How West Ham United could line up against Southampton

How West Ham could line up against Southampton

David Moyes could keep the same West Ham United starting lineup for the Premier League fixture with Southampton on Sunday afternoon.

The Hammers found themselves behind to West Bromwich Albion in midweek, but the team rallied to earn a potentially-crucial 3-1 victory at The Hawthorns.

West Ham's plans were disrupted during the warm-up when goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski suffered what appeared to be a knee injury.

Regardless of whether the Pole recovers in time for this game, Moyes may prefer to take no risks and select deputy Darren Randolph.

Arthur Masuaku and Manuel Lanzini could return from their own fitness issues to feature on the substitutes' bench, but they will not start in East London.

Providing that Declan Rice continues to show no ill-effects from the injury which kept him out for a number of weeks, the only alteration may come further forward.

Jarrod Bowen has missed out to accommodate Said Benrahma, and Moyes is unlikely to tinker with his creative trio with Pablo Fornals providing balance to the side.

West Ham possible starting XI: Randolph; Coufal, Dawson, Ogbonna, Cresswell; Soucek, Rice; Fornals, Lingard, Benrahma; Antonio
