Southampton - West Ham United live updates

CHANCE: Southampton break and it opens up for Downing but his shot is deflected over for a corner that Saints clear.

CHANCE! Mane feeds Pelle but he completely miskicks a great chance and Adrian collects.

Looks like a bit of vaseline has done the trick and he is continuing like that for the time being.

Yoshida is the last person Southampton want to lose. He may have to go off and have some stitches in that though.

Well that was a very high foot and it’s left Yoshida bleeding from just under his eye. A nasty one.

Foul by Cole on Yoshida and now he goes into the book for a high foot.

A clumsy looking challenge from Elia on Amalfitano. Free kick. Still lacking any inspiration from either side. Lifeless. The whistles have started already.

Reed looks for Pelle but good defending from Kouyate who reads it very well and is quickly across.

Perhaps a tactical change for Jarvis to get a few more telling balls into the box for Cole or Carroll to get on the end of, should the latter come on.

We’re back underway here at St Mary’s . Hopefully some more entertainment for you in the second half. Jarvis on for Valencia.

STAT: Southampton and Chelsea have kept the most clean sheets in the PL this season (11). Southampton need four more to equal the club record set last season for most clean sheets in a single PL campaign (15).

HALF TIME: Southampton 0-0 West Ham United

One added minute here at the end of a lifeless first half.

Davis strides towards goal and lets fly. It clearly takes a deflection away for a corner off Cresswell but a goal kick is given. More frustration.

Valencia goes for goal and it’s his teammate Amafitano that actually prevents it from going on target. Another waste.

Now Fonte penalised for blocking a cross on the edge of the box and he goes into the book. Close to a penalty but a chance for the visitors.

Good skill from Valencia but he tries one trick too many and is penalised for a foul on Clyne.
