    Marko Arnautovic is on for Felipe Anderson. No injury - a tactical change.

    Especially pleasingly for Neil Warnock, it was Junior Hoilett and Josh Murphy - two players which returned to the starting XI today - who combined for the goal.

    HT: Cardiff 1-0 West Ham

    West Ham are yet to have a shot on target but they do have Marko Arnautovic waiting in the wings.

    The Austrian has been involved in 10 goals in his last 11 league games against newly-promoted sides.

    Could he be the man to make the difference?
