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

Brentford travel to the London Stadium tonight, aiming to secure their first FA Cup quarter-final appearance in 37 years and continue their remarkable record against West Ham.

The Bees have moved into the fifth round for the first time since 2019, following clean-sheet victories over Sheffield Wednesday and non-league Macclesfield. Manager Keith Andrews oversaw a forgettable goalless draw with Bournemouth on Tuesday.

Now he faces an opponent Brentford have beaten seven times in their last ten meetings. Notably, Brentford have already beaten West Ham 2–0 at this stadium earlier this season and are looking for their first quarter-final since the 1988-89 campaign.

Brentford team news

Keith Andrews manages a squad stretched by several significant defensive and midfield injuries. Notably, Rico Henry is ruled out for several weeks after suffering a hamstring injury at the Vitality Stadium. Consequently, Keane Lewis-Potter is expected to deputise on the left flank.

Notably, Brentford have been defensively perfect in the FA Cup this term, keeping as many clean sheets in their last two matches as in their previous 20 in the competition combined. Long-term absentees Fábio Carvalho and Antoni Milambo remain out, but Reiss Nelson is nearing a return to first-team action.

Hákon Valdimarsson could be handed a start in goal, with Ethan Pinnock and Kristoffer Ajer anchoring a reshuffled backline. In midfield, Jordan Henderson is expected to provide veteran experience alongside Yegor Yarmolyuk.

Kevin Schade and Dango Ouattara will support Igor Thiago in attack. Notably, Brentford have failed to progress beyond this stage on each of their last three attempts, a streak they are desperate to snap tonight to maintain their historic season.
