West Ham’s hopes of playing Champions League football next season are almost over after Leicester, Chelsea and Liverpool each picked up some very big wins recently while the Irons have lost some key matches.
The Irons are also under pressure from Tottenham and Everton for a place in the Europa League so they need a big finish starting with Saturday evening’s match against Brighton.
The Seagulls have not lost to West Ham in the Premier League but David Moyes continues to get key players back from injury including Declan Rice who should start at the London Stadium and give West Ham the boost they need to win at 13/10 with bet365*.

Brighton vs West Ham Betting Odds:
David Moyes highlighted last weekend’s match against Everton as the most difficult fixture remaining for West Ham.
Everton did indeed make life very tough during their 1-0 win at the London Stadium but Brighton are capable of playing every bit as well albeit without quite as defensive an outlook as Carlo Ancelotti took.
Graham Potter continues to earn a whole lot of praise for the way Brighton have played this season but they do still have issues finishing their chances.
Rice’s return into the heart of midfield and Angelo Ogbonna’s return at centre-back will make West Ham more solid than they have been in recent weeks so it could be worth backing under 2.5 goals at 10/11 with Betfair.

West Ham’s problem against Everton was an inability to break the opposition down.
Everton did a good job of closing the space down and leaving no space for their creative players to have much of an impact.
Moyes may feel he needs a more direct approach against Brighton and therefore bring back Jarrod Bowen into the starting XI.
He can play anywhere across the front three and will pose the Brighton defence problems so back Bowen to score first at 9/1 with Betfred.
