West Ham United vs Brentford: FA Cup fifth round preview

The Hammers have come a long way since that loss to Brentford in the autumn. Under Nuno Espirito Santo, a team who've been in the relegation zone for almost the entire season have become steady enough to give themselves a puncher's chance of survival.

With the two teams directly above them faltering badly, West Ham's reliable gathering of points has been enough to close the gap. Nottingham Forest and Tottenham Hotspur are now both within immediate kicking distance.

It's hard to say how much of a priority the FA Cup will be in that situation. Manchester City and Aston Villa are West Ham's next league opponents and that could influence Nuno's decisions here, but winning is a great habit.

Brentford also have bigger fish to fry. The FA Cup is a possible route into Europe for the Bees but it's not the only one. It might not even be the most likely one.

Keith Andrews has his team in seventh place in the Premier League table, a likely European spot, and four points behind Liverpool in sixth. They'll play the Reds at Anfield on the last day of the season.

At stake for Brentford here is a fifth appearance in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup and the first since they reached the latter stages in 1989, equalling their best-ever performance in the competition.

FourFourTwo's prediction

West Ham United 2-2 Brentford

FourFourTwo is predicting that Brentford's on-paper superiority will cancel out home advantage, leaving the last tie of the round to be settled on spot kicks.
