West Ham United
West Ham has been on a run of eight matches without a win since beating Arsenal 2-0 in the league at the Emirates Stadium last year. Unfortunately for West Ham, they suffered knockout of the FA Cup by Bristol City. Additionally, they have a six-game losing streak in the Premier League. The last three defeats have been concerning. West Ham conceded three at Old Trafford, six at home to Arsenal, and a 2-0 defeat at Forest. The club has dropped down to ninth position in the table, eight points behind sixth-placed Manchester United and one point clear of 11th-placed Wolverhampton Wanderers. West Ham United, on the other hand, is currently in ninth place in the league table and has been inconsistent this season.
West Ham will be without Kalvin Phillips due to a red card, but Lucas Paqueta is expected to start despite his calf problem. Thomas Soucek is expected to play in central midfield, while Michail Antonio is expected to drop out.
Brentford FC
Brentford, led by manager Thomas Frank, is aiming to secure all three points against West Ham on Monday. The Bees, on a poor run of form, have been beaten in four of their last five league matches,. This includes two against Liverpool and Manchester City. Brentford has a record of seven wins, four draws, and 14 defeats from 25 Premier League matches this season, leaving them in 14th position. West Ham has secured 19 points from their 12 league games in front of their supporters. Brentford has lost three successive London derbies in the Premier League, and there is pressure on Frank to deliver a positive result. Brentford currently sits in 14th place in the Premier League standings and has not been at their best this season. The away side suffered a narrow 1-0 defeat against Manchester City last week and will need to bounce back in this match.
Brentford’s selection for the match remains unchanged, with no new injury concerns. Head coach Frank is expected to name the majority of the team from last week’s match against Man City. Neal Maupay may replace Yoane Wissa in the final third.
