West Ham Form

West Ham are 17th in the Premier League and 14 points above the relegation zone. The Hammers are undefeated in four of their last seven league matches.

Graham Potter’s side comfortably beat relegation candidates Leicester 2-0 in late February. A five-match winless run followed with 1-0 losses to Newcastle and Wolves and draws against Everton 1-1 and Bournemouth 2-2.

The London side lost 2-1 at Liverpool on Sunday and had 4-6 shots on target. West Ham conceded first and equalised through an own goal before Liverpool scored an 89th-minute winner.

West Ham Injuries

Attacking duo Michail Antonio and Crysencio Summerville are injured and won’t make the squad.

Defender Aaron Cresswell is also sidelined due to injury.

Southampton Form

Ivan Juric’s Southampton have already been relegated from the 2024/25 Premier League. They have lost 26 of their 32 league games.

Southampton lost six consecutive matches from February to March and conceded 17 goals. The Saints stopped this run with a 1-1 home draw against Palace before losing 3-1 at Tottenham.

The south coast club lost 3-0 at home against Aston Villa last time out and allowed 3 XG. Juric’s side held out until the 72nd minute and conceded three late goals.

Southampton Injuries

Midfielder Albert Grønbæk and defender Charlie Taylor are unavailable with injuries.

Verdict

West Ham v Southampton

West Ham can end their winless run against a Southampton side that has struggled in the Premier League all season. The Sains are leaky at the back and the Hammers are tipped to win and score goals at the London Stadium.
