The focus will soon shift to their two quarterfinal meetings with Belgium’s Gent, so Moyes’s team cannot remain solely concentrated on the Premier League relegation dogfight, where no fewer than nine teams are in danger of finishing in the bottom three.
They started the international break in 18th place after a 1-1 draw with Aston Villa on March 12, but the gap to Crystal Palace in 12th is only three points, and the Hammers have at least one game in hand on all of their relegation rivals. They have not lost in front of their own fans since losing to Brentford in their final home fixture of 2022, after embarking on a five-game unbeaten run at the London Stadium, but Southampton have recently when it comes to notable results on the road.

Southampton may have taken five points from 12 available against Leicester City, Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester United, and Brentford, but they remain rooted to the bottom in 20th place, and all of the sides around them have at least one game in hand.
Ruben Selles’ side held Manchester United to a goalless draw on their most recent road trip, but they have only one goal from their last four Premier League away games – a Ward-Prowse free kick that put Chelsea to the sword in February. Southampton extended their unbeaten streak against the Hammers to four games in all competitions since a crushing 3-0 loss at the London Stadium in May 2021 by holding opponent to a 1-1 draw when the two teams squared off at St. Mary’s five months ago.

Taking on a resilient West Ham side at home will be a different kettle of fish than taking on a disjointed Tottenham side for Southampton, who have injury concerns in both thirds of the field. In recent weeks, Selles’ side has held their own against the big boys, but their continued lack of goals on rival turf could tip the scales in the Hammers’ favour, as Moyes’ side significantly boosts their survival chances at the expense of Southampton’s.
West Ham 1-0 Southampton, predicted by us.
