West Ham face rock bottom Southampton today in a game that is surely a must-win for Julen Lopetegui.

The Head Coach has been under increasing pressure this season, following what has been a poor campaign thus far under the Spaniard, as the club look more set for a place firmly within the bottom half of the Premier League.

Southampton though are far worse off, as they sit on 20th place with 6 points from 17 matches – so there really are no excuses going into this fixture.

The hosts will be hoping for a new manager bounce, following the arrival of Ivan Juric, who replaced Russell Martin as manager.

West Ham will be without Lucas Paqueta, however Carlos Soler returns from suspension.

Jean-Clair Todibo is expected to feature, although Mavropanos may also be available for selection.

Gavin Bazunu, Will Smallbone and Ross Stewart are all out for the hosts today, however Juric is boosted for his first game in charge by the return of captain Jack Stephens.

Former Hammer Flynn Downes is expected to face of against the club he’s supported as a boy.

Today’a match kicks off at 3pm and is being shown live on Amazon Prime.
