Julen Lopetegui is in charge at West Ham United, and barring some kind of Dickesian level twist of fate, he still will be in the New Year. Doubtful the club sacks him over the festive fixture congestion period, but then again, if they lose to Southampton FC, the overall worst side in the entire Premier League, well then who knows?! We don't think they will, but it would be a … [Read more...] about West Ham United Starting XI Prediction at Southampton FC

The back line has a lot of injuries too, so much so that … [Read more...] about Manchester City Starting XI Prediction vs Southampton FC
