Brighton hope to make their midweek madness a mere bump in the road when West Ham United visit the Amex Stadium on Sunday.
The Seagulls staged a Wednesday thriller with Aston Villa that ended their four-match unbeaten run in the Premier League, as they conceded four times after taking a 2-0 lead en route to a 4-3 loss that saw an unlikely brace from Jan Paul van Hecke.

That loss stopped Brighton from leapfrogging Villa and kept Fabian Hurzeler’s team from a place in the top four.
Now they’ll meet a West Ham side which has a day’s less rest due to a Thursday match at Manchester United. The Irons are a surprise bottom three side but had a three-match unbeaten run heading into Week 13. Can they build another?

Brighton vs West Ham prediction
The injury list asks a lot of Brighton, but they still scored thrice against one of the division’s best defensive units in Aston Villa. West Ham is no such unit, even if Nuno Espirito Santo’s managed improved performances from the group. With the gap in prep time, Brighton should be able to get the job done. Brighton 2-0 West Ham.
