Brighton Preview – Can Brighton hold their own?
Brighton will be pleased to have avoided relegation in this season’s Premier League campaign as The Seagulls hold an unassailable 10-point cushion over the bottom three but in reality not much has changed since the south coast club sacked former manager Chris Hughton.
The appointment of current coach, Graham Potter, was supposed to inject an increase in goals and a more attacking approach but Brighton have scored just 18 goals in 17 home matches to date this term and they’ve managed just one win out of their last six matches overall.
That win came in the shape of a 2-0 home win over an inconsistent Leeds United outfit but defeats to Manchester United, Sheffield United and Wolves suggest that the hosts could struggle against a high-flying West Ham outfit.
West Ham Preview – Can West Ham stay in race?
West Ham dropped out of the top five in the Premier League following a 1-0 defeat at home to Everton which became West Ham’s third defeat in four matches as David Moyes’s team desperately look to stay in the race for a top five finish.
Even if The Hammers miss out on European football next season it’s been a very successful season for West Ham who have been challenging for the top five for the majority of the season and this campaign has been in stark contrast to previous seasons.
Results away from home haven’t been too bad as West Ham have lost just three of their last 10 away matches which includes five wins with victories at Everton, Crystal Palace, Aston Villa, Wolves and Burnley.
