Brighton are playing with house money as they have already set a club record Premier League points tally. They sit just inside the top half on 48 points and will be very keen to avoid being knocked out by Brentford, Crystal Palace, Newcastle and Aston Villa. A win against West Ham seals the deal and a point might do the trick but with four teams chasing it might be wise for Graham Potter’s side to go all guns blazing. They could even jump as high as eighth if results go their way. David Moyes is likely to deploy similar tactics as West Ham will be eager to overhaul Manchester United in sixth and qualify for the Europa League. The form book lies in Brighton’s favour, though, as the Hammers have one win, one draw and five defeats from seven away games in 2022. Graham Searles
