THE LOWDOWN

BRIGHTON

• Brighton are finishing the season with a flourish having accrued eight points from their last four Premier League fixtures, also beating the likes of Arsenal, Tottenham and Man Utd since the start of April.
• Enock Mwepu has been passed fit for this match having not featured across the past week, but Jeremy Sarmiento will not make it and Jakub Moder is a long-term absentee.

WEST HAM

• West Ham could yet finish in the Europa League come the end of the season should they gain three points here and Man Utd fail to win away at Crystal Palace so the Hammers have plenty to play for here.
• Said Benrahma’s foot injury has improved and could feature while Issa Diop faces a race against time, but Angelo Ogbonna is the only confirmed absentee.

THE PREDICTION

An entertaining contest is expected on the South Coast when taking into account the motivations of both teams. Brighton are on the back of having scored ten goals across their most recent four matches and will want to finish with an attacking flourish at home, whilst anything less than three points for West Ham sees their Europa League ambitions come to an end. With that in mind, each side are likely to play expansive games, pushing bodies forward even if it leaves them potentially vulnerable from a defensive standpoint. Regardless of who comes out on top, back both teams to score.

Tip: BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE
