Around 20 minutes to go until kick off at the terribly-named London Stadium, perhaps the biggest talking point is that Sergio Aguero has been left out of the Man City starting line up, with new boy Gabriel Jesus getting the start ahead of him. At the other end of the pitch, Willy Caballero is also preferred to Claudio Bravo in the battle of the slightly unreliable South American keepers.

West Ham 0 Man City 0: And we're off... For fans of BT Sport's revolving door of dodgy co-commentators tonight sees arguably the pick of the bunch, Owen Hargreaves and his baffling accent.

West Ham 0 Man City 0: Scrappy start so far, but West Ham are the first side to cause their opponents some trouble, pumping the ball up to Andy Carroll who's header on finds its way to Antonio although he can only scuff off a fairly tame shot that is easily saved.
