Bought at a high price by the vice-champion of England (116 M euros), the international midfielder also quickly established himself in North London. In the east, his departure made it possible to replenish the coffers… and to build a balanced team. So much so that his former coach David Moyes says: “His sale allowed us to become a stronger team. With the money from the transaction, we have strengthened the team significantly and the results are there to prove it.”

In the absence of Kai Havertz, suspended, it is the Belgian Leandro Trossard who will take his place in the middle of the locals’ 4-3-3, alongside captain Martin Odegaard and former Hammer Declan Rice. Up front, Mikel Arteta renews his confidence in his Martinelli-Jesus-Saka trio. Opposite, West Ham will count on their men in form up front, starting with Jarrod Bowen and Mohammed Kudus. Lucas Paqueta and James Ward-Prowse will be responsible for distributing the right balls in the midfield.

Unsure due to back pain, Richarlison is present at the forefront of Tottenham’s 4-2-3-1. And this is excellent news for Spurs, whose revival coincides with the return but above all the newfound success of their Brazilian striker, author of four goals in his last three matches. Injured during his team’s dark month of November (4 defeats, 1 draw), the former Everton player finally seems to live up to the London club’s investment (60 million euros) after a first season far from expectations ( 1 goal, 3 assists in the league last year).

Brighton in the trough of the wave

Winner of OM (1-0) and incidentally their Europa League group in mid-December, Brighton have not won a Premier League match for almost a month (2 draws, 1 defeat).

As a result, the Seagulls find themselves dropped to 9th place, 9 points behind their evening opponent, solid 5th.
