As the match kicks off this weekend, the pundit predicted that the Hammers will be the favorite to win.
“This is a big match for Southampton – the home fans will want a win. I like the manager, but you’re going to hear a lot of things coming out about his job now. Southampton are a bit stuck at the moment.
“Gianluca Scamacca looks like a good signing for West Ham. They took a big call to keep Michail Antonio out, but he came on and scored his goal as well. He has been struggling a little bit, but he can come on against tiring defenders and do major damage.” told Merson via Spotskeeda.
