    That is Jesse Lingard's last action of the game and he comes off.

    A superb showing from the on-loan Manchester United man who looks back to near is best.

    West Ham then go hunting for a third, Tomas Soucek finding Jesse Lingard inside the area, but the shot is blocked by John Egan.

    Nope, nope.

    Another save for Lukasz Fabianski to make but again it's a comfortable one, plucking Oli McBurnie's header out of the air.

    10 to go.

    The hosts in total control, keeping their shape and fizzing the passes into each other when they have the ball.

    Bayern Munich v West Ham next season, anyone?

    It should be three.

    West Ham are in again, this time it's Vladimir Coufal who is one-on-one with Aaron Ramsdale, but does not look confident at all and his low shot is brilliantly kept out by the Sheffield United goalkeeper from close range.

    Tom Hosier: Good to see the David Moyes that was successful at Everton is back!

    PRK: West Ham are in the top 4 in February ahead of Liverpool. Let that sink in.

    West Ham man Jesse Lingard is brimming with confidence, wants the ball and is looking to make something happen for his side.

    He is in acres of space in a pocket outside the box, but a rasping shot is pushed out by Aaron Ramsdale.

    It is going to be one of those days for Sheffield United.

    Ben Osborn curls in an inviting cross to the edge of the six yard box for the incoming David McGoldrick, but the Blades striker's header down is gathered by Lukasz Fabianski.

    Less gold and more lead today.

    Now Oli McBurnie is on, he has been waiting since the 48th minute.

    The West Yorkshireman replaces Oliver Norwood.

    West Ham make a change too, Mark Noble replacing the impressive Manuel Lanzini.

    Another Sheffield United chance but they just cannot find the net - it has been a problem for much of the season.

    David McGoldrick is found in the box and swings a left boot at the ball, but Tomas Soucek makes a brilliant block in the nick of time.

    Sheffield United looking to claw their way back into the contest but Chris Basham's header from 10 yards out is easy pickings for Lukasz Fabianski.

    Jesse Lingard, a man rejuvenated and it is great to see.

    The on-loan Red Devil picks the ball up on the left and makes a jinking run into the box, no Blades defender can stop him but get back just in time to halt the run by the byeline.

    Aaron Cresswell take a bow, it's all about the pace on the cross. Ben Osborn tries to block Diop but it's no match, Osborn is pointless there, he's not going to beat Diop in the air.

    GOAL - West Ham 2-0 Sheffield Unitedpublished at 58 mins

    Issa Diop

    Lead doubled.

    From the corner which is whipped in beautifully by Aaron Cresswell, towering centre-half Issa Diop outmuscles Ethan Ampadu to flick home a header towards the far corner of the net.

    Sheffield United missed a chance to equalise five minutes ago and is has proved very costly indeed.

    At the other end, Manuel Lanzini has been excellent today and the Argentine finds the run of Jarrod Bowen but the ex-Hull man is forced away from goal and his shot is blocked.

    Great stop from Lukasz Fabianski!

    Skipper Billy Sharp dinks a cross to the edge of the six yard box for David McGoldrick and it looks like he is planting a header into the roof of the net, but his effort takes a nick off Ben Johnson and the West Ham goalkeeper shows superb reactions to tip the ball over the bar.
