THE PREDICTION
After only managing to scramble a 1-1 draw with rock-bottom Sheffield Utd, Brighton are starting to look very much over their shoulder with the Seagulls potentially kicking off against West Ham inside the bottom three should Fulham win vs Southampton on Boxing Day. The Hammers may be coming off the back of a 3-0 defeat at the hands of Chelsea, but David Moyes’ men have enjoyed a satisfactory season so far and have picked up four wins from their most recent seven league matches. Brighton’s struggles largely stem from the front, having scored just three goals over the course of their last five games. With home advantage in their favour, West Ham will be confident of not just securing victory here, but also registering their fifth clean sheet of this season’s Premier League.
