Top Players
- Southampton have won successive matches under Ralph Hasenhuttl and are now three points above the relegation zone. That gap may be closer by the time they play West Ham on Thursday.
- West Ham’s run of four league wins on the spin was ended by Watford on Saturday, as Manuel Pellegrini’s side lost 2-0 at home. The Hammers now have two away games in a row, but they should be targetting maximum points in both.
- Southampton are unbeaten in five of their last six home league matches against West Ham and certainly have their tails up at the moment. Hasenhuttl will hope to get at least a point from Thursday’s match.
