A victory for the Hammers would put them five points ahead of the Red Devils and just four points outside of the top four after Erik ten Hag’s team fell again before the new year, this time against Nottingham Forest.

Brighton, meanwhile, has the chance to pass both teams and take the sixth spot if they can build on their convincing 4-2 victory over Tottenham with a victory away in London.

Team updates

Numerous players for both sides are sidelined as a result of injury and international call-ups. Nayef Aguerd, who is leaving for the Africa Cup of Nations, is not available for West Ham, and Mohammed Kudus is awaiting scans before departing to join the Ghanaian camp for the competition. Other injuries include Lucas Paqueta’s injury against Arsenal, and Kurt Zouma’s injury sustained last week against the Hammers means he is running out of time to recover.

In contrast, Brighton lost more players due to injuries sustained by Igor and Facundo Buonanotte during their 4-2 victory against Tottenham last week. With Joel Veltman, Adam Webster, and Tariq Lamptey also sidelined and Lewis Dunk suspended for his fifth yellow card of the season in the same contest, De Zerbi may have to name a patchwork defense. Solly March, Julio Enciso, Kaoru Mitoma, and Ansu Fati are a few of the players that are still out for Brighton.

Expected lineups

Benrahma; Bowen; Soucek, Alvarez, Ward-Prowse, Areola, Coufal, Ogbonna, Mavropanos, and Emerson are the members of the West Ham XI.

Brighton starting lineup: Verbruggen; Lallana, Gross; Ferguson, Pedro; Gilmour, Baleba; Milner, Hinshelwood, Van Hecke, Estupinan.
