Team analysis: West Ham

The home side currently sits in 17th place, having earned 35 points from 9 victories, 8 draws, and 15 defeats. In their penultimate match, they drew 2-2 against AFC Bournemouth at home, followed by a 2-1 loss to Liverpool in their last fixture. Within the league, West Ham has accumulated 11 points from the last 30 available, securing 3 wins, 2 draws, and suffering 5 defeats in their last 10 home matches. Among these, the most common scoreline at half-time has been 0-0, occurring in 6 of the 16 games. The defence has shown vulnerability, conceding in 8 of their last 10 matches, yet their attack has been consistent, finding the net in 7 of those games. This season they have conceded the first goal in 18 out of 32 games and have not managed to come back on those occasions. A notable statistic is that out of their last 16 home matches, 7 of their 20 goals have come between the 31st and 45th minutes.

Recently, West Ham United faced a 2-1 defeat at Anfield against Liverpool, with the only goal for the visitors coming from an own goal by Andrew Robertson. The home team generally sets up in a 3-5-2 formation, with Mohammed Kudus and Jarrod Bowen as the two most advanced players. They often launch their attacking plays through the right flank, taking advantage of the strength of Aaron Wan-Bissaka. However, they will be without Aaron Cresswell, Crysencio Summerville, and Michail Antonio due to injury.

Team analysis: Southampton

The visiting side currently finds itself at the bottom of the table in 20th position, having achieved only 10 points from 2 wins, 4 draws, and 26 losses. In their penultimate match, they suffered a 3-1 defeat against Tottenham Hotspur, followed by a home loss of 0-3 to Aston Villa in their last outing. In their last 10 away matches in the Premier League, Southampton has managed just 1 win, 2 draws, and 7 losses, totalling only 5 points from a possible 30. There are patterns in their away results, such as a 1-0 margin at half-time (6 in 16 games) and a final score of 3-1 (6 in 16 games). Defensively, they have been weak, conceding in every one of their last 10 matches, although their attack has scored in 7 of those outings. In 32 league games, they have yet to turn around a match after conceding first, having failed to do so in the 21 instances they faced.

Southampton comes into this match after losing 0-3 against Aston Villa. Manager Simon Rusk is expected to deploy a 3-4-3 formation, with Tyler Dibling, Kamaldeen Sulemana, and Cameron Archer leading the line. Mateus Fernandes plays a crucial role in midfield, orchestrating offensive plays and setting the tempo of the match. The team will miss several players due to injury, including Ryan Fraser, Charlie Taylor, Albert Grønbaek, Juan Larios, and Paul Onuachu.
