Brighton will be aiming for their third win in a row when they welcome West Ham at Falmer Stadium for Saturday's Premier League encounter.
Both teams are unbeaten after two matchdays but Roberto De Zerbi's Seagulls have a 100 percent record to maintain after 4-1 wins over Luton Town and Wolves.
Whereas David Moyes' side were held to a 1-1 draw before the Hammers garnered a 3-1 win against Chelsea despite going a man down.

Paraguayan forward Julio Enciso is injured with a torn meniscus, and Polish midfielder Jakub Moder with a cruciate ligament rupture, with both of them looking at a long road to recovery.
Adam Webster and Adam Lallana made their returns from injuries, with the former likely to partner skipper Lewis Dunk at center-back.
Summer signing Joao Pedro can be recalled in the XI in place of Enciso, but there are a few battles for places elsewhere.
Either one of Danny Welbeck or Evan Ferguson should start up front, while Mahmoud Dahoud faces competition from Billy Gilmour to start alongside Pascal Gross in the middle.
Brighton possible XI: Steele; Milner, Webster, Dunk, Estupinan; Gross, Dahoud; March, Pedro, Mitoma; Welbeck.
| Position | Players |
|---|---|
| Goalkeepers: | Verbruggen, Steele, McGill |
| Defenders: | Webster, Dunk, Igor, Van Hecke, Estupinan, Lamptey, Veltman |
| Midfielders: | Dahoud, Gilmour, Grob, Alzate, Milner, Buonanotte, Lallana, Moran, Mitoma, March |
| Forwards: | Pedro, Ferguson, Welbeck, Zeqiri, Adingra |
Nayef Aguerd is suspended after his sending-off in the Chelsea win, with either Thilo Kehrer or Angelo Ogbonna to deputise alongside Kurt Zouma at the heart of the defense.
New signing Konstantinos Mavropanos will have to wait for his club debut on account of a knock, while fellow summer recruit Edson Alvarez also makes for an option at the back if need be.
Joined from Southampton, James Ward-Prowse made his full debut last weekend and can see himself keeping his place in midfield.
West Ham possible XI: Areola; Coufal, Zouma, Kehrer, Emerson; Soucek, Ward-Prowse; Bowen, Paqueta, Benrahma; Antonio.
| Position | Players |
|---|---|
| Goalkeepers: | Areola, Fabianski, Anang |
| Defenders: | Zouma, Kehrer, Ogbonna, Palmieri, Cresswell, Johnson, Coufal |
| Midfielders: | Alvarez, Soucek, Coventry, Ward-Prowse, Paqueta, Fornals, Cornet |
| Forwards: | Ings, Antonio, Mubama, Benrahma, Bowen |
The last five times that the two sides faced each other indicate Brighton's recent dominance, with West Ham looking for their first win in the fixture since April 2012 - a 6-0 win in the Championship.
