PREM: West Ham United v Brighton preview

West Ham United v Brighton preview
Pablo Zabaleta could return from illness to face Brighton on Wednesday, but Manuel Pellegrini has warned West Ham's injury problems could take time to ease.
Marko Arnautovic returned in Sunday's defeat to Burnley, but Pellegrini revealed fellow forward Javier Hernandez is at least another week away from fitness.
Winston Reid (knee) remains out until late January but as yet there is no timescale on returns for Jack Wilshere, Ryan Fredericks (both ankle), Fabian Balbuena, Manuel Lanzini, Carlos Sanchez (all knee) and Andriy Yarmolenko (Achilles).
Brighton forward Jose Izquierdo should be fit for the trip to the London Stadium after shaking off a knee injury. The Colombia international could make his first appearance since the 3-1 win over Crystal Palace on December 4.
Brighton have no injuries but will be without Mat Ryan and Alireza Jahanbakhsh, who are both on international duty.
