Brentford host West Ham United in this all-Premier League clash in the FA Cup third round. The home side will look to repeat the recent win they had over West Ham at the London Stadium. Since then, the Bees have also beaten Liverpool at home in the Premier League. That win took them up to ninth in the Premier League and Brentford are unbeaten over 90 minutes in their last seven league and cup matches. They are proving to be a side that can beat the best with wins over Liverpool. Manchester City and Manchester United this season. Home form has been strong too with only Arsenal able to win away at Brentford in the Premier League this season. Since winning promotion, they've played West Ham three times and won all of those games.

It's been a sad week for West Ham United with the death of co-owner David Gold. There has been some better news on the pitch with the Hammers able to grab a 2-2 draw at Leeds United on Wednesday. That point ended a run of five successive defeats for West Ham who are now in 17th place and only above the relegation zone on goal difference. West Ham have struggled on their travels this season with only one win in their last six games. Their best form on the road has been shown in the Europa Conference League. Both teams will make changes for this match after a hectic Christmas schedule. Brentford are still likely to get a home win though.
