Graham Potter will be reluctant to change a winning recipe after such a promising opening-day victory at Watford. Summer signings Neal Maupay, Adam Webster and Aaron Mooy may have to wait for their full debuts as Potter takes charge of his first competitive game in Sussex, while West Ham will be looking for a reaction after a humbling defeat to champions Manchester City. “I’m relishing it,” Potter said. “They are a tough side who’ll be looking to push on.” Ben Fisher
