Brighton vs. West Ham: Premier League Preview

Why this matters: This match is crucial for both teams as they aim to improve their positions in the Premier League table. Brighton looks to break their winless streak, while West Ham seeks to build momentum under Graham Potter.

Brighton & Hove Albion faces West Ham United in a Premier League match with both teams looking to secure valuable points. Brighton's form has been inconsistent, with the team winless in their last six games across all competitions. Their last match saw them lose 4-2 against Brentford. Key players like Joao Pedro are out due to suspension, while Jan Paul van Hecke is sidelined with a concussion. However, there is positive news as Kaoru Mitoma is fit to start, and Joel Veltman and Tariq Lamptey are back in contention.

Michail Antonio and Crysencio Summerville remain long-term absentees, and Evan Ferguson is ineligible to play against his parent club.
