Fabian Hurzeler drops four Brighton players v West Ham - confirmed team news
West Ham vs Brighton in the Premier League from the London Stadium - 7.30pm
Brighton boss Fabian Hurzeler made some tough decision for their away clash at West Ham.
The German opted for an experienced XI as the likes of James Milner, Danny Welbeck, Joel Veltman and Lewis Dunk all made the starting line-up. Veltman starts for the first time since September ahead of Mats Wieffer, who is absent from the matchday squad.
The Seagulls have lacked consistency this term and have slipped to 12th in the Premier League after last Saturday's 2-1 loss at Arsenal.
Flying winger Yankuba Minteh is also recalled to the starting XI after his impressive showing from the bench at Arsenal.
Diego Coppola, Jack Hinshelwood, Brajan Gruda and Georginio Rutter all drop to the bench.
Japan star Kaoru Mitoma missed Saturday's game to Arsenal through illness but is fit enough for the bench tonight. Winger Solly March, who has struggled with long term knee issues, is not quite ready to return.

Brighton XI: Verbruggen, Dunk, Van Hecke, Veltman, Kadioglu, Ayari, Milner, De Cuyper, Minteh, Gomez, Welbeck. Subs: Steele, Gruda, Rutter, Hinshelwood, Watson, Boscagli, Mitoma, Coppola, Kostoulas.
