West Ham and Southampton's clash on Saturday represents one of the most important fixtures we've seen in the Premier league this season.

Both clubs are usually a key part of the English top flight's middle order, but now find themselves desperately trying to claw themselves away from the relegation zone amid incredibly turbulent campaigns.

In addition to the fact this game is now a six-pointer between two unexpected relegation rivals who could essentially seal the other's fate on Saturday, it will also be Mark Hughes' first Premier League game in charge of Southampton and West Ham's first match at the London Stadium after those shocking scenes from their 3-0 defeat to Burnley.

So all signs point to it being a real pressure-cooker affair, and both managers will accordingly need to get their team selections spot on. For Hughes, that could well centre around which wide players to use in the 4-4-2 system he deployed against Wigan in the FA Cup replay before the international break.

Five-cap Moroccan playmaker Sofiane Boufal started on the left against the Latics and once again showed his talent in glimpses, but was taken off after an hour and replaced by Nathan Redmond. The English forward, who Transfermarkt value at £16.2million, went on to grab the assist for Cedric Soares' late goal.

So, Southampton fans, which wide man would you start at the London Stadium on Saturday? Let us know by voting below...
