WEST HAM return to Premier League action with a mouth-watering clash against in-form Brighton and they’ll be desperate for three points.
Former Championship side Nottingham Forest forced the Hammers to swallow a bitter pill by marginally beating them at the City Ground last Saturday.
And this result came off the back of a disappointing 2-0 defeat by Champions of England Manchester City on the opening weekend.
However, spirits have been lifted since then as £30.5 million signing Gianluca Scamacca inspired David Moyes’ side to a midweek 3-1 in their Europa Conference League playoff.
But Brighton are yet to lose a game this season which includes embarrassing Manchester United at Old Trafford.

- West Ham will be entertaining Brighton on Sunday, August 21.
- It is scheduled to kick-off at 2pm UK time.

But the Hammers boss is expected to bring the likes of Aaron Cresswell, Kurt Zouma, Lukasz Fabianski, Declan Rice and Michail Antonio all back into the fold.
Defensive veteran Angelo Ogbonna will also be pushing for a start having got 65 minutes under his belt after being side-lined since last season.
Elsewhere, Brighton manager Graham Potter will only have to continue without the services of Jakub Moder.
However, Potter could have a selection headache on whether he hands summer signing Pervis Estupinan his full debut at wing-back against West Ham.
