The West Ham United players will be feeling somewhat disenchanted with their inability to pick up any points from their away fixture against Nottingham Forest recently, that ended in a 2-0 defeat.  Their share of possession in that meeting was 51%, while racking up 10 shots along the way, 3 of which were on target, in contrast to Nottingham Forest, who had 19 shots on goal with 8 on target.  

Manager David Moyes will be looking to hit the reset button after his team's terrible performances in their last 6 games, having scored only 3 goals, conceded 14, and picked up a meagre 3 points.  Not only have they failed to score in 4 of their last 6 games, but they have also failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.  

Results wise, their recent poor run of form has left them without a win in 6 games.

Brentford won't feel too deflated by the 1-0 away defeat to Manchester City, given that their opponents sit a full 12 places above them in the league table.  In that game they recorded 30 % of the possession, with 6 attempts on goal, 2 on target. Their opponents found the target on 11 of their 25 shots on goal.  

Manager Thomas Frank will be shining a spotlight on his team's poor defensive record of late, having conceded 13 goals in their last 6 games, despite picking up a modest amount of points due in no small part to the 9 goals they managed at the other end.   They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but so far this season they have conceded a goal at least once in 21 of their 25 games.  

They've had a dismal run of form on their travels recently, losing all but 1 of their last 6 away games, a solitary win providing little consolation.  

Ivan Toney will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 4 goals in the last 6 league games for Brentford.
