Brighton make the trip to West Ham this evening as both teams look to end winless runs.
The Seagulls have dropped down the table after five games without a win in the Premier League. Encouragement can be taken from West Ham’s equally poor form. The home side have not won in their last seven and remain in the relegation places, five points from safety.
Brighton also boast a brilliant record in this fixture. Since promotion to the Premier League in 2017, the South Coast side have lost just one of 17 meetings with West Ham.
