West Ham have made a great start to the new Premier League campaign and will be looking to maintain their positive run at St Mary's this weekend. Southampton are yet to win this season and don't have the best of recent records against the Hammers, so will need to be at their best to get anything out of this game.

Over 2.5 Goals
At least three goals have been scored in four of the last six encounters between Southampton and West Ham, including the Hammers' 3-0 win when the pair last locked horns. Over 2.5 goals have also been scored in four of the host's last five fixtures, while four of West Ham's last six outings have produced over 2.5 goals.
BTTS
We're backing goals to be scored in this game by both clubs in what should be an action-packed 90-minutes. Both teams have scored in four of Southampton's last five matches, as well as in each of West Ham's last three Premier League games.
Antonio to Score
Antonio has started the season really well for the Hammers and the new Jamaican international will be looking to continue his fine form in front of goal at St Mary's. The West Ham striker has 4-goals in the Premier League this season, not to mention 3 assists, and we fancy Antonio to get on the scoreboard against Southampton.

Saints go in search of their first win of the campaign
Before the international break, Southampton played out a 2-2 draw at St James's Park despite the game looking like it was going to end in defeat for the Saints. With the scores level at one goal apiece, Newcastle went 2-1 up in stoppage time and appeared to have won the game only for Ward-Prowse to convert a 96th-minute penalty to rescue a point for the visitors.
West Ham's last league game also ended in a 2-2 draw but after taking the lead twice, David Moyes' side really should have won the game. Fornals put the Hammers 1-0 up at the break but Crystal Palace equalised just before the hour mark through Gallagher. That man Antonio put West Ham in front in the 68th-minute but Gallagher scored his second goal of the game 2-minutes later and the game ended all square.

Southampton: Stuart Armstrong is a doubt for the hosts with a calf strain and both Shane Long and William Smallbone have been ruled out of Saturday's clash.
West Ham: Winston Reid could return from a knee injury in time to make the trip to Southampton, which could come in handy of Kurt Zouma doesn't return to the squad in time to play following family issues.
