Brighton & Hove Albion have never lost in eight Premier League meetings with West Ham United (W3 D5), the most a side has faced the Hammers without defeat in the competition.
West Ham are unbeaten in their last seven midweek (Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday) Premier League matches (W4 D3), winning each of the last four in a row. The Hammers had lost nine of their previous 11 such contests prior to this run (W2).
Each of the last five Premier League meetings between West Ham and Brighton have finished level. Only two fixtures in the competition’s history have had longer runs of consecutive draws – Aston Villa versus West Ham (seven between 1998 and 2001) and Birmingham City against Liverpool (7 between 2005 and 2010).
Having failed to win any of their first 11 Premier League matches played on Wednesdays (D6 L5), Brighton won their last such outing on this day, beating Liverpool 1-0 at Anfield in February.
