Brentford remain in the race for European qualification this season, but the Bees will need to bounce back to winning form following a loss against Man United on Monday.

That defeat means that Brentford have now failed to win in their last six. Meanwhile, they are winless in their last five at the Gtech Community Stadium. Their record in London derbies would also be a negative, as Brentford have won just two of their last ten. Interestingly, both wins were achieved against West Ham.

Team News:

Jordan Henderson (Knock), Rico Henry (Thigh), Vitaly Janelt (Knock)

Likely Line-Up:

(4-2-3-1): Kelleher (GK); Kayode, van den Berg, Collins, Lewis-Potter; Yarmolyuk, Jensen; Ouattara, Damsgaard, Schade; Thiago

West Ham hold their Premier League survival in their own hands, as they come into this weekend sitting two points clear of Tottenham. The Hammers have been difficult to beat in recent rounds, going three without defeat, and losing just twice in their last ten.

Massive improvement has been made under Nuno Espirito Santo, as West Ham sat seven points from safety before picking up 22 points from their last 13 fixtures. Callum Wilson’s return to fitness is a huge plus, as the forward scored the crucial winner in last weekend’s 2-1 win over Everton.
