Championship
TEAM NEWS
Gonzalo Jara Reyes and keeper Steve Harper should make their Brighton debuts following loan moves from West Brom and Newcastle respectively.
Winger Will Buckley (hamstring) is back in the squad but Spanish midfielder Vicente (thigh) is a doubt.
West Ham now have Henri Lansbury (knee) and Matt Taylor (calf) sidelined.
James Tomkins (groin), Carlton Cole (knee), Guy Demel (hamstring), Gary O'Neil (ankle) and goalkeeper Robert Green (knee) are also out.
MATCH FACTS
Head-to-head
• This is the 20th competitive meeting. Brighton have won five of the previous 19, West Ham nine, with five drawn.
• Their most recent meeting was in the third round of the FA Cup in January 2007, when West Ham won 3-0 at Upton Park. But in the league, Brighton are unbeaten in three against them (W2, D1).
• The Hammers' only away league win over Brighton was their first visit in October 1978, when they prevailed 2-1 in the old Second Division.
Brighton & Hove Albion
• Having completed their first six Championship matches without a defeat, Brighton have now played six without a win.
• They have picked up three points out of 18, since a 1-0 triumph away to lowly Bristol City on 10 September.
• Should Gus Poyet's side lose, it would be their second home defeat, and equal the number they suffered in the whole of last season's title-winning campaign in League One.
West Ham United
• West Ham have won one of their last four league games, after completing a seven match unbeaten sequence.
• They are the only club not to have lost a Championship match this season when two or more goals were conceded, although they have lost three by a 1-0 margin, including Tuesday's trip to leaders Southampton.
• If Sam Allardyce's side can add four goals to the 11 netted on the road already this season, it will take their all-time total of league goals scored away from home to 2,000.
Come~~~~ on~~~~ you~~~~ Irons!!!
