Boost for Hammers ahead of Saints clash

|

West Ham may will be boosted by the news that Southampton have been a dealt a possible blow via injury to a key player – Che Adams.

Saints are sitting rock sit bottom but the appointment of Ruben Selles has given the team a new lease of life.

Since the sacking of Nathan Jones. the south coast side have hit a run of far better form taking points off Chelsea, Manchester United and Tottenham .

It’s a huge game and were they to lift three points they could even go above us although the Hammers  are now unbeaten in our last four Premier League games at the London Stadium

Although Saints will travel with optimism, the absence of Adams – forced off in an international against Cyprus last week – would be a big blow and he has now been forced to pull out of the Scotland squad for their upcoming game against Spain as the club assess the damage.
