Premier League 2024-2025: Brighton-West Ham, the likely lineups

Brighton hosts West Ham in the 34th day of the Premier League. Football kicks off at 4 p.m. at the Amex Stadium. Seagulls and Hammers need to regain a victory that they have been missing for 5 and 6 league days respectively: the former still hope for a place in the European cups, 9 lengths away at the moment, while the latter are +15 on the relegation zone.

Hurzeler is expected to confirm Welbeck as an offensive reference, supported by Minteh, O’Riley and Mitoma in the three-quarter. The infirmary, however, remains full, with Igor, Kadioglu, Milner, Veltman, Steele, Rutter, Lamptey and Webster remaining out. Added to these are Joao Pedro, who has been stopped for disqualification, and a van Hecke still in strong doubt.

Potter, however, could opt for a 4-2-3-1, relying on Bowen, Kudus and Paquetà to support Füllkrug. Antonio and Summerville will not be available, while the conditions of Wan-Bissaka, Cresswell and Alvarez remain in high doubt. Also absent will be Evan Ferguson, who is unavailable against the team that owns his tag.

Probable lineups

Brighton (4-2-3-1): Verbruggen; Wieffer, Cashin, Dunk, Estupinan; Baleba, Hinshelwood; Minteh, O’Riley, Mitoma; Welbeck. Coach: Hurzeler.

West Ham (4-2-3-1): Areola; Coufal, Todibo, Kilman, Scarles; Soler, Ward-Prowse; Bowen, Kudus, Paqueta; Fullkrug. Coach: Potter.
