West Ham United play host to Southampton on Boxing Day conceivably requiring every one of the three focuses to hold their spot in the main five of the Premier League standings.
In the mean time, the Saints are without accomplishment in their last six first class apparatuses, leaving the guests down in fifteenth situation in front of the excursion to the London Stadium.
With a feverish timetable and a few wounds to vital participants, it was fairly unavoidable that West Ham would ultimately experience a conflicting run.
By and by, David Moyes would have expected obviously better than an arrival of five focuses from six Premier League games, the singular success coming at home to Chelsea.
Michail Antonio's absence of structure in the last third has harmed the Hammers, as will his Covid related nonattendance over the Christmas time frame, however it offers different players a chance to show that Moyes ought not depend vigorously on the forward.
Jarrod Bowen got a splendid objective during Wednesday's 2-1 loss at Tottenham Hotspur in the EFL Cup, despite the fact that he has likewise battled for consistency in the last third with that strike addressing only his fifth of the mission.
Optimistically speaking, Moyes was left energized by the exhibition in North London, and it could be to the point of lifting his players in front of what will be viewed as must-dominate match on Sunday.
Up until the beginning of November, there were signs that Southampton had completely recuperated from their lethargic beginning by gathering 10 focuses north of a four-match period.
Notwithstanding, only three focuses have come from the accompanying six apparatuses, stacking the strain on Ralph Hasenhuttl with only three successes being recorded from 17 games this season.
Albeit only five focuses separate 10th and fifteenth, Southampton have not seemed as though a side who are fit for assembling the sort of results which can rapidly move them up towards mid-table.
Chelsea loanee Armando Broja keeps on being the brilliant spot of a disappointing effort, the 20-year-old having now scored multiple times from only 621 minutes of first class football.
West Ham United possible XI : Fabainski; Coufal, Dawson, Diop, Johnson, Rice, Soucek, Bowen, Fornals, Benrahma, Yarmolenko
Southampton possible XI : Caballero; Livramento, Salisu, Lyanco, Walker-Peters, Walcott, Ward-Prowse, Romeu, Redmond, Broja, Tella
