On Tuesday evening, West Ham will aim to enhance their spot in the top six of the Premier League by taking on Brighton at home.
The team led by David Moyes had a productive holiday season in the league, achieving remarkable victories against Manchester United and Arsenal, propelling them to sixth place in the rankings.
Following another defeat for Erik ten Hag's team prior to the start of the new year, this time against Nottingham Forest, the Hammers would increase their lead over the Red Devils by five points and move within four points of the top four if they emerged victorious.
On the other hand, Brighton can advance past both teams and secure the sixth spot if they manage to replicate their outstanding victory against Tottenham by winning their away game in London.
