West Ham vs Brentford: Team News and Expert Analysis
The club from the “Olympic Stadium”, after parting ways with Moyes who had previously succeeded here, appointed Lopetegui before the last season. By winter, the disappointed Spaniard was replaced by Potter, who managed to finish at least in 14th place. However, after a tough start to the new season, he also made way for Nuno Espírito Santo, but only in mid-winter did things begin to improve. After a recent 2-5 loss to Liverpool, they managed to beat Fulham in the last round.
Their neighbor, still under Frank last spring, finished in the top 10 with 56 points. But now, under Andrews, the team has improved significantly and is seriously contending for a European competition spot, winning frequently. They defeated Burnley, but drew with Bournemouth.
The home side advanced in the cup by defeating two relatively weak opponents. First, they beat QPR 2-1 at home, then scored the only goal away against Burton. For their opponent, it was even easier. Brentford first won 2-0 against a struggling Sheffield Wednesday, then narrowly beat surprise team Macclesfield, who were notable for eliminating Crystal Palace.
