West Ham vs Southampton preview: Premier League starting XIs, prediction, live stream and highlights
West Ham face Southampton at London Stadium today in a key clash in their bid for Premier League survival.
David Moyes' 18th-placed Hammers have now gone eight matches without a win across all competitions and sit one point adrift of safety, though were unfortunate to return empty-handed from Monday night's trip to Liverpool.
Here’s what you need to know ahead of the match…
Possible starting XIs
West Ham (4-2-3-1): Fabianski; Ngakia, Diop, Ogbonna, Cresswell; Rice, Noble; Snodgrass, Fornals, Anderson; Antonio
Southampton (4-4-2): McCarthy; Ward-Prowse, Stephens, Bednarek, Bertrand; Armstrong, Smallbone, Hojbjerg, Djenepo; Long, Ings
Expert view: Alan Smith
"Anyone at Anfield must have wondered how West Ham have ended up in this predicament.
"I certainly did after commentating on a game the visitors might actually have won had Lukasz Fabianski not suffered a stinker.
"All their good work, however, will count for nothing if the team can’t use that performance as a launching pad.
"Ten points ahead of their hosts and very nearly safe, Southampton’s attitude will play a big part.
"But looking at the Hammers’ fixtures, a win here is vital, what with Arsenal, Wolves, Spurs and Chelsea lining up next."
