Brighton and West Ham are both in need of points as they chase very different objectives in this Premier League clash.
The Seagulls have launched a surprise assault on the European spots this season, but an undeserved 1-0 defeat to Fulham last time out was damaging, as it saw them drop behind the Cottagers into eighth.
Roberto De Zerbi’s men bounced back with a 1-0 FA Cup win away to Stoke in midweek, and they will now be looking to close the four-point gap to Fulham and Liverpool above them.
West Ham are in the thick of a relegation scrap and go into the weekend in 16th place, two points above the drop zone.
David Moyes’ side earned a morale-boosting 4-0 win over Nottingham Forest last time out in the league, but come into this one on the back of a 3-1 FA Cup exit at Manchester United.
Kick-off is at 3.00pm GMT. Make sure you know how to watch the Premier League wherever you are.

VPN guide
Use a VPN to watch Premier League football from outside your country
If you’re out of the country for a Premier League fixture, then you won't be able to watch on your domestic streaming service as usual. The broadcaster knows where you are because of your IP address (boo!) and blocks you from watching it. You can use a VPN to get around that, though, without resorting to illegal feeds you’ve found on Reddit.
A Virtual Private Network (VPN), assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs, creates a private connection between your device and t'internet, meaning the service can’t work out where you are and will let you watch. And all the info going between is entirely encrypted, anonymous and safe – and that's a result.
There are plenty of good-value options out there. For the Premier League, FourFourTwo currently recommends:
