Work to do for both teams.
Saints look shaky at the back as usual, but West Ham haven’t stamped their authority over the three points up for grabs.
In fact, Southampton are out-attempting the Irons 7-5. Could Saints shake free and pile a bit of pressure on Graham Potter?
A lot of West Ham, but Saints come close

His low dig is across goal and beats Alphonse Areola’s right leg only to miss its target inside the far post.
0-0, 27′.
Aaron Ramsdale busy early
Lucas Paqueta takes the ball away outside the 18 and finds space on the right to whip in a low pass to the near post.
Niclas Fullkrug is there nad ge gets a decent bit of the ball but Saints keeper Aaron Ramsdale flies to his near post to push the ball away. Good sabe.
0-0, 5′.

West Ham vs Southampton preview
Southampton’s quest to avoid the worst single season in Premier League history goes in search of London-born relief when the Saints visit West Ham United on Saturday. The Saints’ 10 points need to add find two more in order to miss out on the ignominy of the fewest points in the Premier League era.
They may feel like the short trip to London could deliver those points, as West Ham have been all over the place in terms of performances under new-ish boss Graham Potter. The Irons are 2D-3L in their last five games, which followed back-to-back wins over Arsenal and Leicester City that portended real growth.
West Ham team news, focus
OUT: Michail Antonio (MORE), Crysencio Summerville (hamstring) | QUESTIONABLE: Aaron Cresswell (muscular), Aaron Wan-Bissaka (foot)
Southampton team news, focus
OUT: Albert Gronbaek (undisclosed) | QUESTIONABLE: Paul Onuachu (ankle), Charlie Taylor (undisclosed)
West Ham vs Southampton prediction
Saints are underdogs as expected and West Ham beat them at St. Mary’s on Boxing Day when Jarrod Bowen scored to sour then-Southampton manager Ivan Juric’s start to life with the club. If there’s a breakout candidate on the fixture list for an opposing attack, it’s likely Saints. Southampton have conceded multiple goals in all but two games since New Year’s Day, and those games are their lone win and lone draw during that spell. Can they limit West Ham? West Ham 2-1 Southampton.
