SPIES & SKINT CLUBS | WEST HAM UNITED | EFL CHAMPIONSHIP

Southampton come to the London Stadium on Saturday (3pm) still serving a four-point deduction for "Spygate": filming Middlesbrough's training before last season's play-off semi-final, which got them thrown out of the play-offs. They're 8th, but they'd be 4th without it. So how good are they really, and how do we beat them?Plus: the new Independent Football Regulator's first "State of the Game" report says 94% of English clubs are losing money, despite the game bringing in more than £9bn a year. More than a quarter couldn't survive a month if their owner walked away. Parachute payments are in the firing line, and we're a parachute club. So what does it mean for West Ham?In this video:⚒️ Southampton preview: form, team news, Larin's fitness and the threats to watch⚒️ Spygate: what happened and why Saints are on minus four⚒️ Referee Michael Salisbury: a Premier League ref with no VAR, and our penalty problem⚒️ Is it on TV?
