The Seagulls carry on where they left off in the first half.

Solly March sees a dangerous cross turned behind before Shane Duffy tries his luck from range.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, the centre-back's effort goes harmlessly wide.

The second 45 minutes are under way

Manuel Pellegrini makes one change at half-time; Michail Antonio comes on for Jack Wilshere.

I think Graham Potter will be the happier of the managers at the break.

Manuel Pellegrini may well be looking to his bench for inspiration if he wants to turn the tide in this one.

Aaaaand there it is.

Brighton just about shade the first 45 minutes and there's not too much to report other than Leandro Trossard's goal which was overturned by VAR.

It's petering out a little bit now.

I think both sides want to hear the half-time whistle now.

Wow. What was I saying about Declan Rice?

The ball falls to him on the edge of the box and the England man half-volleys it high into the stands.

Declan Rice looks an assured presence in the Hammers' engine room.

You can see why a number of big clubs were reportedly after him this summer.

Martin Montoya finds a bit of space on the right and fires a cross into the body of Arthur Masuaku.

But on closer inspection the ball appears to strike Masuaku's arm as he turns his back - the West Ham full-back walks off sheepishly.

Lucasz Fabianski beats away the resulting corner.

West Ham are yet to have a shot on goal while the hosts have taken seven.

Luke Caine: Are West Ham top of the league for opponent goals disallowed after VAR review?

A moment of quality from West Ham's Pablo Fornals as he slides in Javeir Hernandez with a delightful outside-of-the-boot pass.

But Lewis Dunk is there to clear it away before the Mexican can take it under his control.

Another good moment for the hosts as Dan Burn turns his man and whips in a ball for Glenn Murray to attack.

Buuut the flags up for offside as Murray heads over the bar.

The home crowd seem a little stunned by that one.

It's certainly dampened their spirits.

Leandro Trossard sees a debut goal ruled out.

It's the correct decision but Brighton will no doubt feel hard done by.

VAR intervention!

It looks as though Dan Burn was offside from the initial ball into the box meaning Brighton's opener is ruled out!

The hosts are really enjoying a good spell now.

Solly March is the latest Brighton player to try his luck - Lucazs Fabianski gets two strong hands to beat away his effort from the edge of the area.

Shane Duffy wins the header from the resulting corner but Lucasz Fabianski easily claims it.

Lukazs Fabianski is forced to make a decent save to tip Dale Stephens' swerving effort from 25 yards out.

However, as I type that Brighton see two efforts blocked on the edge of the area - first from Pascal Gross and then from Dale Stephens.
