Premier League
3pm Saturday

Brighton have posted just one league win in 14 attempts but they can rediscover some of their early-season enthusiasm by beating West Ham.

The second half of the season can be tough for promoted clubs but Brighton have been busy in the transfer market and picked up a decent 1-1 draw at Southampton on Wednesday.

They can approach this weekend with more confidence and have a great chance of toppling the injury-hit Hammers, who are not the same side without Manuel Lanzini and Marko Arnautovic.
