SOU Vs WHU Dream11 Team Probable Playing 11 And Match Report: Two underwhelming outfit square off against each other in paramount need of a win.
When Southampton and West Ham United clash heads against each other come today, one side is going to manage to wrench out of its unending impasse. With both the teams ensuing horrid seasons in the ongoing edition of the marquee league, a defeat for either could prove to be calamitous, further pushing them in the trenches of the points tally.
For West Ham in particular, a side which finds itself on a cringeworthy downward spiral, a defeat today would end up completely dismantling their season. The side are coming into this one having been routed 3-1 by Arsenal the last time around, a match where they had no one but themselves to blame as they completely lost their way in a 10 minute period.
Despite being the dominant side, the horrid run of events in that aforementioned segment saw the side ship n the three goals to lose 3-1, a result which their fourth defeat in five matches to see them slump into 16th place in the points tally. And with just the one point separating them and Southampton, the losers of this match will make their way into the relegation zone, the fallout of which could end up being harrowing.
Currently in 17th place, the 2-1 defeat they faced against Newcastle United the last time around brought an end to the two match winning spree Southampton were on, a result the side will be looking to overhaul come today. This looks set to be a closely contested tie, a match where either side will be looking to bolster their season.

SOU Vs WHU Dream11 Goal-Keeper
What looked like to be an injury crisis in the goal-keeping slot for West Ham with two of their goal-keepers out injured, has been fortunately addressed perfectly by David Martin. The player has slotted in perfectly for the side, making the most of the opportunities doled out to him with some stupendous saves to see us rope him in for this one.
SOU Vs WHU Dream11 Defenders
Despite us having two sides who have seen their defensive acumen vanish up in smoke this season with the two shipping in the 63 goals in 32 matches, we have still decided to ring in the four defenders for this fixture. We have two sides for whom the first priority is going to be to not succumb to a defeat today, seeing both of them looking to boost their defence in this match.
It leads us to a duo from either side with Cedric Soares and Jan Bednarek representing us from Southampton whilst from the other side of the facet we have decided to move in with the picks of Issa Diop and Ryan Fredericks for the day.
SOU Vs WHU Dream11 Midfielders
Up against a side who have ended up leaking 35 goals in 16 matches, West Ham will be looking to pummel their opposition today and plummet them to a defeat. And two players who are going to find themselves heavily involved in the side’s attacking sorties will be Felipe Anderson and Andriy Yarmolenko with the three goals, a partnership capable of manifesting its affinity for the goal and moving ominously in tandem.
From Southampton meanwhile we have decided to go in with two goal man, Moussa Djenepo for this tie with Sofiane Boufal partnering him up for the day.

Just the one player to bring an end to our picks for the day with us roping in West Ham’s leading goal scorer with the four goals, Sebastian Haller bringing an end to our picks for the contest.
