FIRST HALF - Finally, we have kick off as Stoke get us under way.
Welcome to bet365 Stadium for the match between Stoke City and West Ham United.
Stoke City have made their worst start to a Premier League season after 17 matches, only picking up 16 points as their return. They need a change of fortune and what better time than today? A win will have Stoke City climb the Premier League table to potentially 11th position, should all results fall in their favour.
West Ham United are sitting in 19th position, winless in their last four matches. They have won only one of their last sixteen away matches and have not won at this ground since 2013. Should West Ham United win today, they can climb as high as 14th position on the Premier League table.
TEAMS - STOKE CITY (4-4-2) STARTING XI - Butland (GK); Cameron, Shawcross, Wimmer, Pieters; Shaqiri, Fletcher, Allen, Ramadan Sobhi; Diouf, Crouch. SUBSTITUTES - Grant (GK), Berahino, Chuopo-Moting, Tymon, Adam, Ngoy, Edwards.
HALF TIME - The whistle sounds for half time and West Ham go into the half time break holding a 1-0 lead over Stoke City. Noble was the goal scorer, after the referee awarded a penalty, when Lanzini was brought down inside the box. It certainly has been a fast paced first half, but all is not lost for Stoke City, who showed glimpses of their best, late in the first half.
TEAMS - WEST HAM UNITED (3-4-3) STARTING XI - Adrian (GK); Ogbonna, Collins, Cresswell; Zabaleta, Obiang, Noble, Masuaku; Antonio, Lanzini, Arnautovic. SUBSTITUTES - Hart (GK), Sakho, Hernandez, Andre Ayew, Haksabanovic, Rice, Makasi.
It has been an eventful pre-match today at bet365 Stadium, with a power outage forcing a delayed kick off to the match. We will keep you updated as news comes to hand.
We have a confirmed new kick off time, which will be at 4PM local time.
FULL TIME - It's onwards and upwards for West Ham under David Moyes as they record a 3-0 win over Stoke City. Stoke City started the second half as a team reborn, looking to chase down West Ham, but eventually ran out of legs, as Arnautovic added to West Ham's first half lead, with a 75th minute goal. When Sakho found the back of the net in the 86th minute, it was all over. West Ham have recorded a thoroughly deserved win over Stoke City.
