THE LOWDOWN
BRENTFORD
Brentford prepared for Saturday’s fixture with a historic 2-0 victory at Stamford Bridge last weekend. The Bees are spearheaded by Bryan Mbeumo, who has been in scintillating form, stepping up admirably in the absence of the prolific Ivan Toney. Mbeumo added another goal to his tally, bringing his season total to six.
Thomas Frank’s side endured a difficult start to the season, resulting in a winless streak spanning six games in all competitions. However, they've now secured back-to-back victories with a newfound defensive security.
WEST HAM
David Moyes will understand the significance of their upcoming fixture, recognising that a victory is imperative in their pursuit of European qualification. Last weekend’s 1-0 defeat at home to Everton was a stumbling block they are keen to overcome.
The Hammers rebounded from this setback midweek by delivering an impressive performance against Arsenal that marred Declan Rice's return to the London Stadium with a 3-1 triumph, propelling them to the quarter-finals of the Carabao Cup.
THE TEAM NEWS
BRENTFORD
Frank has no fresh injury concerns heading into this one. Rico Henry, Keane Lewis-Potter, Josh Dasilva and Kevin Schade all remain sidelined. Toney continues to complete his lengthy betting suspension. Shandon Baptise could be back from his shoulder concern for the weekend.
PREDICTED XI (3-5-2): Flekken; Ajer, Collins, Pinnock; Roerslev, Jensen, Janet, Norgaard, Hickey; Mbeumo, Wissa
UNAVAILABLE: Henry (Injured), Lewis-Potter (Injured), Dasilva (Injured), Schade (Injured), Toney (Suspended)
QUESTIONABLE: Schade (Fitness), Baptiste (Injured)
WEST HAM
No injury concerns for The Hammers, although they will be without Lucas Paqueta and Edson Alvarez, with both suspended after they received their fifth bookings of the season against Everton.
PREDICTED XI (4-2-3-1): Areola; Coufal, Zouma, Aguerd, Emerson; Ward-Prowse, Soucek; Bowen, Kudus, Benrahma; Antonio
UNAVAILABLE: Paqueta (Suspended), Alvarez (Suspended)
QUESTIONABLE:
THE PREDICTION
Brentford’s fondness for finding the back of the net on home turf, combined with the Hammers' defensive struggles away from home, suggest victory for Brentford.
West Ham expended significant energy in their midweek clash and could fall victim to cup fatigue. The suspensions of key players like Alvarez and Paqueta pose a challenge for David Moyes, who has depleted options in midfield in a game where fresh legs may prove pivotal.
