Brighton vs West Ham Lineups & Last Match
Brighton
Brighton made light work of Wolves at Molineux last time out. Mitoma got the ball rolling with the opening goal after 15-minutes, after good work from Estupinan. The defender then turned goalscorer early in the second half to make it 2-0 and shortly after that, March scored a third for the Seagulls. March netted again in the 55th-minute and although Wolves pulled a goal back, the result had already been decided by that point. Jakub Moder has a knee injury that looks set to keep him out of this weekend's match.
Predicted Lineup – Steele (GK), Webster, Dunk, Estupiñán, Milner, Groß, March, Gilmour, Mitoma, Welbeck & Enciso
West Ham
West Ham had to dig in to beat Chelsea 3-1 at home last weekend. An early goal from Aguerd was cancelled out by a Chelsea equaliser as the teams went in level at the break. However, Antonio put West Ham back in front before Aguerd turned from hero to villain when he got sent-off in the 67th minute. Chelsea piled on the pressure but a late penalty from Paqueta sealed the victory for the Hammers. Nayef Aguerd will miss the trip to Brighton through suspension but West Ham have no fresh injury concerns to deal with.
Predicted Lineup – Areola (GK), Coufal, Zouma, Emerson, Ogbonna, Ward-Prowse, Souček, Paquetá, Antonio, Benrahma & Bowen
Starting Lineups

*Lineups are usually announced 1hr before kick-off
Player to Watch: Pervis Estupinan
Brighton's Ecuadorian full-back has really impressed in the early stages of the new season, particularly going forward.
The 25-year-old has become a must-have in any Premier League fantasy football team this season having scored and provided assists in the opening two games of the season.
We're expecting Brighton to have the majority of the ball this weekend against West Ham and can see the Seagulls' full-back having plenty to do in the West Ham half, putting in crosses and getting shots off whenever he gets the chance.
