They have failed to score in four matches during that run and only once – at Liverpool – have they netted more than one goal.
It is 13/8 they are blanked again while the Hammers are 1/1 to score two or more goals which they have managed in half of their home fixtures in the top flight this term.
Talking Tactics
Hammers boss David Moyes prefers a 4-2-3-1 formation with Michail Antonio the focal point in attack.
Jarrod Bowen and Manuel Lanzini, both second-half substitutes at the Etihad Stadium, could come into Moyes’ thinking to start with Said Benrahma possibly one to make way.
Brighton have changed their system a few times this season, ranging from a 4-2-3-1 to a 3-5-2.
It was the former against Leeds, when goalkeeper Robert Sanchez was back from suspension while striker Neal Maupay returned after two games as a substitute, only to miss a sitter.
Tariq Lamptey played in a more advanced role against Leeds and was a constant threat while Solly March shone in a late cameo and could get the nod here.
Goalscorer Odds
Antonio has now gone five games in all competitions without a goal for West Ham but is 7/2 to open the scoring and 6/4 to return to the scoresheet in West Ham v Brighton betting tips.
Bowen could start having been dropped to the bench against Manchester City and is 13/2 and 13/5 respectively while Lanzini is 10/3 to follow up his consolation goal at the Etihad Stadium.
Brighton have failed to score in four of their last seven matches but Leandro Trossard has netted their last two goals and he is 7/1 to break the deadlock and 14/5 to strike once more.
Both teams are a threat at set-pieces so the likes of Tomas Soucek (7/2), Craig Dawson (7/1), Shane Duffy (9/1) and Lewis Dunk (10/1) are worth considering in the anytime market.
