Not long to go until the break now, can either side break the deadlock before the halftime whistle?
38'

Hello and welcome to our LIVE match commentary of the Premier League clash between West Ham and Brighton and Hove Albion at the London Stadium.
The teams are out and kick-off is just a few minutes away, stay tuned for all of the match action!
The Hammers grew into the game but haven't carved out many chances, their best chance falling to Anderson but his weak shot was straight at Button. Whilst Arnautovic has also forced the Seagulls keeper into making a good save, with a curling effort from the edge of the box, he's been the best attacking threat for the home side so far.
It's goalless at the break, with a rather uneventful first half of football at the London Stadium. Brighton have arguably been the better side, starting the game well by dominating possession and keeping the Hammers penned inside their own half, with Locadia having a good early chance to open the scoring. The visitors have looked dangerous at set pieces, winning most of their aerial challenges.
A point moves the Hammers up a place to 10th, with their next league game coming against Arsenal, after an FA Cup tie at home to Birmingham. Brighton remain in 13th position with this result, they have a tough couple of league games coming up, with Liverpool heading to the Amex, before the Seagulls travel to the Emirates to face Arsenal. However, before that they've got a trip to Bournemouth in the FA Cup on Saturday.
That's all from us today folks, we hope you enjoyed the game!
