West Ham are looking to keep their Champions League qualification hopes on course as they take on Southampton at St Mary's on Saturday evening.

Slaven Bilic's side are looking to close the gap on fourth-placed Arsenal to three points ahead of the Gunners' clash against Bournemouth on Sunday.

The Hammers head to the south coast sitting in sixth off the back of a 2-0 home win against relegation battlers Aston Villa, though hosts Southampton are not far behind Bilic's men.

Ronald Koeman's Saints are one place behind the Hammers in seventh, and could cut the gap between the sides to just two points if they can claim a win in front of their own supporters.

Bilic has backed captain Mark Noble to continue his "terrific" form to put himself in England plans for Euro 2016, and another fine display here could give Three Lions boss Roy Hodgson a decision to make.
