Paul Merson has given his prediction for the upcoming match between Southampton and West Ham United.
The Saints are in 17th place in the Premier League table with 7 points. David Moyes' side, meanwhile, are in 13th place with 10 points.
Both sides will be hoping to have a successful match when they face each other on October 16, on Sunday. Ahead of the game, Merson has shared his thoughts, backing the Hammers to beat the rivals with a score of 2 - 1.
"This is a big match for Southampton - the home fans will want a win. I like the manager, but you're going to hear a lot of things coming out about his job now. Southampton are a bit stuck at the moment," the pundit said, via Sportskeeda.
"Gianluca Scamacca looks like a good signing for West Ham. They took a big call to keep Michail Antonio out, but he came on and scored his goal as well. He has been struggling a little bit, but he can come on against tiring defenders and do major damage."
