Match preview

Brentford have won three of their last four Premier League assignments to ease their relegation fears and the in-form Bees are worth backing to sting the European qualification hopes of West Ham.

Thomas Frank’s side have hit form when it matters most and came from behind to stun London rivals Chelsea in a 4-1 rout at Stamford Bridge last weekend.

Overcoming West Ham will be no easy feat but the Hammers are not as reliable on their travels as they are in east London, plus they may be mindful of Thursday’s Europa League quarter-final visit to Lyon.

The Irons have collected only eight points from ten away league games since the beginning of November and it would be understandable if their midweek trip to France, with the tie finely poised at 1-1 after the first leg, carries greater significance.

Key stat

West Ham have managed only one clean sheet in their last 11 away league games, which came in a goalless draw with Burnley.
