With London bragging rights up for grabs on Saturday afternoon, Brentford will welcome a struggling West Ham to the Gtech Community Stadium.
Brentford:
Brentford looks to bounce back after a challenging start to the season as they host West Ham United at the Gtech Community Stadium. With a solid home record this term, including two Premier League wins and a recent EFL Cup triumph, the Bees will aim to maintain their strong performance at home. Head coach Thomas Frank is keen for his players to build on their early scoring prowess, having netted in the first minute against Tottenham, despite a recent loss. Historically, Brentford has performed well against West Ham, winning four of their last five home encounters.
West Ham United:
West Ham United, meanwhile, is seeking to turn their fortunes around after a difficult start under new manager Julen Lopetegui, managing just two wins in their first seven matches. Following a heavy 5-1 defeat to Liverpool in the EFL Cup, pressure is mounting on Lopetegui to secure points against Brentford and newly-promoted Ipswich before the international break. The Hammers’ past struggles against Brentford, particularly their five consecutive losses before a February victory, add to the urgency for a turnaround as they strive to regain their confidence and form.
Prediction: 2-1
