West Ham United Prepares for Important Match Against Brentford
West Ham United is getting ready for a crucial London derby against Brentford. The team is eager to break a streak of four games without a win, which includes one draw and three losses.
Nuno Espirito Santo, who recently took over as West Ham’s manager, is looking for his first victory with the club. He replaced Graham Potter less than a month ago. So far, Nuno has managed to secure one point in his first two games, against Everton and Arsenal.
This home game against Brentford presents a good opportunity for West Ham to turn things around. The team has been searching for their second Premier League win since their impressive 3-0 victory over Nottingham Forest in August.
Possible Lineup for West Ham
Despite their recent loss to Arsenal, Nuno is expected to make only one change to the starting lineup.
The defensive lineup is likely to remain the same, with Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Konstantinos Mavropanos, Max Kilman, and El Hadji Malick Diouf playing in front of goalkeeper Alphonse Areola.
Midfielder Tomas Soucek is available again after serving a three-match suspension. However, he might start on the bench since he has been away from the team for over a month. This could give Mateus Fernandes and Soungoutou Magassa another chance to play in midfield.
Fernandes and Magassa have shown potential to bring energy and creativity to West Ham’s midfield.
Lucas Paqueta, who has been performing well, is expected to continue in the number 10 role. Jarrod Bowen and Crysencio Summerville are likely to play on the wings.
The only change to the starting lineup is expected to be in the striker position. Callum Wilson is likely to replace Niclas Fullkrug, who is currently injured.
Predicted West Ham Starting XI
Here’s a possible lineup for West Ham:
Goalkeeper: Areola
Defenders: Wan-Bissaka, Mavropanos, Kilman, Diouf
Midfielders: Fernandes, Magassa
Attacking Midfielders: Bowen, Paqueta, Summerville
Striker: Wilson
West Ham will be hoping that this lineup can bring them the win they desperately need against Brentford.
