West Ham United will welcome Brentford at the London Stadium on Sunday afternoon as they try to secure all three points in front of their home supporters. The Hammers managed to earn a 2-1 win over Leeds United in the Premier League recently, so they will be quietly confident about their chances of picking up another positive result this weekend.
David Moyes will probably opt for a 4-2-3-1 formation and could revert to his strongest XI for this league game. We can expect to see Michail Antonio spearhead the East London outfit’s attack once again as he is currently playing at the top of his game.
4-2-3-1 West Ham United Predicted Lineup To Face Brentford
Defence
Łukasz Fabiański will operate in goal for the Hammers as he looks to keep things solid at the back against the Bees this weekend. Angelo Ogbonna will partner Kurt Zouma at the centre of the West Ham defence as they look to stop Brentford’s Bryan Mbeumo and Ivan Toney from scoring this Saturday.
Vladimír Coufal should get the nod to start at right-back while Aaron Cresswell hopes to impress on the other side as the left-back. Both of them will get the license to express themselves in the opposition half as they focus on engineering some decent chances for their teammates up top.
Craig Dawson and Issa Diop will have to be content with a spot on the bench as they provide cover for the centre-back positions.
Midfield
Declan Rice and Tomas Soucek will anchor the midfield for the Hammers as they try to establish their dominance over the opposition at the centre of the park. Pablo Fornals will feature as a left-sided winger while Jarrod Bowen looks to catch the eye from the right.
Said Benrahma could once again get an opportunity to impress as a free-flowing attacking midfielder. His main job would be to feed some decent passes to Michail Antonio in the final third. Nikola Vlasic and Manuel Lanzini will have to settle for a place on the bench but might come on to make an impact in the second 45 minutes if needed.
Attack
Michail Antonio will lead the charge for the East London outfit deep inside the Brentford half. He has enjoyed a good scoring run in the Premier League this season and would be focused on putting in a good performance in the final third.
