THE LOWDOWN
BRENTFORD
- With three games of the 2022-23 Premier League season to go, Brentford are five points outside of the top seven and the European spots ahead of this weekend’s round of fixtures. The Bees were edged out by a goal to nil by Liverpool last week.
- It’s as you were in terms on the injury front according to Thomas Frank, who may opt for an unchanged line-up for the visit of West Ham.
WEST HAM
- West Ham United come into this on the back of a tiring first-leg in their UEFA Europa Conference League semi-final tie, during the midweek, against AZ Alkmaar. They pretty much secured survival with their 1-0 win at home to Manchester United last weekend.
- Illness may keep Angelo Ogbonna out of this one but fellow centre-back Kurt Zouma returned to the fold in Europe midweek and could start this one.
THE TEAM NEWS
BRENTFORD
PREDICTED XI (5-3-2): Raya; Hickey, Jorgensen, Pinnock, Mee, Henry; Onyeka, Jensen, Janelt; Mbeumo, Toney
UNAVAILABLE: Jansson (Injured), Strakosha (Injured), Norgaard (Injured), Lewis-Potter (Injured)
QUESTIONABLE:
WEST HAM
PREDICTED XI (4-2-3-1): Fabianski; Kehrer, Zouma, Aguerd, Cresswell; Soucek, Rice; Bowen, Paqueta, Fornals; Ings
UNAVAILABLE: Coufal (Injured), Scamacca (Injured)
QUESTIONABLE: Ogbonna (Illness), Antonio (Injured)
THE PREDICTION
Brentford know how and when to adjust their style based on the opponent. Whether Thomas Frank may adopt a three-at-the-back direct and aggressive style or a sweeping, possession-based 4-3-3 is dependant on the situation and context of their opposition. In this instance, West Ham are pretty much safe in the Premier League and will, most likely, have their focus on the second-leg of their UEFA Europa Conference League tie against AZ Alkmaar. Brentford are firm favourites for this one, especially with their home advantage.
TIP: BRENTFORD TO WIN
