Alex Song - who was an unused substitute against Liverpool on Saturday - is set to feature for West Ham United's under 21s when they face Brighton & Hove Albion at Rush Green tonight.

The 28-year-old midfielder is yet to recapture the stunning form he produced during the first half of the 2014/15 season and has struggled to hold down a place in Slaven Bilic's side since returning from a lengthy injury.And in order to ensure the former Cameroon international gets valuable game time, he has been included in Terry Westley's squad for tonight's Barclays U21 Premier League Division One clash with the Seagulls.Both sides go into tonight's game desperately seeking three points, with Brighton bottom of the 12-team table and West Ham faring little better in eighth place with 17 points from their opening 13 games of the campaign.West Ham will be hoping to repeat their success in the corresponding fixture at the Amex Stadium back in November, which the Hammers won 2-1 through goals from Josh Cullen and Martin Samuelsen - who has since joined Peterborough on loan until the end of the season.
