Southampton vs West Ham

West Ham travel to Southampton on Thursday as they look to bounce back from their defeat to Watford.

West Ham had been on a fine run of form before Watford, winning their previous four league games.

However, they would lose 2-0 at home to Watford on Saturday.

The Hammers have now dropped down to 12th in the league but a win vs Southampton could see them move as high as 7th.

A win will not be easy to come by vs a revitalised Southampton though.

Ralph Hasenhuttl would pick up his first win as Southampton boss in a shock 3-2 win vs Arsenal.

Southampton would then go on to win their last game vs Huddersfield.

The Saints are now 16th in the league and could move up 15th with a win on Thursday.
