Hello and welcoe to live coverage of Hull City vs West Ham, and my struggle with a new keyboard. This is definitely going to go well for all parties concerned.

The match gets underway, and both sides will be nervous. If Sunderland win, they will leapfrog Hull into 15th place.

Here's a Brendan update. Five minutes until kick off.

I'm predicting a 1-1 scoreline. Feel free to tweet me what you're expecting.

A warning now - there will be no Adam Johnson jokes, so if you're the kind of pathetic man who's expecting them from me today, you'll have to go elsewhere. However, if you've a witty comment, then feel free to tweet me at @lxndrnthrtn. Just use your common sense.

Are you obsessed with the types of largesse that you'll never be able to indulge in? Then this story is for you.

While you wait for the action, while not read my review of the weekend here?

Gus Poyet: "It's up to us. The next two games will mark what is going to happen at the end of the season, and it's up to us to go and win both of them and then put some space between us and the bottom three. You can't always rely on the other results going for you. That's not the way to look forward."

Steve Bruce: "It is a pivotal game. Our better goal difference would mean it is the equivalent of five points and would give us a good cushion above the bottom three. Hull will need to add some firepower after failing to manage a shot on target against Stoke, but should have Nikica Jelavic back after he missed the last match with a flare-up of his nagging knee problem. We were disappointed with the whole team going forward against Stoke. I don't think we were adventurous enough, but I can't remember my keeper making a save either. It was one of those awful, horrible games where the paying public was probably bored out of their pants but that happens sometimes."
