West Ham come into this game off the back of an excellent performance and result against Arsenal, but the positive mood has been overshadowed by the lack of clarity surrounding Marko Arnautovic’s future, who is being heavily linked with a move to China. Follow the live action below.

Player to watch…
Felipe Anderson: Slowly but surely, West Ham’s record signing is finding his feet in the Premier League. The 25-year-old is the club’s top scorer with eight goals, and his finishing has been exquisite. If Arnautovic is to leave this month, Anderson’s role in the Hammers’ attack will grow in importance.
