Team News

West Ham
Southampton
  • January signing Tomas Soucek is out for three weeks in a blow to West Ham's bid to beat the drop.
  • Pablo Fornals came off the bench to score against Liverpool on Monday and will hope to be rewarded with a start here.
  • Michail Antonio has leapfrogged Sebastien Haller in the pecking order as West Ham's first choice striker.
  • 19-year-old Jeremy Ngakia has made two appearances this season, both against Liverpool, and will hope to continue at right-back here.
  • A calf injury kept Kyle Walker-Peters out against Aston Villa last weekend but he is back and should allow James Ward-Prowse to return to central midfield.
  • 20-year-old William Smallbone was a surprise starter for Southampton last weekend but is expected to drop out of the team here.
  • Sofiane Boufal was fit enough to make the bench against Villa in a boost for the away side.

Prediction

  • Individual errors cost West Ham against Liverpool on Monday as they slipped to a 3-2 defeat at Anfield. The Hammers are now winless in seven league games and start the weekend one point adrift of relegation.
  • Southampton ended a two-game losing streak with a win over Aston Villa last weekend. They are 10 points clear of West Ham and the relegation zone and are remarkably only five points off Wolves in eighth.
  • West Ham have won the last four matches between the two sides but it would be somewhat surprising if they prolonged that run given their current form against Southampton's. Southampton also have the fifth best away form in the league this season, picking up 20 of their 34 points on the road.
