Brighton entertains the new-look West Ham United. The latter, hoping to open their account in goals and points. The former, unable to stop putting the ball at the back of the net.

A new manager in the home end and an array of new faces in the away end. Potter will be hoping his Seagulls continue to flock together as a team and take another three points, this time on home soil.

Pellegrini will be hoping for a better outcome compared to his side’s opening nightmare. Always a tough ask for any side to go up against the world-class  Man City, but a 5-0 loss is inexcusable on home turf.

This fixture has Brighton taking all the spoils on most occasions, with a point shared in their most recent confrontation. This being the Hammers best result from the last four outings versus the Seagulls.

Hard to decide for a winner in this one, but the Hammers look like they need more than a couple of games to get things right. A Brighton win is hard on the cards at the American Express Community Stadium.

Match prediction
Brighton 3-2 West Ham
