"Eventually falling short last season in the race to book another famous European adventure, Brighton were desperate to go one-step further this time around. However, last seen over the weekend falling to a 2-1 loss away at leading title contenders Arsenal, Fabian Hurzeler's side are searching for a much-welcomed Premier League boost. Despite registering 10 points from their four appearances on either side of November's international break, the Seagulls have come crashing back down to earth over the past month."
"However, smelling a golden opportunity here, Brighton will be excited by a dominant record against the relegation scrappers. Despite settling for a 1-1 stalemate when they last welcomed West Ham to the Amex for their reverse Premier League showdown earlier in the month, they have suffered just a sole defeat against the Hammers since way back in 2012. While Nuno Espírito Santo might have only arrived at the London Stadium a couple of months ago, the former Nottingham Forest boss has an almighty job on his hands."
The Premier League festive schedule delivers high-profile Tuesday matches including Arsenal v Aston Villa and Manchester City featuring prominently. West Ham host Brighton at 19:30 BST on Tuesday, December 30. Brighton lost 2-1 away to Arsenal and seek a Premier League boost after collecting 10 points from four matches around the November international break before a poor recent month. Brighton hold a dominant record versus West Ham, drawing 1-1 at the Amex earlier in the month and registering only one defeat to the Hammers since 2012. West Ham have lost 1-0 to Fulham, sit five points adrift of safety, have lost three consecutive league games by an aggregate 7-2, and have earned just three points from their last seven Premier League matches, increasing pressure on manager Nuno Espírito Santo.
