Hello everyone and a Happy New Year! The first Premier League fixture of 2016 gets underway in 45 minutes, with West Ham hosting Liverpool, and you can follow it LIVE right here. Team news to follow in a moment...

Moreno claiming he should have been awarded a free-kick in the build up to the goal. He's telling the referee that he failed to blow for a foul by the goalscorer on him... but Moreno is wrong. It was a clean tackle.

GOAL! West Ham 1-0 Liverpool: Antonio heads the Hammers in front! It's a brilliant ball in from Valencia from the right and Antonio throws himself at the ball and sends his diving header in from close range.

Can is a powerhouse in midfield, winning all of his early tackles.

West Ham struggling to get into this, Liverpool look comfortable.

Liverpool have made the brighter start here. That chance has given the travelling fans plenty to cheer about in the early stages. West Ham yet to really wake up.

CLOSE! Ibe flashes a shot across the face of the West Ham goal from 20 yards, and it whistles inches wide of the far post.

Liverpool, in all white today, are shooting from left to right.

KICK OFF. We're underway!

We're five minutes from kick-off at Upton Park, which gives you just enough time to follow me on Twitter. You can find me right here:

A couple of pre-match stats for you... West Ham have won two of their last three meetings with Liverpool, including the reverse fixture in August, which they won 3-0 at Anfield - their first league win there since 1963. The Hammers last did the double over Liverpool in the 1963-64 season... Meanwhile, Liverpool have won on seven of their last 10 visits to Upton Park, with the Hammers winning the other three.

Liverpool coach Jurgen Klopp has shuffled his line-up for the game, with Jordan Ibe and Lucas starting instead of Jordan Henderson and Adam Lallana.

Tilt your head and you'll see it's Payet.

The big news as far as West Ham in concerned is that Dimitri Payet returns from injury and is part of the match day squad for the first time since getting injured in early November against Everton. He starts on the bench while Andy Carroll gets the nod up front.
