David Moyes’ last win over Brighton was back in January 2002 with Preston North End in the FA Cup. A victory in this match would make it his second-longest gap between wins over an opponent (18 years 347 days), behind only a 20-year and 109-day gap against Gillingham (1999 and 2020).

West Ham's Robert Snodgrass has been directly involved in eight goals in 10 appearances against Brighton in all competitions (five goals, three assists).

Brighton are unbeaten in all six of their Premier League meetings with West Ham, winning the first three and drawing the most recent three.

Danny Welbeck has scored four goals in all competitions against West Ham, only netting more against Aston Villa and Southampton, with five strikes against each club.
