Southampton v Hull, 15:00 Southampton are well-known now as a club going places, with money to spend and a manager who actually understands how to set a defence up properly, but conversely not many folk are giving Hull the credit they deserve. Expected by the media to drop like a stone this season, Steve Bruce’s side are currently tenth in the table going into this game and already have wins over Newcastle, Sunderland and West Ham to their name. Getting three points here for the Baggies might be tough, and at 13/10 with Ladbrokes to win to nil Southampton are quite well priced. Southampton will assess club record signing Dani Osvaldo, but Guly do Prado underwent knee surgery on Wednesday and will be ruled out for the remainder of 2013. Danny Graham is available for Hull but the game may come too soon for Robbie Brady, while Sone Aluko joins James Chester and Allan McGregor on the sidelines. Norwich v West Ham, 17:30 With two goals in their last seven league games you do wonder if the Norwich board and fans may start asking what the point was of buying all those strikers over the summer, and there is no doubt Sam Allardyce would love to have the selection of front men the Canaries can call upon. As it is the ball delivery systems in midfield aren’t exactly shining for today’s home team, and the Hammers can be a dangerous side away from their ground with good set pieces and a decent counter-attack, with 17/2 on a 1-0 away win available at Bet365. Norwich midfielder Robert Snodgrass is fit but Ricky van Wolfswinkel will again miss out through injury while Nathan Redmond is nursing a hip problem and is a doubt. The Hammers are missing Mladen Petric, Andy Carroll, Ricardo vaz Te and Winston Reid but James Collins has overcome a hamstring complaint and could feature.
