Est Ham is hoping to bounce back after losing in the London derby to Chelsea in the home of Brighton on Sunday.
David Moyes’ side might feel tough after a 3-0 strike against the Blues that flattered Frank Lampard’s men, but there’s no time to dwell, with the Christmas game roster fulfilled.
Moyes’ men have had a successful start to the season, but the crowded nature of the Premier League table means they still have to perform next week to ensure they end the calendar year in the top half.
Brighton, meanwhile, are desperate for the results, failing to make full use of favorable matches against Fulham and Sheffield United, taking just two points from clashes with their potential relegation rivals.
