Brighton & Hove Albion v West Ham Utd: live

Sam Allardyce will be hoping to put a miserable weekend behind him as he takes his team to the Amex stadium tonight to face recently promoted Brighton.

Allardyce has spent the past 72 hours being slammed by supporters for considering signing El Hadji Diouf. Fortunately there'll be no sign of the former Sengalese striker at the AmEx tonight, where West Ham will be playing for the first time.
