Southampton and the Premier League return from the international break this weekend and will look to pick up as many points as possible in September.

The Saints have played 4 matches this season across all competitions and only have 1 win and that came against Newport County.

Southampton will play another 4 matches this month and against some tough competition. It is going to be a fight for points but let us take a look at where they can pick some up.

Southampton vs West Ham

West Ham have been one of the better Premier League sides over the last few months and have started this season out hot. They are led by Michail Antonio up top and are going to be formidable opponents.

Recent history is also on the sides of the Hammers as they have dominated this matchup over the previous few seasons.

They have a deadly attack and can score in bunches so if Southampton are not careful they could find themselves down a couple of goals early in this one. If they want to take points away from this match they are going to have to be defensively strong.
