Virgil van Dijk scored the match-winner three minutes later with a well-taken header.

West Ham vs Southampton Prediction

This has been a season to forget for West Ham. The Hammers' 17th spot is the lowest position they have occupied at this stage of a season since their relegation in 2011. Graham Potter's appointment has not had the desired effect and the only reason they do not have relegation concerns is due to how poor the sides below them have been.

Southampton have now suffered the earliest relegation in Premier League history. They realistically have just one more reason to play for this season, to beat Derby County's all-time lowest tally of 11 points which they are one point short of at the moment. Furthermore, their 81% loss rate is the highest in Premier League history.

We are backing the home side to claim a routine victory and clean sheet.
