Brighton could be without up to seven players for their Premier League clash with West Ham United tomorrow afternoon.

West Ham head to the south coast for a three o’clock kick-off tomorrow, looking to end our 11-game winless run against Brighton.

The Hammers have never beaten the Seagulls in the Premier League and our last win over them came back in 2012 in the Championship.

And it seems as though tomorrow might just be our best chance to get that monkey off our back. Brighton boss Roberto De Zerbi has just been handed a one-game touchline ban for the game.

They could be missing numerous key players for the match against the Hammers as well…

Brighton could be without seven players for West Ham clash

According to Ben Dinnery, an injury expert who writes for Premier Injuries, Roberto De Zerbi could be without seven players for the Hammers clash tomorrow.

It is suggested that Jakub Moder, Levi Colwill, Enock Mwepu and Adam Lallana are all ruled out.

Meanwhile, Solly March has a 50% chance of featuring against West Ham, whilst Billy Gilmour and Pervis Estupinan are rated at 25% to play a part in the game tomorrow.

Even if those three players are ready to play some part in the match, they surely won’t be fit enough to start the contest.

And that’s great news for the Hammers.

David Moyes’s men absolutely have to take a positive result with them away from the south coast tomorrow.

And West Ham will have a much greater chance of beating Brighton if the hosts are without those seven players mentioned above.
