West Ham could soon have nothing to play for An FA Cup exit at Southampton feels like an opportunity missed for David Moyes's side, who will have to upset the odds in other competitions
Never doubt Hasenhuttl... Ralph Hasenhuttl took a gamble in making nine changes against West Ham but his masterplan paid off - Southampton are in FA Cup last eight

Aaron Cresswell - Misses midweek Cup match Cresswell wasn't in the squad for Wednesday's FA Cup match but is "in contention" for Saturday's trip to Liverpool, according to manager David Moyes.
Impact As usual, Moyes didn't give a ton of information on the injury to Cresswell, who simply could've been rested midweek. Cresswell has gone a full 90 in seven-straight league matches following his return from injury and is expected to remain in the XI Saturday if all goes well in training.

Mohamed Elyounoussi - Late test with heel problem Elyounoussi is considered a late test for Saturday's trip to Aston Villa because of a heel problem, according to manager Ralph Hasenhuttl.
Impact Elyounoussi missed Wednesday's FA Cup match with the issue, so there's a real chance he misses Saturday. That said, this seems like a minor issue for now having gone a full 90 the last two league matches. If he can't go, Nathan Redmond is healthy again and ready to start if needed.

Mohammed Salisu - Dealing with hamstring issue Salisu is considered a late test for Saturday's trip to Aston Villa because of a hamstring issue, according to manager Ralph Hasenhuttl.
Impact This may only be a minor tweak for Salisu, who missed Wednesday's FA Cup match. He's been a rock for their back line, going a full 90 in the prior seven league matches following his red-card removal against Tottenham. If he can't go, Jack Stephens would likely start next to Jan Bednarek.

Shane Long - Injured in Cup match Long picked up a knock in Wednesday's FA Cup match and is a late test going forward, according to manager Ralph Hasenhuttl.
Impact Long only made it 45 minutes Wednesday, which isn't a good sign for his status Saturday on a short week. No matter, he's the fourth forward option for Southampton and has just one league start this season, so his presence doesn't change much.

Nathan Redmond - Gets minutes in Cup match Redmond (ankle) played the final 10 minutes of Wednesday's FA Cup match against West Ham.
Impact Redmond finally returned to the squad Wednesday after supposedly being available the prior two weeks. He'd missed the prior four league matches and it doesn't seem like he'll immediately be back in the XI with Mohamed Elyounoussi and Stuart Armstrong playing well on the wings.
