West Ham United

West Ham have no fresh injury concerns, with Michail Antonio, Crysencio Summerville and Aaron Cresswell missing.
Graham Potter could go with the same XI that started last week's narrow loss at Liverpool.
That would see Carlos Soler and Lucas Paqueta flank James Ward-Prowse in the middle of the park.
Southampton

Flynn Downes returns from a ban, and should start in the middle of the park at his former employers.
Charlie Taylor and Albert Gronbaek are missing due to injury, but the major concern is the fitness of Paul Onuachu.
Archer may lead the charge should Onuachu miss out on Saturday, while Tyler Dibling and Welington could start.
