The Gameweek continues with just one Sunday fixture, as Southampton entertain Sam Allardyce’s West Ham at St Mary’s. Both sides go into the game off the back of 1-0 setbacks last time out and will be looking to push up to the upper echelons of the table with three points.

The managers have contrasting options in attack for today’s game. While Mauricio Pochettino has the opportunity to pair England striker Rickie Lambert with new signing Pablo Osvaldo, Allardyce is woefully short on firepower with Andy Carroll now set for a prolonged spell on the sidelines. That could well make for a cagey affair, although Lambert’s Fantasy owners will hope that their man continues his positive start to the season by adding to his opening day strike from the spot at the Hawthorns.

Our Dugout Discussion chatroom is now open for those looking for some real-time accompaniment to the live broadcast.

The team news is in and is as follows:

Southampton make three changes from the side that stumbled at Norwich last time out. Luke Shaw and Nathaniel Clyne oust Danny Fox and Callum Chambers from the full-back berths, while James Ward-Prowse makes way for Jay Rodriguez on the right of the attacking midfield three, with the former Burnley man slotting in alongside Osvaldo and Adam Lallana behind Lambert.

Sam Allardyce makes just one alteration from the Gameweek 3 home loss to Stoke. Ravel Morrison is drafted in for the injured Stewart Downing on the right of the front three, with Joey O’Brien yet again selected at left-back, consigning new boy Razvan Rat to bench-warming duties once more.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    Simple question: WC my team or not?

    Szczesny - Lewis
    Shaw - Lescott - Dawson - Coleman - Gabbidon
    Nolan - Mirallas - Walcott - Barkley - Nani (I know, that was stupid)
    Benteke - Soldado - Sturridge

    3.2 in the bank.

    So, WC or 1 FT

    Thanks, you guys.

      I'm tempted to WC my team aswell.

      If I were you I would.

      I'd want rid of Lescott, Szcz, Nolan, Nani & Mirallas. Although it isn't essential!

      I probably would.

      Szczesny > Migs
      Lescott > Nasty or Zabs
      Gabbidon > Wilson
      Nolan > Ozil (using 3.2 in the bank)
      Mirallas > Eriksen
      Nani > anything

      Something like that?

      Chadli is injured now - Gylfi is in at least until he returns.

      AVB also has a meritocracy in place so that Gylfi is likely to retain his place, at least for now.
