Brentford and West Ham United have been among the impressive teams in this pre-season preparations and will go toe-to-toe for another summer warm-up fixture on Saturday as they build towards the start of their 2021-22 Premier League campaigns at the Brentford Community Stadium with kickoff at 17:00.
Brentford have been impressive in this pre-season preparations with a 5-match unbeaten run including a four-match winning streak and a draw. The Bees couldn’t make it to five consecutive wins on Wednesday when they played Manchester United to a 2-2 draw at old Trafford, having already eased past Wimbledon, Boreham Wood, Cambridge United and Watford.
However, Brantford proved that they make a fine addition to the Premier League with their impressive performance at the Old Trafford where they had to come behind in both occasions to end the match in 2-2 draw.
Thomas Frank’s side will take Southend United and Valencia in their remaining pre-seasons matches before welcoming Arsenal for their first ever Premier League match on August 13.
Meanwhile West Ham United have been looking strong and impressive this summer with a 5-match unbeaten run in the pre-season friendlies, with a three-match winning streak and two draws. The Hammers will be looking for their fourth consecutive win in the Saturday’s clash following victories over Northampton Town, Reading and Celtic.
Moyes’ side will head into the match off the back off an impressive 6-2 win over the Scottish giants, Celtic, who may have been more concerned about their impending Champions League clash with Midtjylland which ultimately ended in misery for them.
West Ham will welcome Serie A outfit Atalanta to Stratford for their first home pre-season friendly on August 7 before traveling to Newcastle United for their 2021-22 Premier League opener on August 15.
