Things have gone from bad to worse for West Ham recently. It's now nearly two months since the Hammers won a game of football, a run that stretches back eight games to their victory over Arsenal just after Christmas, with a 2-0 defeat to struggling Nottm Forest last time out putting more pressure on David Moyes. Could another defeat here spell the end for the West Ham boss?
Things aren't much better for Brentford either. Their defeat to Man City last week meant the Bees have taken just six points – wins against Forest and Wolves – from their last 11 games. After tonight's game they face two more London derbies against Chelsea and Arsenal, so a win against the out-of-form Hammers would give them a decent buffer over the teams in the relegation zone.
Here's how the teams line up:
West Ham XI: Areola (GK); Coufal, Mavropanos, Zouma, Emerson; Souček, Álvarez; Ward-Prowse, Paquetá, Kudus; Bowen.
Brentford XI: Flekken (GK); Jørgensen, Ajer, Mee; Reguilón, Onyeka, Jensen, Nørgaard, Lewis-Potter; Maupay, Toney
