David Moyes has urged his West Ham players to “play better, defend better, and score better” after they slipped to a second consecutive defeat with a 1-0 loss at the City Ground last weekend.
Moyes did not hold back in his criticism of his players, describing the defending against Nottingham Forest as “rotten to the core”, and will be desperate to see a response when they host Brighton at the London Stadium on Sunday.
The Seagulls look primed to take advantage of West Ham’s sluggish start to the new campaign as they’ll arrive in east London unbeaten thanks to a draw with Newcastle and a 2-1 victory over crisis-club Man Utd.
Add to that the fact that Sunday’s game is bookended by West Ham’s two-legged Europa League play-off against Viborg and things look even more testing for the hosts.
Graham Potter will have ambitions of challenging the Hammers for one of the European spots this season so a victory this weekend would help emphasise their credentials.

Our prediction: West Ham v Brighton
Playing Thursday, Sunday, Thursday, while you’re searching for form is far from ideal but that’s the position that Moyes and his side find themselves in.
Potter, meanwhile, will be tempted to stick with the same starting XI that earned him a draw against Newcastle and a victory against Man Utd.
West Ham have added depth to their squad this summer but it’s been a bit of a frenzied start to the season for them and their Premier League woes may well continue on Sunday.
Our prediction: West Ham 0-1 Brighton (10/1 at bet365)
