West Ham vs Brentford prediction
West Ham have been superb so far this season and go into the game as favourites despite Brentford already having shown their ability to mix it with the best.
However, you wonder if their Thursday night escapades may prove something of a leveller, with the Bees having had a full week off since drawing with Liverpool.
