🏟 Brentford Community Stadium (London)

Brentford’s defensive issues continued last weekend with a 3-1 loss to Tottenham, marking their sixth game this season without a clean sheet. This defeat dropped them into the bottom half of the table. At Brentford Community Stadium, where all six of their Premier League points have been collected, they will face fellow London strugglers West Ham United. Manager Thomas Frank attributed the loss to injuries, as five potential starters were missing. Brentford's home form against teams that avoided relegation last season was poor, winning just two of 16 such games (D7, L7).

West Ham’s visit to Brentford comes after a difficult period, with the Hammers suffering their third consecutive Premier League loss at home, this time to Chelsea. They are now three league games without a win (D1, L2), reminiscent of their poor start to the 2022/23 season. West Ham manager Julen Lopetegui is already under pressure, with fans expressing discontent over tactical decisions like substituting Crysencio Summerville against Chelsea. However, West Ham’s points this season have come against teams outside the top five, giving hope for a better result against Brentford.
