Comments and predictions for West Ham vs Brentford: Lucky draw

Both West Ham United and Brentford will be aiming to make amends for their London derby defeats with a win over their cross-city rivals at the London Stadium on Saturday.

Two weeks ago, Graham Potter's side let a lead slip and lost 2-1 to Chelsea, while Brentford became Tottenham Hotspur's first Premier League defeat of 2025 after a 2-0 home defeat.

Latest West Ham vs Brentford team information

Bowen's return from a foot injury was a bright spot for West Ham against Chelsea. The club have also added Evan Ferguson to their squad, and the striker, on loan from Brighton & Hove Albion, could make his debut in this crucial game.

West Ham are still without Niclas Fullkrug (thigh) and Michail Antonio (foot), along with Crysencio Summerville (hamstring). However, Lucas Paqueta (groin), Edson Alvarez and Jean-Clair Todibo (unknown) are all expected to be available.

Ferguson may have to wait for his chance to come off the bench if Paqueta and Kudus provide cover behind Bowen, who is on course for his 50th Premier League goal for West Ham, just behind Michail Antonio – the club's all-time top scorer in the competition with 68.

Brentford also made a last-minute addition with the loan signing of 18-year-old winger Romelle Donovan from Birmingham City, but the visitors' injury situation remains largely unchanged.

Aaron Hickey (thigh), Igor Thiago (knee), Gustavo Nunes (back), Rico Henry (thigh) and Josh Dasilva (knee) remain sidelined. Thomas Frank is hopeful first-choice goalkeeper Mark Flekken can return after an intercostal muscle injury forced him to miss the Chelsea game.

After 18 minutes against Tottenham, defender Michael Kayode – who is on loan from Fiorentina – could be handed a starting spot at right-back, replacing Kristoffer Ajer.

Brentford:

Flekken; Kayode, Collins, Van den Berg, Lewis-Potter; Norgaard, Janelt; Mbeumo, Damsgaard, Schade; Wissa

Latest football commentary on West Ham vs Brentford

As many clubs rushed to complete deals on transfer deadline day, Chelsea and West Ham made headlines on the pitch at Stamford Bridge, where Potter was reunited with the team that sacked him after just a few months in charge.

West Ham could have won the game at half-time, with Jarrod Bowen capitalising on a Levi Colwill error to open the scoring, but Pedro Neto's equaliser and an unfortunate own goal from Aaron Wan-Bissaka saw the Irons leave empty-handed.

Under Potter, West Ham have not really had a boost from the "new manager effect". They have only earned 1 point from the last 9 maximum points in the Premier League and are currently ranked 16th in the table. Although they are still 10 points above the relegation zone, their form with only 1 win after 7 matches in all competitions is clearly not enough to bring peace of mind.

West Ham’s home form has also been inconsistent, with three wins, three losses and two draws in their last eight games at the London Stadium. More worryingly, they have kept just two clean sheets in the Premier League since the start of 2024.

Meanwhile, Brentford also lost their confidence at home. They continued their disappointing streak when they were defeated by Tottenham right at Gtech Community Stadium.

Before the match, Brentford fans may have hoped for a positive result against a Tottenham side in crisis and having lost all four Premier League games since the start of the year. However, Vitaly Janelt's own goal and Pape Sarr's strike have dampened those hopes.

Brentford had a promising start to the season in the European race, but they have slipped to the bottom half of the table with just two wins in their last 11 games in all competitions.

However, those two wins were away to Southampton and Crystal Palace, and if they beat West Ham again, they will have won three consecutive away Premier League games for the first time.

Brentford and West Ham drew 1-1 in September, a rare low-scoring encounter at the Gtech Stadium. However, with Mbeumo opening the scoring in the first minute of that game, Brentford have now scored against West Ham in all seven Premier League meetings.
