da bet7： Southampton travel to Upton Park on Saturday without record signing Gaston Ramirez, who could be out until December.
da dobrowin： The 21-year-old is suffering from a severe dead leg that could rule him out for up to six weeks, after he missed both of Uruguay’s World Cup qualifiers against Argentina and Bolivia during the international break.
The loss will be a huge blow for Southampton, who have struggled in the early stages of the season with only one win and four points compared to the Hammers’ three wins and 11 points.
West Ham have their own injury concerns, with Sam Allardyce rocked by the news Ricardo Vaz Te is expected to miss three months with a shoulder injury picked up during the defeat to Arsenal.
Andy Carroll could make his first start for the Hammers since his debut, having recovered fully from a hamstring injury.
Southampton’s inability to keep out goals has been well documented, although Nigel Adkins will be hoping for the same spirit they showed in the 2-2 draw with Fulham last time out, a result that lifted them out of the drop zone.
Prediction: West Ham 3-1 Southampton
