FT
The referee blows for full-time and it is West Ham that are comfortably victorious. In a scrappy first half, the Hammers seized the initiative just before the break, when Andriy Yarmolenko curled home the opener. Seven minutes from time, Aaron Cresswell's free-kick ensured the points were safe for the hosts. We're back in action in three days time, as we host Rochdale in the Carabao Cup.

81 MINS
We make our third and final change, as we continue to search for a leveller. Angel Gomes replaces Juan Mata.
79 MINS
Another opportunity for the Reds. Dan James is played through on goal, but Fabianski is off his line to beat the Wales international to the ball. It then falls to Jesse Lingard, but the substitute's strike is blocked valiantly by West Ham's scorer, Yarmolenko.
74 MINS
Mark Noble wipes out Andreas Pereira and is shown a yellow card by Anthony Taylor. A pretty rash challenge from the West Ham veteran.
71 MINS
At the same time, Solskjaer makes his second substitution, bringing on Fred for Nemanja Matic.
71 MINS
Manuel Pellegrini brings on Jack Wilshere for Felipe Anderson, as the Hammers make their first alteration of the afternoon.
69 MINS
Another golden chance for the Reds to draw level! After a bit of pinball in the box from a corner, Lindelof plays it to Maguire, who lashes it at goal. Frustratingly, it's fired straight at Fabianski, who clears it behind for another corner, which West Ham clear. That could have been the moment.
62 MINS
A good save by De Gea. Yarmolenko plays in Anderson, who had made a well-timed run on the right. The Brazilian winger decides to have a shot from an acute angle, but our keeper gets down to block the shot and United eventually clear the danger.
61 MINS
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is forced into his first substitution of the afternoon. Rashford is off down the tunnel with an injury, and Jesse Lingard has come on in his place.
60 MINS
A moment of concern for United now, Marcus Rashford goes down off the ball. The replays show our striker pulling up after making a run into the box. It looks like Marcus won't be able to continue this afternoon. A hammer blow for the Reds
57 MINS
United continue to show some signs of urgency. Mata is played into the box, and the Spaniard plays it to McTominay. The midfielder has a shot, however his back is to goal and it falls to Fabianski.
48 MINS
So, so close to a perfect response for United. Matic plays the ball out wide to Periera, who delivers an inviting cross from the right. Mata meets it at the far post, however the Spaniard somehow can't divert it into the net. A golden chance goes begging for the Reds, however it is a bright start to the second half.
48 MINS
Juan Mata is the first United player to be booked, following a challenge on West Ham midfielder Declan Rice.
46 MINS
West Ham have only won two of their last 21 meetings against the Reds. United do hold a terrific record against them. Their only two wins were here last season and in the final game to be played at Upton Park in 2016.
45 MINS
Both teams are out and ready to go for the second half in east London. Neither side has made any changes during the interval. Hopefully the Reds can start on the front foot and get an early equaliser. Come on!
