Well, it's the last game of 2025 in a year that few will look back on with favour or fondness. Wrapping it up are bogey-side Brighton, who after a last minute outrageous goal in the away fixture cost us a vital victory, will fancy themselves (doesn't everyone) heading to the London Stadium.
It's another of those must win games for West Ham, and if the recovery doesn't actually commence at some point, we're fucked.
There's been no press conference for this game, so not much to report on player availability wise. Fullkrug is training with Milan already so he's not available. Guilherme seems to have been ostracised for some reason despite a moderatly promising last cameo against Liverpool. And Igor it would appear it's been decided isn't up to task. Diouf and Wan Bissaka remain at the AFCON tournament.
Predicted Line Up:
Brighton play with a large number of overloads on the ball, and last time out we shifted to a back three quite successfully, so I'd expect to see something similar again in this game (just to get the natives uber-restless when the defensive looking lineup is announced):
Predicted Result:
It is all starting to feel a bit last chance saloon for West Ham, despite the season still having over half left to run! Lose this game and all hope will feel lost. Brighton though seem to be missing some key players, and this presents us a chance at least. Brighton created almost nothing against us in the first game so I expect that gameplan and pattern to largely repeat...with the outcome to be decided on the basis of how well our Maginot Line holds up to late pressure when Brighton come on strong.
Score: West Ham 1 - 0 Brighton (Bowen)
