Two struggling teams, West Ham and Brentford, will look to return to their winning ways when they face off in a London derby this Saturday.
The hosts were unlucky in their last league outing, where they fell 1-2 against Chelsea after going one up in that match. This defeat pushed them to 16th place in the Premier League table, just 10 points above the relegation division.
On the other side, Brentford was held to a disappointing 0-2 loss against Tottenham Hotspur at their home last time out. They have managed to win just one game in their last five outings across all the competitions.

West Ham vs. Brentford lineups, team news
The hosts welcomed their right-winger Jarrod Bowen in the last game against Chelsea, who returned after recovering from a foot injury. Bowen’s addition played a key role as he went on to score the only goal for his club in that match.
Niclas Fullkrug (thigh) and Michail Antonio (leg) will be missing this contest with their respective injuries alongside Crysencio Summerville (hamstring), but all of Lucas Paqueta (groin), Edson Alvarez (unspecified), and Jean-Clair Todibo (unspecified) are expected to be available.
Evan Ferguson, the 20-year-old striker loanee from Brighton & Hove Albion, is awaiting his debut and is likely to be in the queue for some time more.
West Ham predicted XI (3-4-2-1, right to left): Areola (GK) — Coufal, Kilman, Cresswell — Wan-Bissaka, Alvarez, Soucek, Emerson — Kudus, Paqueta — Bowen.
Injured: Fullkrug, Antonio, Summerville

As for the visitors, they will be hoping to see their first choice goalkeeper Mark Flekken back in the team after missing the last game against Tottenham due to a side strain.
Aaron Hickey (thigh), Igor Thiago (knee), Gustavo Nunes (back), Rico Henry (thigh) and Josh Dasilva (knee) will remain absent from this clash with their respective injuries.

West Ham vs. Brentford Prediction
For the Hammers, they are badly struggling with their form this season even after the change in coaches is not helping them much. Three of their last three matches were against London rivals, and they managed to win just a single game. Meanwhile, the Bees are yet to win a match in their last two outings against West Ham.
West Ham will have the home advantage, and they will be confident here, but their defensive loophole might give an opportunity to Brentford.
Prediction: West Ham 2-2 Brentford
