Two games played, eight goals scored and six points acquired. It’s been an incredible start to the season for Brighton who seem to be even stronger this campaign despite losing key players Alexis Mac Allister, Robert Sanchez and Moisés Caicedo. Roberto de Zerbi’s side play an entertaining brand of possession football and have looked at their clinical best in consecutive 4-1 victories over Luton Town and Wolves.
In the demolition of Wolves at Molineaux, Kaoru Mitoma scored a wonderful solo goal, Pervis Estupinan added a simple second and Solly March fired a brace. But it wasn’t just the goalscorers who excelled, 19-year-old Paraguayan Julio Enciso was unplayable, while Lewis Dunk expertly marshalled the defence.
The Amex will be absolutely bouncing when West Ham arrive but it could prove to be Brighton’s toughest game of the season thus far. The Hammers drew with Bournemouth on the opening weekend of the new season and followed that up with a rousing 3-1 win over big-spending Chelsea at the London Stadium.
Manager David Moyes may have lost influential midfielder Declan Rice, but new signing James Ward-Prowse proved his worth with an array of excellent set-pieces and Brazilian ace Lucas Paqueta showed glimpses of brilliance as he continues to excel after an impressive first season in English soccer. Striker Michail Antonio will also be a major threat, having bullied Chelsea’s defence all game and fired a first league goal of the season.
Line-ups
Brighton XI: Verbruggen, Milner, Webster, Dunk, Estupinan, Gross, Gilmour, March, Ferguson, Mitoma, Welbeck
West Ham XI: Areola, Coufal, Zouma, Ogbonna, Emerson Palmieri, Soucek, Ward-Prowse, Bowen, Lucas Paqueta, Alvarez, Antonio
It promises to be an exciting encounter on the south coast as heading into the weekend, Brighton sit top of the table and West Ham are in sixth. Neither side has tasted defeat yet this season so you definitely won’t want to miss today's Brighton vs West Ham live stream.
