The Premier League is back in action with another round of matches this weekend as Brentford lock horns with David Moyes' West Ham United side in an important clash at the Gtech Community Stadium on Sunday.
Brentford vs West Ham United Preview
West Ham United are currently in 15th place in the Premier League standings and have not been at their best so far this season. The Hammers edged AZ Alkmaar to a 2-1 victory in the UEFA Conference League in their previous game and will look to achieve a similar result this weekend.
Brentford, on the other hand, are in ninth place in the league table at the moment and have been fairly impressive so far this season. The home side suffered a narrow 1-0 defeat at the hands of Liverpool last week and will need to bounce back in this match.

Brentford vs West Ham United Prediction
West Ham United have shown marked improvement over the past month and will be intent on distancing themselves from the relegation zone. Michail Antonio and Said Benrahma have stepped up in recent weeks and will look to add to their goal tallies in this fixture.
