Perth Glory vs West Ham LIVE!
The Hammers play the first game of their Australia tour today with a clash against A-League side Perth. A good crowd is expected at the 65,000-seater future Ashes venue the Optus Stadium for an intriguing match-up Down Under.
David Moyes has no new signings to put through their paces in this early morning pre-season friendly for UK viewers, although the exit of Declan Rice - confirmed before kick-off - should herald a flurry of transfer activity to rejuvenate the West Ham squad ahead of another European campaign.
Therefore, the main interest for the Hammers fans will be the first-team stars such as Jarrod Bowen, Kurt Zouma and wantaway star Gianluca Scamacca getting more minutes under their belt, plus a host of young players strutting their stuff. Divin Mubama, Freddie Potts and Kamarai Swyer all hope to play a part. Don’t miss a kick with Standard Sport’s dedicated LIVE matchday blog below!
