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):
Areola

Mavropanos  Kilman  Todibo

Walker Peters    Fernandes   Potts   Scarles

Paqueta 

Bowen   Summerville
Subs: Hermansen, Myers, Golambeckis, Kante, Rodriguez, Magassa, Earthy, Soucek, Wilson

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)

Scarles isnt good enough for the Prem imo but Kilman and Paqueta are liabilities too

For me Paqueta did that with intent. Why?
Betting
Released if relegated 
Hmm

Lucky. Are Paqueta and Kilman on a fellow relegation rivals payroll? Always wondered why Paqueta ends up marking the oppositions tallest player at corners. Bound to end in tears, and Kilman must be the biggest waste of 40 million in the history of football!  For me either Magassa or Potts needs to just sit as the midfield are far to flat. When Brighton break they are straight onto our back four with our midfield trying to get back. Need a holder there.

I said weeks ago that Paqueta is a liability. That is the most ridiculous rugby tackle in the box.

No way we will get out of relegation zone with the keystone cops in defence. Our undoing every game.
