Twenty minutes have passed at the Amex and Dan Burns' early header remains the only shot from either side.

The Seagulls are enjoying a spell of possession now, though, they are restricted to harmless passes in midfield.

Martin Montoya tries a cross-field ball to Pascal Gross but the German cannot bring the ball under control.

The Hammers are starting to consolidate possession and build a bit of momentum now.

They're yet to create any real chances though - Brighton's back five are looking pretty solid.

Arthur Masuaku, who has looked full of running so far, breaks away down the left but runs away from his teammates and is adeptly tackled by Shane Duffy.

To be fair to Anthony Taylor, he's letting this one flow at the moment.

Manuel Lanzini looks to breakaway from Lewis Dunk but he's felled by the Brighton skipper, but Taylor just tells him to get up and waves play on.

The visitors are settling into this one now, Jack Wilshere and Declan Rice are pulling the strings at the moment.

Here we go.

Pablo Fornals, who impressed for Spain U21s at the Euros this summer, flies down the left and dinks in a cross, but he can't find a teammate and Mat Ryan gobbles it up.

Ooft.

We could, and maybe should, have had an opener in the opening minutes.

Dan Burn shakes off Issa Diop and rises highest to head Pascal Gross' free-kick over the bar.

Pascal Gross rolls it back to Lewis Dunk and we're off!

The sun is shining and the players are out on the lush Amex Stadium turf and we're just minutes away from kick off.

Manuel Pellegrini will be looking for a big improvement from West Ham after their heavy home defeat by champions Manchester City.

His opposite number Graham Potter will be hopeful Brighton can maintain their excellent start in his first home Premier League fixture, following their impressive victory at Watford.

Brighton managed less than a goal per match last season as they just avoided the drop, so to get three at Vicarage Road was hugely encouraging.

West Ham have lost both their previous Premier League visits to Sussex and haven't beaten Brighton since the Seagulls were promoted. This weekend would be a good time to condemn that fact to history.

Brighton & Hove Albion head coach Graham Potter on his first competitive game at the Amex Stadium: "I'm relishing it, I had a bit of a taste of it for the friendly game against Valencia, there were 16,000 there and I thought it was a good atmosphere.

"We're up against a tough side who'll be looking to push on; we need our fans and they've been great so far. Hopefully we can give them something to cheer about and reward them for that."

West Ham United manager Manuel Pellegrini: "[Brighton] started very well - a clear style of play under their new manager.

"Always playing in their stadium they are a difficult team so we must be very concentrated, play with a high pace and intensity."

I am going to go for a draw here. West Ham were beaten heavily by Manchester City last week and I am expecting to see a reaction from them.

Prediction: 1-1

So West Ham come into this one without their new front man Sebastien Haller after a promising debut against Manchester City and Felipe Anderson misses out, too.

That means plenty of eyes will be cast towards new boy Pablo Fornals to provide the Hammers' creative flair - he makes his first start for the club.

As for Brighton, perhaps surprisingly Neal Maupay starts on the bench despite scoring off the bench last time out, but there is a full debut for fellow summer arrival Leandro Trossard.

The playmaker, who joined from Genk in June, scored 15 goals in 35 Belgian league appearances last term.

Graham Potter makes one change to his Brighton side who beat Watford last Saturday as new signing Leandro Trossard comes in for Jurgen Locadia to make his Seagulls debut.

Elsewhere, Glenn Murray retains his place to lead the line as £20m man Neal Maupay, who netted against the Hornets, is named on the bench.

Summer arrivals Adam Webster and Aaron Mooy are also named among the substitutes.

Brighton XI: Ryan; Montoya, Duffy, Dunk, Burn; March, Gross, Propper, Stephens, Trossard; Murray.

Subs: Button, Bernardo, Webster, Mooy, Locadia, Maupay, Locadia, Andone.
