West Ham and Brentford are heading into their cup encounter in good form, but with varying levels of attacking consistency. The Hammers have failed to score against only Bournemouth in their last five matches, even scoring against English giants (Liverpool and Manchester United). Brentford boasts a more organized defense, but rotations are still possible today.
In their October meeting at the London Stadium, Brentford prevailed (2-0), but the cup is a special tournament, and the hosts need revenge in front of their fans. Given that both teams have rarely left the field without scoring recently, and West Ham have scored in four of their five home games, we expect a goal-scoring contest to follow.
