Brighton & Hove Albion welcome Nottingham Forest in Tuesday's Premier League contest at the Amex Stadium. It is important match as both teams suffered defeats during the weekend. The Seagulls were defeated 2:0 by Brentford on Friday night. Brighton sit on the seventh place with 14 points. They have registered two defeats in the last two matches and the players confidence is lower. This is a big problem and I am sure the new coach Roberto De Zerbi will come under pressure in case of another defeat. The Italian is still looking for his first win as Seagulls boss after taking over from Chelsea-bound Graham Potter. For this match he will be without Kaoru Mitoma, Levi Colwill, Jan Paul van Hecke and long-term absentee Jakub Moder. Brighton fans were disappointed by the news of Enock Mwepu's retirement at the age of just 24 due to a hereditary heart condition. De Zerbi is expected to make some changes after the defeat to Brentford, with Adam Lallana replacing Pascal Gross in the midfield.
Nottingham Forest sit at the bottom of the table with five points, but the club officials handed Steve Cooper a new three-year contract after their four-goal hammering at Leicester City 10 days ago. On Saturday they suffered a narrow defeat to Wolverhampton after missing a penalty in the finish of the match. Nottingham are out of form, they have six defeats and a draw in the last seven Premier League games, including three straight losses on road. The atmosphere in the squad is poor and that's a huge problem. Cooper will definitely be without Moussa Niakhate, Jack Colback and Omar Richards, but three more are rated as doubtful. Serge Aurier is struggling with a muscular injury, Renan Lodi is nursing an ankle problem, while Lewis O'Brien is fighting to recover from illness in time for Tuesday. Some changes are expected as Jesse Lingard, Taiwo Awoniyi and Orel Mangala are pushing for a place in the starting eleven.
Brighton & Hove Albion vs. Nottingham Forest Prediction:
I expect less than three goals at Amex. Brighton have failed to score on the last two matches. It is clear they have problem at the moment. Nottingham, meanwhile, are extremely defensive side. They didn't score on the last three away matches. Even a penalty wasn't converted against the Wolves on Saturday. At the moment, despite a summer outlay in excess of £100m, Forest are still a poor side.
Brighton & Hove Albion vs. Nottingham Forest Pick: Under 2.5 goals @ 2.15 with Pinnacle
Liverpool vs West Ham United Preview:
Possible starting lineups:
Liverpool:
Alisson; Gomez, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Henderson, Fabinho, Thiago; Salah, Firmino, Nunez
West Ham United:
Fabianski; Kehrer, Dawson, Zouma, Cresswell; Soucek, Rice; Bowen, Paqueta, Emerson; Antonio
This is a poor season for Liverpool. The Reds are 8th with 13 points, massive 14 points behind the league leaders Arsenal. The fans were frustrated until the weekend, but right now everything is different. The reason is Sunday's win against Manchester City. Mohamed Salah, who netted a hat-trick against Glasgow Rangers in the Champions League three days earlier, was the scorer of the winning goal in the 76th minute. Goalkeeper Alisson Becker was probably the most deserved for the victory. He had several outstanding saves and on top of that, assisted Salah in the crucial moment of the game. No other goalkeeper in Premier League history has more goal involvements than Alisson. The Brazilian has four goals to his name - one scored and three assists. But Klopp has lot of issues ahead of this match. Diogo Jota suffered a calf injury during the stoppage time on Sunday. With Luis Diaz already out until the New Year with a knee issue, Klopp has only three strikers available. Most probably Darwin Nunez will start alongside Roberto Firmino and Salah in attack. Four players remain sidelined - Joel Matip, Arthur Melo, Naby Keita and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain. In addition, Ibrahima Konate is rated as doubtful. Klopp has avoided a touchline ban for now despite being sent off against City. The Football Association want to review the incident further before taking any action against the German coach.
West Ham have collected 11 points and sit in the middle of the table. The actual form is good, two wins and one draw on the last three matches in the Premier League. They managed to beat Wolverhampton and Fulham, while shared the points with Southampton at St Mary's. David Moyes' men have dominated the match with 61% possession, had 25 shots in total and 14 corners, but failed to secure another victory. The Saints scored a controversial goal through Romain Perraud in the 20th minute. According to Moyes, referee Peter Bankes made a big mistake: "There must be new rules in football," said Moyes. "So you should check out the new rules, which are that you can grab them right around the waist and you can hold them and then you can put them in a judo move, where you slam them down. He gets him and throws him right down. It's unreal." However, Declan Rice leveled shortly after the hour mark with a strike from outside of the area. West Ham had two good opportunities in the next period, but Said Benrahma and Gianluca Scamacca failed to score. Moyes has some additional issues as key defender Kurt Zouma is rated as doubtful. He missed out on the trip to Southampton with a cold. Craig Dawson is also doubtful due to a dead leg, while Maxwel Cornet and Nayef Aguerd remain sidelined with thigh and ankle issues respectively.
Liverpool vs West Ham United Prediction:
Liverpool are in good form at the moment. The Reds are in mini series of two victories across all competitions and the players confidence is higher. The atmosphere in the squad is very good following the victory over Manchester City. But given the amount of effort Liverpool players had to put into the match to claim all three points, it may be a big problem to play only 72 hours later. Klopp will probably make some changes, but has limited options considering the injury situation. I think the Hammers could take advantage from Liverpool's issues.3At least they could score at Anfield.
Liverpool vs West Ham United Pick: Both teams to score - Yes @ 1.74 with Pinnacle

Liverpool vs West Ham United
Despite West Ham United picked up good form of late and lifted themselves out of the relegation trouble, David Moyes had really not got a good result at Anfield in his career. The visitor may try to upset an unsettled Liverpool side with a possible goal or two.
Liverpool finally woke up, following their 7-1 last week at Glasgow Rangers and defeated Man City on Sunday with a 1-0 victory. A morale boosted was much needed for Liverpool, at home tonight they should have no trouble of winning this.
Liverpool @ 1.40
Over 3 @ 1.88
