Graham Potter’s tenure at West Ham United has yet to truly catch fire, and as the Easter weekend approaches, his side prepares to host a struggling Southampton outfit already resigned to life outside the Premier League next season.
The Hammers are in the midst of a five-game winless run in the league, though there were encouraging signs in their narrow defeat to Liverpool, where only a late Virgil van Dijk header separated the sides.
Regardless of their recent dip, the West Londoners can be confident with their strong head-to-head record against the Saints as they remain unbeaten in the last three league meetings, along with four wins in the last five meetings at the London Stadium.

Southampton, meanwhile, have been leaking goals with alarming regularity. The south coast club has shipped the opener in seven of their last nine outings and are without a clean sheet in their last 13 matches across all competitions.
With just two wins to their name in 2025, the Saints arrive in East London with form and confidence both in short supply.
The Sporting News looks at the key details ahead of this game, including how to watch the match, kickoff times and the latest lineup news.
