Brentford vs West Ham United: Premier League preview
It took some time for Nuno Espírito Santo's work to bear fruit at West Ham, but they've been the eighth-best team in the Premier League since the start of 2026 in terms of points collected.
The Hammers start the day outside the relegation zone, two points above a Spurs team they'd love to bury under a mountain of pressure by beating Brentford and making Spurs stew on it for more than 24 hours until they face Aston Villa on Sunday evening.
Villa are the only team to have beaten West Ham in their last six league matches, a run that totalled just four goals conceded and included wins over Fulham, Wolves and Everton. Only Villa scored twice against the Hammers as they took those crucial steps towards safety.
These teams have already met twice this season. Brentford came away from the London Stadium as 2–0 winners in October, Nuno's first home game in charge, but were knocked out of the FA Cup on penalties after a rollercoaster 2–2 draw in the fifth round.

Before last week’s loss at high-flying Manchester United, Brentford had drawn five Premier League matches in a row and were unbeaten in six.
Indeed, drawing has become a habit at home too. Brentford’s last home loss was against Brighton & Hove Albion in February, and their last home win was over Sunderland just one week into 2026.
Their remaining home fixtures take West Ham and then Crystal Palace across the capital to face the Bees, who have only good things left to scrap for in what’s left of the campaign. They probably need to win today to keep up in the chase for Europe, but Keith Andrews has done an incredible job as a first-time manager.
There are 12 points between these teams, and both Andrews and Brentford as a club can reflect on that this afternoon with a good deal of pride, given the players they cashed in on last summer.
