4 years ago 840

This weekend’s super Sunday brings some mouthwatering fixtures including a London derby, which will see West Ham take on Brentford at the London Stadium in Premier League matchday seven with kickoff at 16:00.

West Ham had an impressive season last year and they look poised for another positive year having made a strong start to their 2021-22 Premier League campaign as they have only lost one of their opening six matches while recording three wins and two draws, which leaves them in the seventh spot with 11 points in the league standings.

The hammers have also made a solid start to the European campaign asserting their command in Group F of the Europa League having won their opening two games. They opened with a 2-0 win over Dinamo Zagreb before claiming another 2-0 against Rapid Vienna last Thursday.

The win against Rapid was West Ham’s third win in a row across all competitions following their 2-1 win over Leeds United last weekend in the Premier League and the 1-0 against Manchester United in the ELF Cup. Therefore, David Moyes’ side will enter the match in a good form having only lost one of their last six matches across all competitions and Moyes will want his side to keep the momentum going, but also being aware of the threat that their opponents possess.

Meanwhile Brentford have made a terrific start to their life in the Premier League as the newly-promoted side have only lost one of their opening six matches while managing two wins and three draws keeping three clean sheets in the process. They now occupy the ninth spot with nine points in the standings.

Indeed, the Bees continued to demonstrate that they have not arrived in the Premier League just to make up the numbers as the Londoners are coming off an impressive 3-3 draw against Liverpool, a match where Thomas Frank’s side displayed a remarkable performance with Ethan Pinnock, Vitaly Janelt and Yoane Wissa scored the determined Brentford.

Brentford are in a good form having only lost one of their last six matches across all competitions and are also in a good away form as they have not lost any of their three away matches this season conceding just one goal and Thomas Frank will hope his side can keep the momentum going when they face a formidable West Ham.

West Ham vs Brentford head to head

Both sides have only met in two friendly matches in the recent times with West Ham winning both, however it has been 28 years since West Ham and Brentford last locked horns in any competitive competitions.
