Hello and welcome to live coverage of West Ham v Stoke from the London Stadium. It’s a huge game for West Ham and an even bigger one for Stoke. Kick off is at 8pm and we’ll have team news shortly.

Any predictions? I'm going for a desperate, entertaining 2-2 draw.

If you're a Stoke fan who believes in omens, look away now.

All eyes will be on Marko Arnautovic, the former Stoke forward who has been in Zlatanic form for West Ham in recent months. He has a showman's temperament, so you wouldn't be surprised if he scored against his old club. He got the second goal in December when West Ham won the return fixture 3-0.

Stoke are running out of time. They are six points behind Swansea in 17th place and surely need a win tonight to have a realistic chance of staying up.

A win tonight would take West Ham to 37 points. They have a tough run-in but that would surely be enough to ensure survival.

West Ham are unchanged from the team that drew 1-1 at Chelsea. Stoke make one change from the side that lost at home to Tottenham Hotspur, with Kurt Zouma replacing Glen Johnson.
