Brentford overcame champions Manchester City and Liverpool in recent games. They are sitting ninth in the table with 26 points from 18 matches.
Brentford will look to take their recent good form into the FA Cup when they play host to West Ham United in a third-round clash on Saturday. In the meeting between the two Premier League clubs, the home side will undoubtedly be labelled as the favourites for this match – all thanks to their impressive form of late. Brentford are on a terrific run which has seen them beat some of the notable heavyweights of the league.
The same cannot be said for West Ham United, who are going through a difficult streak. David Moyes’ side did well to end their recent losing streak with a draw against Leeds United in their last match. However, they are still in trouble. As things stand, West Ham are placed 17th in the table and only have 15 points from 18 games. Meanwhile, Brentford overcame champions Manchester City and Liverpool in recent games. They are sitting ninth in the table with 26 points from 18 matches.

There are not too many injury concerns both sides have to worry about ahead of this contest. It remains to be seen if Brentford star striker Ivan Toney will be available for this match following a minor injury recently. On the other hand, West Ham United could miss the injured Vladimir Coufal. Otherwise, both sides do not have any fresh injury concerns. However, FA Cup might not be high on both teams’ priorities this season, hence a lot of changes could be made to the starting lineups in this match.
Brentford possible line-up: Strakosha, Zanka, Pinnock, Mee, Roerslev, Jensen, Norgaard, Dasilva, Henry, Mbeumo, Toney
West Ham United starting line-up: Areola, Kehrer, Dawson, Aguerd, Johnson, Rice, Soucek, Paqueta, Benrahma, Fornals, Antonio
