West Ham travel to St Mary’s this afternoon in what promises to be a close encounter between the two sides. The Hammers will be looking towards Europe with a win this evening and the return of Andy Carroll could play a big part.
Naturally, the pre-match build-up is well under way. Here are some of the best tweets ahead of tonight’s game:
Jack knows what this game means for the Hammers:
Today is a massive game, beat Southampton and this season could be a seriously good one for West Ham!

Meanwhile, with a can of Fosters on board, Dimitri Payet is well up for the Saints trip:

This is the sort of commitment you look for in West Ham fans:
If West Ham draw today and the Southampton away game gets moved to Saturday then I am 100% sacking off my birthday meal

And here we are desperately trying to tempt fate:
It’s match day and this man’s back. Can he get the winner off the bench once again? #COYIpic.twitter.com/PVC2Ta6Nw7

The Big One: Lawro vs Merse vs Forever West Ham
Lawro once again proved his worth as a football expert by brilliantly predicting our 2-0 victory over Aston Villa. It means that the Hammers have reached the 15 point mark in Lawro’s table, just five points off Leicester City in 17th…
This week, Lawro has returned to what he knows best and has predicted a 2-1 defeat for the Hammers.
Merse has decided that he doesn’t want the entire West Ham faithful to hate him so he’s opted for a 2-2 draw, labelling the Hammers ‘a good team’. Too kind.
And just to be different, we’ve gone with a resounding 1-2 victory with Emmanuel Emenike scoring the winner (just you wait).
