Southampton vs West Ham United Predictions 19/08/2017
The Match Is Over. Score:
3-2
Southampton must have won a first three points in their opener against Swansea City at the last weekend but they couldn't do so with the 29 shots they stroke at goal, with only two appeared to have hit the target, whilst West Ham will host another home fixture courtesy of that the Athletics games are taking place now at London Stadium has delayed The Hammers' home start.
Despite having added experience to West Ham's ranks this summer in Man City multiple trophy winners Pablo Zabaleta and Joe Hart, Mexico striker Javier Hernandez and Austria and former Stoke City left-wing forward Marko Arnautovic, Slaven Bilic were lacking pretty much in every aspect in the 4-0 hammering away against tipped title claimers Man United.
It was evident the clubs were different levels and because Hammers are playing away once again in the campaign for a reason, they may be facing the same problems, but this time with Michail Antonio and Manuel Lanzini likely to be available and make a return for the away side, it will be interesting to watch them perform the counter-attacking style that worked out last year at St Mary's.
West Ham: Joe Hart - Pablo Zabaleta, Winston Reid, Angelo Ogbonna, Aaron Cresswell - Andre Ayew, Pedro Obiang, Mark Noble, Marko Arnautovic - Michail Antonio, Chicharito (4-4-2 formation)
West Ham: Andy Carroll, Cheikhou Kouyat. Questionable: Michail Antonio, Manuel Lanzini, James Collins.

Meanwhile, having finished off their opening fixture without marks on the scoresheet to Swansea City, Southampton will be keen to end their home goal drought - Saints haven't scored in a home game over the last six Premier League appearances in the St Mary's Park - meaning scoring here is what Mauricio Pellegrino's side should do in the first place, with an eye towards keeping a second clean sheet in the season.
