Comments:

League position: 9th Southampton had now kept a clean sheet in five of last seven home games in the Premier League. The Saints had now failed to win their last game of the year in each of the last ten seasons. Ryan Bertrand became the eighth player to make 200 appearances in the Premier League for Southampton. Manager Ralph Hasenhüttl was forced to self-isolate at his home during this game after a member of his household tested positive for COVID-19.

Comments:

League position: 10th In their 35 games in the Premier League in 2020, West Ham United scored 51 goals and conceded 51 goals.
