BBC pundit Mark Lawrenson is predicting back to back losses for West Ham losing 2-0 to Southampton.
West Ham are looking to win back-to-back games against Southampton in the Premier League for the first time since October 2001 (a run of four wins).After winning their first ever away game at Southampton in the Premier League (2-0 in November 1993), West Ham have won just two of 15 such games since (D6 L7).
This match between Southampton and West Ham United will be the ninth Premier League match played on a Thursday since the start of 2016/17 – none of the previous eight have been won by the side playing at home (W0 D4 L4).
Charlie Austin has never scored a Premier League goal on a Thursday (two games) but has scored on every other day of the week during his Premier League career. Should he score in his match, he’d be the 26th different player to score on every day of the week in the Premier League.
