West Ham United will challenge Brighton away. Coach Graham Potter admitted that the team's recent performance has been disappointing, but he firmly believes that the team is still united and will continue to face the challenge with all their strength.

In last week's Premier League match, West Ham United tied with Southampton, who ranked last, 1-1 at home and has not won in 6 consecutive games. Currently, West Ham United ranks 17th in the Premier League, just one step ahead of the relegation zone.

At the pre-match press conference, Porter admitted: "We certainly hope to win that game, but the result and performance did not meet expectations. You have to accept such criticism. This is the reality of the Premier League. From a longer-term perspective, the team's problems did not happen overnight."

"In the 40 games before I took over, West Ham United conceded more than 80 goals in the Premier League, scored only about 50 goals, and had a goal difference of minus 30. Being in this state for a long time will naturally make the fans lose patience."

Despite this, Porter still pointed out some positive signs in recent times, such as the away draw with Everton and the team's tenacious fighting spirit against Liverpool. Porter stressed that the team has been working hard to improve and affirmed the players' investment in training.

Porter said: "We are definitely not at our ideal performance level yet, but the players' attitude in training is very good. I hope to continue to support them and we will meet every challenge together. We know this game will not be easy, but we are ready and will do our best to win."
