West Ham vs. Brighton match preview
David Moyes secured his first Arsenal win of his career in his 23rd away game here. West Ham pulled off a huge shock by beating title contender Arsenal 2-0 at the Emirates. Tomas Soucek scored the controversial opener before Mavropanos sealed the win with a brilliant second-half header.
It was West Ham’s third consecutive win in the Premier League. David Moyes’ army really impressed when defeating two big boys, Manchester United and Arsenal, in the Christmas rounds. As a result, West Ham has risen to 6th place in the Premier League table.
However, the past period has not been entirely positive for West Ham. Lucas Paqueta picked up an injury in the first half against Arsenal, and this is a huge loss. The Brazilian has contributed to five goals in West Ham’s last four home games in the Premier League.
In addition, manager David Moyes could lose Mohammed Kudus to CAN. The Ghanaian is expected to finish the game against Brighton before flying back to Africa. But manager Chris Hughton wants the player to return earlier than planned. Kudus has contributed nine home goals for West Ham this season, more than any other player.
While West Ham are brimming with confidence, Brighton are also in a state of euphoria. The Seagulls have just beaten Tottenham 4-2 at the Amex Stadium. It was a game where Joao Pedro contributed two goals from the penalty spot. The Brazilian star was a particularly important contributor to Brighton with his ability to kick 11 meters.He has scored in all eight penalty situations for Brighton this season.
If they win the next match, Brighton will overtake West Ham to take sixth place in the table. This will give Brighton more motivation to aim for a full three points at the London Stadium.
The big problem for Brighton at the moment is that the number of injuries is increasing. Solly March, Tariq Lamptey, Adam Webster, Simon Adingra, Kaoru Mitoma, Joel Veltman, Julio Enciso, and Ansu Fati are the injured players. Captain Lewis Dunk is suspended for the next match after receiving all five yellow cards. It was clear that Brighton’s forces had too much trouble in this match.
In the first leg, West Ham showed superiority with a 3-1 victory. It was the victory that ended West Ham’s 12-game winless streak against Brighton in the Premier League. And next game will be a chance for West Ham to win both legs against Brighton for the first time since the 2011/12 season.
West Ham’s home advantage is also on full display, with a 3-match winning streak at London Stadium in all competitions. Brighton have only kept three clean sheets away from home in the Premier League this season. The holes in defense will make it difficult for Brighton to pick up points against West Ham.
