West Ham vs Brentford kicks off on 9 Mar at 14:30 EST and 19:30 GMT.

Match preview

West Ham have been playing it safe lately, keeping things tight and steering clear of unnecessary risks. Two wins, three draws, and just one defeat in their last six across all competitions show a side that values control, with only Liverpool finding a way through their usually disciplined defence. 

At home, the Hammers look sharper - cutting down chances near their own goal and setting the pace at a steady rhythm. Still, Brentford have made life tricky for them here before, so a solid backline could be the difference.

Brentford, on the other hand, bring a bit more bite. Three wins, two draws, and one loss in their last six across all competitions underline a team that likes to get on the front foot. They’re braver in possession, quicker in transition, and always looking to carve open opportunities in the final third. It’s a clash of styles: West Ham’s caution versus Brentford’s ambition.

Key stats & injury news

For West Ham, the encouraging news is Pablo Felipe moving closer to full fitness as he works his way back from a calf injury. The Brazilian striker only joined the Hammers in January after lighting up the Portuguese league, where he scored 10 goals and chipped in with an assist across just 13 matches. Lukasz Fabianski, meanwhile, is still hampered by a back problem, which has kept him from being fully available.

Brentford’s update was far less encouraging. Keith Andrews confirmed Rico Henry picked up a hamstring injury in the Bournemouth draw, ruling him out for several weeks. He joins a growing list of absentees: Fabio Carvalho, Antoni Milambo, and Josh Dasilva are all sidelined with knee problems, while Aaron Hickey (thigh) and Vitaly Janelt (ankle) remain unavailable. The only glimmer of hope is Reiss Nelson, who could make a late push to return despite his calf concern.

  • Smart TVs & Fire Stick: Most Android-based TVs and devices like the Amazon Fire TV Stick or Google Chromecast with Google TV have native VPN apps. Simply search for your VPN provider in the app store on your TV, log in, and connect just like you would on your phone.
