Premier League 2025-2026: West Ham-Brentford, the likely lineups.

On Monday night at 9 p.m. West Ham and Brentford will compete at London Stadium in the eighth round of the Premier League. The hosts absolutely need to win to get out of the red zone.

Nuno Espírito Santo will rely on Wilson as the offensive terminal, supported by Bowen, Lucas Paqueta and Summerville. Fernandes and Magassa in front of the defense composed of Wan-Bissaka, Mavropanos, Kilman and Diouf, between the posts Areola confirmed.

3-4-1-2 the form chosen by Andrews to face the Hammers: in front of Kelleher will be Ajer, Van den Berg and Collins. Kayode and Hickey on the side-lanes, in the middle space for Jensen and Henderson with Damsgaard behind the Igor Thiago-Schade offensive tandem.

The Hammers will be the main players.

In January, Graham Potter took over on the West Ham bench, then in late September he was replaced by Nuno Espírito Santo, who has since left Nottingham Forest. The change of technical leadership has not produced the hoped-for effects: the Hammers are second-to-last with 4 points in 7 games, the result of 1 win and 1 draw.

Slightly above Brentford, which momentarily occupies the 16th position in the standings with 7 points (2 wins and 1 draw).
