Hope West Ham will be prepared for this game and to end winless top flight against Bogey team, Brighton, who beat Watford 3-0 in opening game so hopefully Pellegrini can convinced his players to work as TEAM, not individual. Cresswell should be dropped and not sure if Anderson is fit by that time. Noble will be out and Wilshire should be fit and hope he performs like he did in pre-season.
Squad:
Fabianski
Fredericks
Bulbuena (c)
Diop
Masuaku
Wilshire
Rice
Fornals
Antonio
Lanzini
Haller
This team is capable to get anything and hope a better performance.

Nicely started Ibbs...I see Arthur Masuaku as a catalyst for good things and that opinion might be over generous,but I think he provides a spark.
We certainly need to throw a double-six at the start and try and wrestle a 2-0 advantage before having our usual sleepy 15 mins spell that is somewhat the norm. During this siesta period it's down to game management and avoiding shooting ourselves in both feet.
I'm not as confident as a confident thing - like two weeks ago - but I'm not expecting a crash,bang,wallop disaster neither.
And with these conflicting emotions I'm going to slap £20 notes down...question is: is it on beer or a bet...

I’d be waiting for 5 or 6 games before betting on West Ham if I was you BD
I say it every season but the most memorable thing about Hove was being marched up and down the beach by OB until even they were bored shitless .

I think we need a bit of bite and energy in midfield, as we didn't sign a young DM, i'd have to put Snodgrass in there.
This gives Wilshere a bit more freedom to go forward.
Fornals, Anderson, Yarmolenko options off the bench.
If Haller isn't fit id throw Ateji in.
