The Premier League is back in action with another round of matches this weekend as Southampton lock horns with David Moyes' West Ham United side in a crucial encounter at the London Stadium on Sunday.
West Ham United vs Southampton Preview
West Ham United are currently in 18th place in the Premier League standings and have been surprisingly poor so far this season. The Hammers thrashed AEK Larnaca by a 4-0 scoreline in their previous game and will look to achieve a similar result this weekend.
Southampton, on the other hand, are rooted to the bottom of the league table at the moment and have struggled this season. The Saints held Tottenham Hotspur to an admirable 3-3 draw before the international break and will need to take it up a notch in this fixture.
