Southampton welcome West Ham to St Mary’s in the Premier League this evening. 

The Saints made a terrific start to the season and even held a brief lead at the top of the table before a slight slump during the festive period. Ralph Hasenhutt’s side were very unlucky not to take all three points against 10-man Arsenal and then came unstuck against Man City before a disappointing goalless draw with Fulham.

West Ham have also defied expectations so far, with David Moyes engineering a remarkable recovery from last season’s turmoil. The Hammers have taken 22 points from their 15 games and sit one back of Southampton in 10th. Their heady progress has also slowed recently, however, with defeat against Chelsea sandwiched by draws with Crystal Palace and Brighton. 

Both sides will be hoping to kickstart another impressive run of form to reinvigorate their unlikely European pushes, although West Ham may feel they have something of an edge after coming out on top in the pair’s two league meetings last season.
