Match previews

West Ham v Brighton: match preview

West Ham are under immense pressure before hosting Brighton. They are winless in five attempts against Graham Potter’s side and could be in the bottom three by the end of the weekend. But while Michail Antonio is out with a hamstring problem, the arrival of Tomas Soucek has raised spirits. The midfielder could make his debut against Brighton, who also have relegation concerns after a bad run. Jacob Steinberg
