Leandro Trossard had an effort saved a minute ago and that was Brighton's first shot on target (according to Opta).

West Ham replace one of their big-money EFL signings with another as Said Benrahma comes on for Jarrod Bowen. Benrahma looks good whenever I see him.

Alireza Jahanbakhsh flicks the ball into the path of Pascal Gross, whose shot is blocked. Then the offside flag goes up anyway.

West Ham would be five points off the top four with two games to go if they don't win this.

Jesse Lingard and Declan Rice play about three one-twos on the edge of the box after good wing play by Michail Antonio. Eventually Lingard shoots and it's over the bar.

West Ham really need to score here if they want to keep alive their top-four dreams.

Brighton are yet to have a shot on target, say our data providers - who I suspect have counted those two Alireza Jahanbakhsh efforts stopped by Lukasz Fabianski as attempted crosses instead of shots.

Alireza Jahanbakhsh goes close again for Brighton! He runs onto a long ball which Aaron Cresswell then heads into his path and shoots from the side of the box with Lukasz Fabianski miles off his line. Luckily for the Pole the ball rolls just wide of the far post.

Three chances for Brighton in 60 seconds. Leandro Trossard has a shot blocked from the edge of the box, then Alireza Jahanbakhsh has another effort saved in the area and then Steven Alzate has a shot blcoked.

It's chance city now at the Amex as West Ham midfielder Tomas Soucek heads wide from a deep cross.

Probably Brighton's best chance of the game now. Alireza Jahanbakhsh runs onto a long ball over the top, cuts in and then has a shot blocked by Lukasz Fabianski's legs.

Danny Welbeck jumps in frustration in the centre - he wanted the pass.

Jarrod Bowen is in now for West Ham and his cross is deflected behind - although for one second it looked as if it might have been going in.

West Ham have a chance within 30 seconds of the restart as Michail Antonio wins the ball near the centre circle and charges towards the box but the ball is slightly bouncing as he slices his shot over.

The second half begins.

The players are in the tunnel. It's almost time for the second half.

West Ham need to win here to have any hope of a Champions League place really. Otherwise it's just about whether they can hang onto a European spot.

Roma are leading Lazio 1-0 in the Italian capital derby at the moment.

Henrikh Mkhitaryan (12 goals, 10 assists) is one of two players to have reached double figures in Serie A goals and assists this season. The other is Romelu Lukaku (23 goals, 10 assists).

The half-time whistle goes and it's goalless.

We're into one minute of stoppage time.

West Ham's best spell by a million miles. First of all there's a bit of pinball and Brighton escape and then Tomas Soucek hits an absolute thunderbolt from 20 yards which Robert Sanchez does well to parry.

Maybe the best chance of the game as Aaron Cresslwell brilliantly picks out Pablo Fornals but his shot is blocked.

Then there's a slight handball shout but VAR says no penalty.
