Brighton vs West Ham prediction 07.12.2025 | Premier League

Brighton come into Sunday's Premier League contest looking to bounce back from a remarkable 4:3 defeat against Aston Villa on Wednesday. Fabian Hurzeler's side raced into a two-goal lead before four the Villains fought back to secure a sensational road win at the Amex.

The Seagulls had enjoyed a superb run in home games, picking up four wins and two draws before Villa broke their unbeaten record at the AMEX this season. 

Despite their midweek setback, ten points picked up from four previous PL games leave the home side seventh in the division, just two points behind fourth-placed Chelsea. 

Head coach Hurzeler has five potential absentees this weekend. Adam Webster, Solly March and James Milner remain sidelined while Karou Mitomo and Giorgino Rutter will be assessed closer to kick-off.

West Ham make the trip to Brighton after picking up a 1:1 draw against Manchester United earlier this week. Soungoutou Magassa's 83rd minute goal secured a valuable road point for the Hammers,

Nuno Espirito Santo's men have struggled to find much winning form this season but have shown some signs of improvement in recent weeks. West Ham won two and lost just one of their last five Premier League matches.

Defensive vulnerabilities but an increased threat in attack has led to several high-scoring outcomes in the past month. Five of the Hammers' last six games finished with BTTS, while four of those games also saw at least three goals scored. 

Head coach Espirito Santo has three potential absentees this weekend. Oliver Scarles and Crysencio Summerville are both unavailable while Łukasz Fabiański is also likely to miss out.
