Two Championship sides with contrasting weekends meet at St Mary’s, with a third round place up for grabs.
Southampton got their first league win of the season on Saturday, beating Stoke City 3-1 through Cyle Larin, Divin Mubama and Ryan Manning.
The Saints still sit bottom of the table because of the four-point deduction handed down over the Spygate case, but the squad has been reinforced with Larin, Mubama, George Long, Daniel Peretz and Lewis Dobbin.
Taylor Harwood-Bellis is likely to sit this one out again with Aston Villa interested in the defender. Changes are expected across the side given the quick turnaround.
West Ham are still looking for a first league win since relegation, having drawn 2-2 at Burnley before losing 2-1 at home to Charlton Athletic.
Joel Piroe pulled one back at the weekend and Valentin Castellanos missed a penalty in added time. Nuno Espirito Santo said afterwards that his side had let the supporters down.
Rotation is likely for the visitors too, with Lewis Orford, James Ward-Prowse and Joel Veltman among those in line to come in.
Southampton have not beaten West Ham in their last four meetings overall, though they did win the two most recent cup ties between the clubs.
