The bookies have placed the Bees as the unsurprising favourites at 1/2 with BetGoodwin while Betfred have West Ham at 5/2 to put an interesting twist in the relegation fight with Tottenham and a draw is 13/5 with William Hill.

Brentford’s push for a first-ever European place has stalled, with five straight draws followed by Monday’s 2-1 defeat at Manchester United. They are ninth, just two points off sixth, but have not won in six home league matches.

West Ham sit 17th, two points above the bottom three, but have taken 16 points from their last 10 league games and arrive in decent form after seven points from their last three, including a late 2-1 win over Everton. Brentford have had the better of this matchup recently, with West Ham losing seven of their nine Premier League meetings (W1 D1), while Brentford have won three of the last four home league games against the Hammers.

Brentford are still without Antoni Milambo and Fabio Carvalho (knee), Rico Henry (thigh) and Vitaly Janelt (ankle), while Jordan Henderson will be assessed after missing four games. Josh Dasilva returned to the squad on Monday for the first time in 816 days but is unlikely to start. Dango Ouattara and Kevin Schade should support 21-goal Igor Thiago, with Keane Lewis-Potter an option if Aaron Hickey returns at left-back.

West Ham have no new injury issues and Nuno may stick with the XI that beat Everton. Kyle Walker-Peters could again start ahead of Aaron Wan-Bissaka, while Jarrod Bowen is set to keep his place on the right and is two assists away from becoming the club’s first player to reach 50 Premier League assists.
