On Sunday West Ham take to the pitch at the London Stadium to face Southampton, a side that has had a mixed start to the season.
West Ham will be looking to get their season back on track with a convincing win however the Saints could prove to be tricky customers.
Last season both these teams were very well matched with Southampton finishing sixth and West Ham seventh.
In West Ham’s last Premier League game, they lost emphatically to West Brom 4-2 whereas Southampton secured a narrow victory against Swansea. Both teams were in action during the week in the EFL cup with the Hammers beating Accrington Stanley thanks to a sumptuous 96th-minute free kick from Dimitri Payet and Southampton beating Crystal Palace.
Both teams have inform goalscorers in Michail Antonio for West Ham and Charlie Austin for Southampton. Austin will look to capitalise on West Ham’s shaky defence.
We take a look at some key battles that will take place during the match.
