Brentford XI vs West Ham United – Predicted lineup and team news

Brentford travel across London to face West Ham on Monday night.

They hold a remarkable psychological advantage over their struggling rivals. Impressively, the Bees have won six of the eight Premier League meetings between the clubs. This record includes a victory at the London Stadium last season, giving them huge confidence ahead of this clash.

Keith Andrews’ side, however, must address their own alarming away form. For instance, they have lost all three league matches on the road this season. During these games, they conceded seven goals. Worryingly, Brentford threw away leads in the last two of those defeats. Therefore, finding greater resilience away from home is key. This is particularly true against a West Ham team now under new management.

Keith Andrews has received several fitness boosts ahead of the match. First, defender Aaron Hickey has been declared fit after recovering from a knock picked up on international duty. Furthermore, wingers Reiss Nelson and Gustavo Nunes are both available again. They proved their fitness by playing for the U21s midweek.

The only major absentee remains Antoni Milambo. The young midfielder is out long-term with an ACL injury. In attack, Igor Thiago will lead the line. He currently boasts an impressive 40% shot conversion rate this season. Additionally, Michael Kayode’s long throws could be a key weapon, as Brentford have utilised them more than any other team in the league.
