Brighton & Hove Albion travel to the London Stadium on Sunday to take on West Ham United in the Premier League.
Graham Potter's side have struggled to get results this season, and that sees them in 17th spot in the Premier League table, just two points above the relegation zone.
In their last game, they huffed and puffed before eking out a 1-1 draw against bottom team Sheffield United. Despite playing against ten men for a bulk of that game, Brighton needed a late leveler from Danny Welbeck to come out with a point.
For West Ham, a decent run of form was halted by a reality check at Stamford Bridge last Monday night. Despite giving a decent account of themselves, West Ham were beaten 3-0 thanks to a brace from Tammy Abraham which added to an early goal from Thiago Silva.
The Hammers also drew at home against ten-man Crystal Palace before that, so David Moyes will look at this game as one where his side can regain their form.
