Can West Ham put an end to their dry spell of defeats and bag their second win on London Stadium soil? However, the in-form Southampton won't make it easy for them, as they enter the bout following two home wins in the league and cup.
This fixture has all of the ingredients for a thrilling 90 minutes of football.
25 MINS
Zaza wins his side a free-kick in a dangerous position as he is pushed to the ground. This is a more realistic distance for Payet to hit the target and test Forster. Seeing the French professional lining up a free kick, armed with his reputation of set piece brilliance is enough to make any goalkeeper's knees tremble.
But, it's an anti-climax. He sends the ball into the box and it is easily dealt with.
28 MINS
Balls continue to be put into the box for Southampton, but there is no final product. Adrian continues to come out on top as he easily collects the crossed balls.
31 MINS
Bertrand wins his side a corner, but it poses no real threat and Payet deals with the danger. Reid goes down in the box holding his head, but it's not a big injury and he gets back up on his feet.
34 MINS
A West Ham attack draws to a close, as Lanzini breaks but delivers a poor cross into the box that goes straight off for a goal kick. That's poor from him and rather out of character. He should be doing better from such a dangerous position.
