THE LOWDOWN

WEST HAM

  • It has not been the start to the Premier League campaign that David Moyes would have wanted as their 1-0 defeat to promoted outfit Nottingham Forest makes them the only side yet to find the net after two games.
  • Although new signing Gianluca Scamacca marked his first West Ham start with a goal in Europa Conference League action on Thursday, David Moyes has indicated that he will continue to ease the Italian into his Premier League side so Michail Antonio should start once more.

BRIGHTON

  • Brighton were thwarted by an inspired Nick Pope in their goalless draw with Newcastle last weekend as Graham Potter was left to rue his side’s missed opportunities, but there wasn’t much else to fault about their performance in general.
  • New signing Pervis Estupinan will be in the squad for the trip to the London Stadium, with only long-term absentee Jakub Moder currently missing from action.

THE PREDICTION

West Ham currently have the unwanted record of being the only team yet to find the net in the Premier League this season, a record that boss David Moyes will be keen to put to bed here, but Brighton will of course have other ideas. Graham Potter’s men have been excellent so far, and can consider themselves unlucky not to be on maximum points with their goalless draw against Newcastle last week not doing their performance justice. The hosts will surely improve after their loss to Forest but they will find it tough to break down Brighton, so under 2.5 goals is the tip.

TIP: UNDER 2.5 GOALS
