THE LOWDOWN
BRIGHTON
- Roberto De Zerbi’s Brighton and Hove Albion reached the quarter-finals of the FA Cup in midweek with a 1-0 win at Stoke City. The Seagulls have won one of their last four matches in the Premier League, though, after a minor dip in form.
- Danny Welbeck returned in the midweek cup win and is ready for selection, while Pervis Estupinan and Solly March have both been passed fit for the visit of The Hammers.
WEST HAM
- West Ham United led but lost 3-1 at Old Trafford against Manchester United in the cup the other day. David Moyes’ side earned a much-needed 4-0 hammering of Nottingham Forest last weekend as they continue to battle against relegation.
- First-choice goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianksi looks set for a spell on the sidelines after fracturing his cheekbone, while Danny Ings – who scored a brace last week – could come back into the starting XI after being cup-tied for the midweek defeat to Man Utd in the FA Cup.
THE TEAM NEWS
BRIGHTON
PREDICTED XI (4-2-3-1): Sanchez; Veltman, Webster, Dunk, Estupinan; Gross, Caicedo; March, Mac Allister, Mitoma; Ferguson
UNAVAILABLE: Colwill (Injured), Moder (Injured), Lallana (Injured)
QUESTIONABLE: Gilmour (Fitness)
WEST HAM
PREDICTED XI (4-2-3-1): Areola; Johnson, Aguerd, Ogbonna, Emerson; Soucek, Rice; Bowen, Paqueta, Benrahma; Ings
UNAVAILABLE: Fabianski (Injured)
QUESTIONABLE: Zouma (Fitness), Coufal (Injured), Cornet (Fitness)
THE PREDICTION
Since Roberto De Zerbi replaced Graham Potter as Brighton boss, following the latter’s departure to Chelsea, they have been extremely impressive and entertaining. His 16 Premier League matches in charge have consisted of 52 goals. Given that, as well as their slight dip in form of late in the league, another game in which both teams score would appear likely. That likelihood is increased when considering the fact that West Ham United’s 3-1 defeat to Manchester United in midweek means they have scored in nine of their ten matches in 2023 across all competitions.
TIP: BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE
