The misery continues for West Ham…

West Ham have their back against the wall and their schedule is not getting any easier. The Hammers have not a won a game since January 1st. Since then, David Moyes’ record in charge of West Ham consists of two draws and five defeats.

With Arsenal, Wolves, Tottenham and Chelsea being West Ham’s next four opponents, Saturday’s clash against Southampton is a must-win game. For the Saints, they are aware of West Ham’s desperation, but they are prepared to cope with any pressure they plan to apply.

Southampton have momentum on their side after defeating Aston Villa over the weekend, a game in which they took 28 shots. The Saints will not be as dominant this weekend, but they have too much firepower in midfield and up top to add more misery to West Ham.

Prediction: West Ham 1-2 Southampton

Wolves break into the Top Six

Wolves have taken five points from their last three games, but they have a golden opportunity to take three precious points that would send them into the top six on Sunday. Nuno Espirito Santo’s men have only lost six times this season, which marks the second best tally in the Premier League behind Liverpool.

Tottenham have been giving maximum effort in order to beat inferior opponents without Harry Kane, but now they have try to win without Son Heung-Min as well. When combining the goals and assists between Kane and Son, one would see that the attacking duo has been directly involved in 66% of Tottenham’s goals this season.

With both of them sidelined due to injuries, Wolves will surely take the game to Spurs from the opening whistle. Wolves have a dynamic trio that can cause problems for any team in the Premier League and Tottenham’s back-line will fail to contain them for 90 minutes.

Prediction: Tottenham 0-2 Wolves
