West Ham United will lock horns with Brighton and Hove Albion at the American Express Community Stadium this Saturday afternoon as they look to secure all three points on the road in the Premier League. The Hammers were held to a 1-1 draw by Southampton recently, so they would be eager to return to winning ways this weekend.
Graham Potter will set his side up in a 4-3-3 formation and could make one change to his first XI for this game. Aaron Wan-Bissaka would have to pass a late fitness test if he wants to feature in this clash at the Amex.
Alphonse Areola will play in between the sticks for West Ham after he conceded one goal in his last league outing. Max Kilman will get a chance to impress alongside Jean-Clair Todibo once again as they focus on keeping a good shape at the back throughout the 90 minutes.
Aaron Wan-Bissaka is a major doubt for this game but should get the nod to start at right-back if he can pass a late fitness test. Emerson Palmieri will fill in on the other side as the left-back. Potter will ask both of them to pick and choose their moments to join in on the attack.
Aaron Cresswell will offer cover for the defensive positions on the bench if he can recover in time for this game.

West Ham would opt for a midfield comprised of Lucas Paqueta, James Ward-Prowse and Carlos Soler as they try to win the 50-50 battles in the middle of the park. All three of them need to be at their best if they want to engineer a few clear-cut chances in the final third.
Tomas Soucek and Guido Rodriguez will have to be content with a place on the bench and might come on to make an impact in the second half if needed.
Mohammed Kudus will hope to put in a good performance on the left flank while Jarrod Bowen hopes to put his pace to good use on the right wing.
Niclas Fullkrug will spearhead West Ham’s attack down the middle. He has to find a way to be a threat in and around the Brighton penalty area.
