Ivan Juric is set to take charge of Southampton for the first time when they host West Ham United at St Mary's as part of the Premier League's Boxing Day festivities.

The former Roma boss has been appointed as Russell Martin's replacement but had to watch on from the stands as the Saints earned a hard-fought 0-0 draw with Fulham on the weekend due to delays in getting a work permit.

Juric will have seen plenty of positives at Craven Cottage as the visitors, led by interim coach Simon Rusk, kept a clean sheet for just the second time this season but there can be no denying the size of the task facing him on the South Coast – with Southampton glued to the bottom of the Premier League and eight points adrift of safety.

In the opposite dugout, summer appointment Julen Lopetegui is yet convince West Ham fans that he is the right man for the job. The Spaniard endured a tough start to life in East London but his fortunes have started to turn and the Hammers battled back for a point against Brighton to make it three games without a defeat – the longest unbeaten run of the new manager's tenure.

With Mohammed Kudus back in the goals and Jarrod Bowen continuing to impress, Lopetegui will hope to use the trip to St Mary's on Boxing Day as an opportunity to build on recent progress.
