Southampton vs. West Ham Team and Injury News:
Another week, another Southampton match against an opponent getting caught up in the Premier League relegation battle with Saints.
Tonight, Ralph Hasenhuttl’s men welcome Manuel Pellegrini’s West Ham to St. Mary’s.
West Ham currently lie 16th in the Premier League standings on 16 points - two positions higher than Saints who are 18th with 15 points.
In terms of team and injury news, Southampton could welcome back Stuart Armstrong today after he recovered from a hamstring injury.

West Ham are missing the likes of Manuel Lanzini, Lukasz Fabianski and Jack Wilshere.
Aaron Cresswell and Andriy Yarmolenko are slight injury doubts, but there’s a chance they’ll feature.
