West Ham XI vs Southampton: Predicted line-ups, confirmed squad news and latest Premier League injuries

The Hammers begin the run-in inside the relegation zone on goal difference and host Saints from the back at the London Stadium for a six-pointer.

Speaking ahead of Friday’s game, David Moyes revealed that Aguerd had a hip problem, while Scamacca had a knee problem and Emerson suffered from illness.

All three are due to be assessed on Saturday before a decision is made on their involvement.

West Ham will however be boosted by the return of Vladimir Coufal.

The right-back missed the Irons’ last two league games before the international break with a persistent heel problem but was fit enough to start both Czech Republic games in the last fortnight.

Moyes also has a decision to make in goal, with Lukasz Fabianski available again after recovering from a broken cheekbone suffered in the 4-0 win over Nottingham Forest last month. Alphonse Areola was a substitute but the Pole could return.

Predicted West Ham XI (4-3-3): Fabianski; Coufal, Zouma, Aguerd, Emerson; Soucek, Rice, Paqueta; Bowen, Ings, Benrahma.
