TEAMS PREVIEW

Brentford FC Preview

On a frustrating night for Brentford, their front line led by top scorer Igor Thiago wasted key chances and were twice denied by the woodwork and Lammens in a 2-1 defeat to Manchester United. 

A late strike from Mathias Jensen offered only consolation as the Bees slipped to a sixth straight league game without a win.

That run has dented their European hopes, even though they remain in the hunt, level on points with Chelsea in eighth and just two behind Brighton & Hove Albion in sixth. With trips to Manchester City and Liverpool still to come, Brentford know their two remaining home games are now must-wins. 

But the worrying part is that the side have gone without a win at Gtech Community Stadium for the past six league games. 

Stats that matter 

1. Brentford have won just two of their last 15  London derbies in the Premier League.
2. The last three home league matches of Brentford have ended in draws.
3. Of the 21 goals scored by Igor Thiago in the league this season, only one has been in a London derby. 

Team News 

Apart from their long-term absentees, Brentford will be without Rico Henry and Vitaly Janelt for Saturday’s clash, while Jordan Henderson's participation remains a doubt. 

Brentford Probable XI - Kelleher (GK); Kayode, Van den Berg, Collins, Lewis-Potter, Yarmoliuk, Jensen, Ouattara, Damsgaard, Schade, Thiago. 

West Ham United FC Preview

In Match day 34, West Ham United were moments away from dropping into the relegation zone before Callum Wilson struck a dramatic 92nd-minute winner against Everton at the London Stadium. 

The late twist came just minutes after conceding, with Wilson continuing his remarkable record against Everton—netting his ninth goal in 12 appearances. The win ensured the Hammers stayed clear of both the drop zone and Tottenham Hotspur.

While they avoided immediate danger, the road ahead is far from straightforward, with tricky fixtures against Brentford and Arsenal looming. Still, there’s reason for optimism—West Ham have hit a decent patch of form, going unbeaten in five of their last six league matches, including a solid 1-1 draw with Manchester City. 

Manager Nuno Espírito Santo will be hoping that momentum carries them through the final stretch.

Stats that matter

1. Only five PL clubs have won more points than West Ham in the last 13 matchdays (22 points).
2. West Ham have conceded in all the nine PL games they have played against Brentford.
3. West Ham have won two of their last four London derbies ( D1 L1) played in the league. 

Team News 

West Ham United head into the fixture with a near full-strength squad, with only Łukasz Fabiański sidelined, giving the Hammers a welcome boost in terms of selection and depth. 

West Ham Probable XI - Hermansen (GK); Wan-Bissaka, Mavropanos, Disasi, Diouf, Bowen, Soucek, Fernandes, Summerville, Pablo, Castellanos.  

BRENTFORD FC vs WEST HAM UNITED FC
Winning Prediction

Brentford may have a poor record in London derbies overall, but meetings with West Ham United have been a rare bright spot. Both of their derby wins have come against the Hammers, including a comfortable 2-0 victory in the reverse fixture.

While their FA Cup clash in March ended 2-2, Brentford have largely had the upper hand in this matchup—winning three of their last four Premier League home games against West Ham—giving them a clear edge heading into this encounter. 

We predict a draw (1-1)
