Hello and welcome to Eurosport's coverage of Brighton and West Ham. I'm Ciaran Baynes and I'll be following the match with you.

Antonio plays the ball through to Fornals who touches the ball one side of Webster and runs around him but the Albion defenders come back to stop him getting a shot on target.

Chance for Antonio. Lingard picks him out at the far post but he can only loop his header back across goal and Brighton clear.

Trossard shoots from 20 yards but once more a defensive block stops it troubling Fabianski

Lingard races into the box and then falls into a heap but no penalty and Brighton clear the danger.

Lovely low ball from Cresswell which Antonio flicks at the front post but doesn't get a good contact and it flies across the goal.

Welbeck played the ball neatly back to Alzate 20 yards from goal but he saw his effort blocked.

Trossard crosses back into the box but Soucek puts the ball behind for a corner.

Bissouma goes into the box for another nibble at Lingard. Something old school about the lad Yves.

Fornals kicks the ball out as Lingard is down injured after being fouled by Bissouma.

Another nice ball from Jahanbakhsh but Welbeck just can't get on the end of it.

Jakanbakhsh puts through Gross on the right but his cross into the box is cleared.

An open and attractive game so far.

A good low cross from Fornals but no Hammer in the centre to turn it home.

West Ham get us underway...

It really couldn't be anymore after the Lord Mayor's show this match could it? Amazing to put it on after the Cup final - which seems especially true ater one with such an emotional win.

It will be interesting to see how Brighton come out tonight with no fear of relegation. Will they play their best football with a freedom or will the flip flops curb their intensity.

The Hammers are being backed into even money to win tonight, with Brighton a 5/2 shot.

Brighton are without key centre back Lewis Dunk and Ben White is likely to slide over to centre back alongside Adam Webster.

Declan Rice being back is a real fillip for the Hammers. Their chances of a top four spot look all but gone six points behind Chelsea with an inferior goal difference but if there is a post-Cup Final dip from them or the Foxes they need to be there to take advantage.

And these are the Hammers who will take the field in a little over 50 minutes.

This is how the Seagulls will line up...
