The West Ham United lineup that should start against Brighton

West Ham United continue their festive Premier League schedule when they host struggling Brighton at the London Stadium on Sunday.

The Hammers' visitors come into the game just two points off the relegation zone and on the back of a dismal 1-1 draw at home with Premier League basement boys Sheffield United.

For Moyes' side, on the other hand, things have been going pretty well of late. West Ham currently sit comfortbaly in mid-table, just four points adrift of the top six. The Scotsman will want to find consistency though, and a home tie against Graham Potter's Brighton could be just the place to start.

1. Goalkeeper & Defenders

Lukasz Fabianski (GK) - The former Arsenal man has established himself in the Premier League since leaving the Emirates, and is now firm favourite between the sticks at West Ham - a sure starter.

Vladimir Coufal (RB) - The summer signing has been one of the standout performers in this West Ham team recently.

Issa Diop (CB) - With Moyes opting to switch to a four at the back formation, Diop will likely to come back into the side for this one, having been dropped for Fabian Blabuena on Monday night.

Angelo Ogbonna (CB) - The Italian has been the constant in the centre of defence this season, appearing in all 14 league games thus far. He's a guaranteed starter.

Aaron Cresswell (LB) - As Arthur Masuaku remains out of contention, Moyes will continue with four at the back, and West Ham mainstay Cresswell will feature on the left.

2. Midfielders

Declan Rice (CM) - Another permanent fixture in the West Ham side, Rice has the fourth highest tackles and interceptions (62) in the league this season, making him crucial to the side.

Thomas Soucek (CM) - The Czech international has become a fan favourite at West Ham, and will look to build on his three Premier League goals this campaign.

Jarrod Bowen (RM) - The winger has become a mainstay in the Hammers side and will look to improve on his six goal contributions so far in the league.

Said Benrahma (CAM) - Having been left out against Chelsea, the Algerian could come back into the team in place of Mark Noble, who failed to make an impact in that 3-0 loss.

Pablo Fornals (LM) - The Spaniard is another who has played in all of his team's Premier League matches so far, and will likely continue his run in the starting XI.

3. Striker

Sebastien Haller (ST) - The striker hasn't had the smoothest of careers at the London Stadium, but has found the net three times this season, scoring a couple of scorchers along the way. He'll get another chance on Sunday afternoon.
