West Ham Team News

After 22 long unsuccessful attempts, David Moyes finally secured an away victory against Arsenal, and West Ham orchestrated an exceptionally impressive defensive spectacle under his leadership. Despite a controversial refereeing decision, the Hammers outplayed Arsenal, and Dinos Mavropanos’s goal further solidified their lead.

West Ham now boasts a fourth consecutive victory, maintaining a clean sheet in all those encounters, and currently sits in sixth place on the table.

Lucas Paqueta left the field due to injury, and the severity of his injury will be known after detailed examinations. In addition to him, several key players, including Michail Antonio and Kurt Zouma, are dealing with injuries, posing challenges for Moyes in team selection. Nayef Aguerd is uncertain due to illness, while two players are gearing up for the African Cup of Nations. Nevertheless, the exact date of their joining their national teams remains uncertain, creating additional uncertainty about their future roles in the team.

Faced with these challenges, West Ham encounters complex dynamics within the team, and Moyes is expected to devise a strategy to maintain a positive momentum and achieve even greater success in the upcoming matches.

Brighton Team News

Arsenal and Tottenham fans on December 28 couldn’t mock each other’s misfortunes. Arsenal failed to break through West Ham, while Tottenham’s defense was torn apart by the rising Seagulls. Two penalties and two brilliant goals led to a significant victory for Brighton, capitalizing on Spurs’ injury crisis.

Brighton currently holds eighth place but could drop to ninth if Newcastle United beats Liverpool on New Year’s Day. Despite success at home, Brighton has only one win in the last seven away games, with no clean sheets in the 2023-24 season. On the other hand, West Ham has not kept a clean sheet in the previous 13 encounters with Brighton but ended a streak of 12 winless games against them.

Injury-hit Brighton faces key player absences, including Lewis Dunk, and coach Roberto De Zerbi must expedite the return of Pervis Estupinan to the starting lineup. Adam Lallana is likely to get an opportunity due to Facundo Buonanotte’s issues.

Injury challenges create uncertainty about the lineup, but De Zerbi is seeking ways to maintain a positive momentum after the victory against Tottenham.
