Good evening and welcome to our live coverage of Cardiff City v West Ham United from the Cardiff City Stadium.

It’s a fascinating Championship clash under the lights tonight, with the Bluebirds looking to bounce back from Saturday’s disappointing 3-0 defeat at Wolves and continue their impressive home form.

There’s been plenty of drama in the West Ham camp ahead of kick-off, too, with Nuno Espirito Santo sacked following back-to-back home defeats and former Hammers midfielder Scott Parker appointed as his replacement on the day of the game.

The match will be on Sky Sports+ and will kick-off at 7.45pm. Scroll down for live updates…

Cardiff City XI: Trott; Ng, Fish, Bagan, Scanlon; Robertson, R. Colwill, Moylan; Tanner, Salech, Willock.

Subs: Tyrer, Turnbull, J. Colwill, Tankiewicz, Moreno, Kpakio, Ashford, Holt, Perrett.

‌

GOAL! Jack Moylan heads in from the corner! Bagan whips it towards the near post and his compatriot Moylan flicks it on before it crashes into the underside of the crossbar and into the back of the net. What a first half he’s having!

Another chance for Cardiff. Moylan slides through Yousef Salech and he is about to dink it over the ‘keeper, but Magassa slides in, in the nick of time, to put it out for a corner.

Jack Moylan slots home from the penalty spot! He whips it to Hermansen’s right and the goalkeeper goes the wrong way.

Penalty to Cardiff! Moylan hauled down by Morato!

Alex Robertson whips in a corner and Will Fish heads on goal – but it’s just over the bar.

Chris Willock finds Calum Scanlon on the overlap and the left-back chips Hermansen – who has to tip it over the bar!

Nathan Trott gathers a ball over the top as Manor Solomon looked to latch on to it.

Soungoutout Magassa smashes through Alex Robertson in midfield. Another yellow.

Cardiff break through Moylan and then Tanner, who feeds Rubin Colwill. Colwill nicks the ball around Max Kilman, who hauls the Wales international down. Edward Duckworth brandishes a yellow card for Kilman.

Will Fish has had a strong start, too, cutting out a pass through before trying to release Yousef Salech – but there’s just too much on it.

Ollie Tanner with excellent work rate there, getting in behind to cut out a dangerous through ball before playing back to Trott.

Will Fish with a ball over the top for Tanner again. Hermansen has to be brave coming out of his area to clear the danger!

A little breakaway from West Ham there but it’s good defending from the hosts to quell the attack. Impressive start from Cardiff but the Irons have looked threatening on the odd occasion they’ve gotten into City’s half.

GOAL! Wow what a hit from Jack Moylan!

Alex Robertson finds some space and finds an incisive pass to Moylan, who is around 25 yards from goal. He takes a touch towards the Hammers’ goal and then absolutely smashes one into the top corner. No stopping that!

Will Fish heads Bowen’s corner half clear.
Valentin Castellanos turns the subsequent cross on goal – but Nathan Trott flies to his right and saves well.
