With Southampton and Leicester already down, there is one remaining relegation place to be decided and it’s between the Hammers and Ipswich.
Following a 4-0 thumping at home by Arsenal last weekend, Ipswich are on 21 points. With just five matches remaining, their maximum possible total is 36 points.
West Ham are already on 36 points which means they only need a point against Brighton on Graham Potter’s return to the Amex Stadium to confirm their safety and relegate the Tractor Boys in the process.
The Seagulls are looking to bounce back from a 4-2 loss away at Brentford last time out as they look to finish as high as possible in the table as the reward could be a place in Europe for next season.
Date, kick-off time and venue
Brighton vs West Ham is scheduled for a 3pm BST kick-off on Saturday, April 26, 2025.
The match will take place at the Amex Stadium.

Brighton vs West Ham prediction
Neither side are in great form, Brighton are without a win in five league matches and were held to a 2-2 draw by Leicester last time out at home.
West Ham are now six without a win, but this is a game that has a real end of season feel to it which suggests a draw is on the cards and that will suit the visitors.
