  3. Southampton 0-0 West Ham: Moyes reaction, published at17:49 11 September

    West Ham boss David Moyes speaking to BBC Sport: "Southampton made it difficult for us, but overall we had a lot of control of the game but we just couldn't find the openings or the moments required to get a goal.

    "I felt we played well with the ball, but we didn't do that in the final third. I think we were poor, we didn't have the connections. It may have had a lot to do with the players being away for the international break."

    On the red card: "[Antonio] had been booked for the first one. You just don't make any more challenges and give the referee a decision to make. My feeling was from where I was it was probably a booking and he got sent off for it."

  8. Moyes on squad fitness, new signings & Antonio, published at14:49 10 September

    David Moyes has been speaking to the media before West Ham travel to Southampton on Saturday.

    Here are the key lines from the Hammers boss:

    • Everyone seems to have come back fit and Covid-free from international duty;

    • The new signings make it feel like they have just come through pre-season, and this feels like a "fresh start";

    • Kurt Zouma's best days are "still ahead of him", while Nikola Vlasic is "on the up and hungry to prove himself";

    • Michail Antonio, who has been named August's player of the month, is "getting his reward", but Moyes admits they would have liked to have added a similar player in the transfer window to boost the squad.

  9. Lawro's predictions: Southampton v West Ham, published at13:27 10 September

    Mark Lawrenson takes on The Vaccines guitarist Justin Young for the fourth round of Premier League predictions.

    Lawro's prediction: 2-1

    Southampton are another team without a victory so far but I think their performances have been better than their results in their first three games.

    West Ham, meanwhile, have won two out of three and would have a 100% record if they hadn't let their lead slip twice at home against Crystal Palace before the international break.

    This is going to be close, but I just have a sneaky feeling Saints are going to snatch the points here, and end their wait for a win.

    Justin's prediction: I grew up in Southampton so I have got a bit of an affinity with Saints - I used to go and watch them play at The Dell with my dad. Being totally honest, I'm not really sure where either team is, this close to the start of the season, but I will go with Southampton for sentimental reasons if nothing else. 1-0

  15. Vlasic among this weekend's potential debutants, published at16:16 9 September

    From the striker whose old fans "would have given the keys to their car to drive him away" to the winger who was playing it "safe" at his old club, BBC Sport looks at some of the new players in the Premier League after a flurry of late signings at the end of the summer transfer window.

    Nikola Vlasic (West Ham)

    Nikola Vlasic will hope his second spell in England is more memorable than his first.

    The 23-year-old attacking midfielder, who has won 29 caps for Croatia, has joined West Ham from CSKA Moscow for an initial £26.8m, potentially rising by £7.7m.

    He made 19 appearances for Everton in 2017-18, but his only two goals came in the Europa League.

    "I'm a much better player and my mentality is not the same as when I was 19," he said. "It's four years since I was in the Premier League and I really feel like I need to prove something to myself."

    He is one of three potential West Ham debutants, along with Czech midfielder Alex Kral - the third ex-Slavia Prague player at the club - and £29.8m former Chelsea centre-back Kurt Zouma.

  16. All hail Michail, published at14:58 9 September

    Michail Antonio celebrates scoring against Newcastleimage source, Getty Images

    Andrew Bassett, BBC Sport data analyst

    Michail Antonio is one of my poster boys for expected goals (xG).

    In the previous two Premier League seasons he’s been in the top five among forwards for that particular stat per 90 minutes. In short, he’s consistently able to get into good goalscoring positions.

    Now, the West Ham man leads the Premier League scoring charts this season with four goals.

    And, unsurprisingly, his underlying numbers are great too. By this I mean Antonio leads the league for total shots (16), shots on target (7) and is in second place for touches in the opposition box (27).

    Statistically speaking, we are seeing a player living up to his potential.

    He’s a top-level Premier League striker capable of fighting for the Golden Boot…as long as he can stay fit and play the majority of the campaign.

  17. Southampton v West Ham: Last time out, published at13:35 9 September

    Southampton host West Ham in the Premier League this weekend - but what happened when the two teams last met in the top flight?

    The meeting was a memorable one for the Hammers, who eased to a 3-0 victory that clinched a sixth-place finish in the league and a spot in the Europa League group stage.

    A Pablo Fornals double and Declan Rice's late strike also saw David Moyes' side end their campaign on 65 points - their highest tally in the top flight.

    Fornals opened the scoring against the run of play, tapping into an empty net after keeper Alex McCarthy had steered Jarrod Bowen's goalbound effort into his path.

    He made it 2-0 with a strike that deflected off Saints defender Jannik Vestergaard following Vladimir Coufal's low cross.

    And Rice completed the scoring late on with a composed finish from Fornals' clipped pass.

    West Ham secured a top-six finish in the Premier League for only the second time, with the Hammers also finishing 5th in 1998-99 under Harry Redknapp.
