“Expected” | Early Team News | West Ham vs Brighton | OneFootball

West Ham today host Brighton in the Premier League hoping to build on 2 matches unbeaten.

Julen Lopetegui is expected to be in the dugout despite the loss of his father in the week, however he’ll know this a big match that has the potential to make the league table look more palatable.

Brighton themselves haven’t been in great form of late, so West Ham will see this as a big opportunity, especially ahead of Southampton as the next fixture.

Emerson returns for the Hammers today following suspension, however Carlos Soler is now the next to miss out due to too many yellow cards this season so far.

Question marks remain over Jean Clair-Todibo following his recent toe injury, however Niclas Fullkrug could make his first start in the Premier League.

Danny Welbeck is missing for the visitors however Joel Veltman is back available for the Seagulls.
