Brighton have never lost a Premier League fixture against West Ham, winning four and drawing six of the 10 previous meetings.

Potter said: “In my time, we’ve only won one game against West Ham, so that doesn’t feel like such a great record! We’ve had a lot of draws.

“I’ve got a huge respect and admiration for David Moyes and the job that he has done there and as a man I have a lot of time for him.

“It’s an experienced squad with an experienced manager, so we’re ready for a tough game.”

Hammers boss David Moyes knows the Seagulls will prove a tough opponent once again.

“The challenge is good,” Moyes said at a press conference. “From their point of view, they are a good team with a manager who is doing very well.

“They have got a structure which they play to, so they have got a lot of good things going for them.

“But we finished above them last year in the league, so we have to go and show that we are good enough and will aim to do that again.

“We have had tough games against them, so I have no doubt it will be another tough one.”
