The defeat to defending champions Manchester City on the opening day was understandable, if not expected, but losing to newly promoted Nottingham Forest last weekend will have been cause for concern to David Moyes. Brighton, meanwhile, have beaten Manchester United and drawn Newcastle United.

Key storylines & star players
With 3.6 expected goals against from their first two games, only Forest rank worse defensively in the Premier League after two games, which is very un-Moyes-like of West Ham. On the flip side, no other side in the PL is yet to score a goal this season. Summer signings Gianluca Scamacca and Maxwel Cornet are yet to make a start between them, though, meaning better times are likely not far away in east London.
Brighton, on the other hand, have only managed to win at Old Trafford and draw the Magpies down on the south coast. Graham Potter’s side has picked up where they left off last season, frustrating the “bigger” sides with their disciplined defensive approach and dominating most others through prolonger periods of possession and a constantly fluid attack. Pascal Gross has scored both of the Seagulls’ goals from central midfield, while Danny Welbeck appears in the midst of a career renaissance at the age of 31.
