Full West Ham squad available for Premier League clash with Southampton amid doubts over trio

West Ham United manager David Moyes could be without several first team players when the Hammers take on Southampton in a big relegation six-pointer.

The Hammers are back in Premier League action after the international break, with West Ham hosting bottom side Saints in a crucial clash in the battle to stay in the top flight.

Following the results on Saturday, which included wins for Bournemouth and Crystal Palace, West Ham now find themselves second from bottom in the Premier League with 24 points from 26 games, with two games in hand on most of the teams around them.

But Hammers boss Moyes has confirmed that he has three new injury concerns going into the game, with doubts over left-back Emerson, centre-back Nayef Aguerd and striker Gianluca Scamacca, who were all away on international duty over the past fortnight.

“We're pretty good,” Moyes said, speaking on Friday. “We've got illness here and there and a couple of injuries [with the players coming back from international duty].

"Emerson has had a bit of sickness, [Nayef] Aguerd came back with a bit of a grumbly hip and [Gianluca] Scamacca has a bit of a sore knee, so we'll see where they are in the next few days."

West Ham could be boosted by the return of goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski, who has been back in training without a mask this week following a cheekbone injury, while Vladimir Coufal and Michail Antonio could also be in contention to feature after returning to full fitness.

Here is a look at who could feature for the Hammers against the Saints.
