Chris Hughton has urged Albion to reproduce their level of performance against Manchester United and make home advantage count to see off West Ham.

The Seagulls’ sole Premier League victory in seven matches came against United at the Amex.

They have drawn with Fulham and lost to Spurs at headquarters since then.

Hammers visit tomorrow night (8pm) on a four-match unbeaten run in all competitions.

Hughton said: “It seems to be a bit of a habit where teams come to the Amex having hit good form, which is what West Ham have done but it’s probably no surprise.

“It was only going to be a matter of time and it heightens the efforts we have to make sure we put into the game.

“We know what we have to do to get results against any team. We will have to get back to those type of (United) levels and use the fact that we are now back at home.

“With due respect, going away to Man City in our last game, it would be a big achievement to get something in that game. We have to use the fact we are now back at home.”

As well as Man City, Spurs and Man United, Albion have also been to Liverpool in their opening seven games.

The West Ham clash is followed, after the international break, by a trip to Hughton’s old club Newcastle and another home game against promoted Wolves.

Hughton said: “It is really important to put it all into perspective. We had a home game with Tottenham and an away game with Man City.

“We came away with a scoreline (2-0) where there will be lots of other teams who will go there and the scoreline will be bigger but it doesn’t stop the disappointment.

“The disappointment is never any different but you come away from that. In our seven games, we’ve played four of the top six and two of the other games have been away from home. We have to put it into perspective.

“We now go through a period of games where some are at home and two of our next three are at home. In that period, we have to capitalise when and where we can.”
