The Hammers are looking to string together some consistency after responding to their dismal defeat away at Leicester earlier this month with a win and a draw.

Julen Lopetegui’s side beat Wolves 2-1 before drawing 1-1 with Bournemouth on Monday night.

Still, their task against the Seagulls – who have never actually lost at the London Stadium – has been made all the more difficult following a recent suspension.

Midfielder Carlos Soler has started to impress of late but will be ruled out of the game after picking up a booking to take his tally to five for the season against Bournemouth. Emerson Palmieri, however, could return after sitting out of Monday’s clash.

Jean-Clair Todibo is likely to miss out too following a groin injury.

Michail Antonio underwent surgery on a lower limb fracture sustained in a road traffic accident earlier this month.

West Ham predicted XI: Fabianski; Wan-Bissaka, Mavropanos, Kilman, Emerson, Alvarez; Summerville, Soucek, Paqueta, Kudus; Bowen

Suspended: Soler

Time and date: 3pm GMT on Saturday 21 December

Venue: London Stadium
