Key Factors
The confirmed absence of Jarrod Bowen (foot injury) and Lucas Paquetá (groin) deprives West Ham of their primary creative and clinical outlets, making it highly unlikely they can outscore a Brighton side that has avoided defeat in 15 of their last 16 Premier League encounters.
West Ham’s defensive crisis, compounded by 11 home league defeats in 2025 and a three-game losing streak at the London Stadium, suggests a total loss of home advantage that Brighton’s high-pressing system is historically designed to exploit.
With West Ham winless in seven matches and struggling under Nuno Espírito Santo's management, Brighton’s superior head-to-head record and the Hammers' lack of defensive depth (missing Todibo) point to the visitors ending their own five-game slump at West Ham's expense.
Injuries & Absentees
West Ham: Jarrod Bowen (foot, out until March 2026), Jean-Clair Todibo (thigh), Lucas Paquetá (groin), Mads Hermansen (groin). Brighton: Mats Wieffer (knee/muscle injury).
