Hello and welcome to live coverage of West Ham United vs Swansea City. It's England vs Wales. It's Phil Brown's mentor vs Brian Laurdrup's brother.

That's it, full time, and Swansea are in trouble. So are West Ham, but they have reasons to be optimistic should Andy Carroll get his act together for more than one match at a time.

West Ham are defending well, still, but the blame for the lack of goals is purely with Swansea. They have had a man advantage for half an hour and done nothing with it. Another Swansea cross is cleared.

Swansea have got no ideas at all.

Hernandez is in the box, using neat control to get through to goal, but he's offside. There are four minutes of added time.

Nocerino drives forward, lays the ball off to the left. And now West Ham play the ball up to McCartney in the corner to waste as much time as he can, conceding a throw as he's crowded out. Swansea are playing keep ball in their own half!

Adrian claims another high ball. If Swansea had 1,000,000 more crosses, they would probably score from two or three of them, at most.

A Swansea corner, their tenth of the match, and it's headed away by Cole. This is dire stuff from Swansea.

Pozuelo runs towards the byline and then... fails to cross. The ball running out of play. Nocerino comes on to replace Nolan.

Another cross from Swansea is headed clear. And another. And another. This time for a Swansea corner, taken by Routledge, which drifts clear, and then another cross is blocked.

Swansea have only won one of their last nine games, with Cardiff on the horizon. They could be in trouble sooner than next season at this rate.

Bony attempts an overhead kick, which is miles wide.

Guy Demel receives a Carlton Cole lay off, and his cross is straight at Tremmel.

Another cross for Swansea, wasted as it drifts behind. I've just noticed that Laurdrup has an asymmetric pattern on his jacket. Is that a tactical move, or a bad omen?

West Ham take their time taking a throw in, and should be booked for timewasting.

Collins heads behind the first corner. The second corner is cleared only halfway to their own half. Another cross from Pozuelo finds Bony, who volleys over.

Winston Reid is cheered onto the the pitch as he replaces Matt Taylor, having been out injured since November.

Carlton Cole can't control a high ball and Swansea press. A cross is cleared by Noble, as is another from De Guzman. This is witless from Swansea. Pozuelo wins a corner off Guy Demel. It should have been a goal kick.

Dyer is swapped for Ngog.

Cole is penalised for a push on Flores. He gets booed again.

Swansea attack down the right, play the ball intricately into the box and inevitably aren't good enough to succeed and West Ham clear for a throw.
