The Hammers will head south to Brighton on Sunday, May 16 at 5:00am (all times AEDT).<\/p>\n
As the season narrows to a close, the Seagulls and Irons have plenty to play for but will be facing a different destiny should either see success this weekend.<\/p>\n
After securing their stay in the top-flight for another year, the weight will be off the shoulders of Brighton as they now look to improve on their 17th placing.<\/p>\n
The Hammers on the other hand will be looking to move into the top-four as they remain six points away from Chelsea with a game-in-hand.<\/p>\n
In what has been a stellar campaign for David Moyes\u2019 men, the Londoners will be keen to secure a European place for next year, requiring a strong conclusion to the season.<\/p>\n
A topsy-turvy past month has seen West Ham slide in form, but they should be fancied against the battling Seagulls.<\/p>\n
Should fate mirror the corresponding fixture between these two sides, one point will be shared to either clubs following their 2-2 draw in late december in the nation\u2019s capital.<\/p>\n
The Hammers are sure to place plenty of pace, power and poise in this weekend\u2019 must-win clash, with a need to look over their own shoulder as vital as looking forward.<\/p>\n
Our Tip: West Ham Win @ $2.40<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Southampton vs Fulham<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n The Saints will welcome the Cottagers to St Mary\u2019s on Sunday, May 16 at 12:00am.<\/p>\n This weekend\u2019s clash follows the unfortunate news of Fulham’s relegation from the Premier League after a disappointing return to the top-flight.<\/p>\n The West Londoners failed to impress this season and will be playing for bragging rights over their fellow cellar dwellers in hoping to land an 18th-placed finish.<\/p>\n In their way to do so in Matchweek 36 is Southampton, another club that has failed to live up to expectations this year.<\/p>\n Albeit safe for another season, the Saints haven\u2019t given their fans the confidence required for early safety, only just managing to bring up the 40-point milestone in their most previous match.<\/p>\n A 3-1 win over Crystal Palace is sure to bode well with the Saints faithful for now, but securing a second-consecutive victory is sure to appeal to their desires of a more respectable finish.<\/p>\n Recent history should work in favour of the home side, who have lost just the one clash to Fulham in their past 10 meetings.<\/p>\n Should the Saints add further misery to the Cottagers\u2019 parade, they stand every chance to end the season with a formidable finish given their poor start.<\/p>\n Our Tip: Southampton Win @ $2.00<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n
