West Ham v Brentford team news: Paqueta starts

26 February 2024 518 comments

Skonto Rigga

A West Ham United side that is winless in seven league matches takes on a Brentford outfit that has lost nine of their last 11.

Kick-off at the London Stadium is at 20:00 GMT.

The headline team news is a start for the fit-again Lucas Paqueta, who makes his first appearance in seven weeks.

He comes in for the benched Michail Antonio for the hosts.

Two other Hammers make way: Kalvin Phillips misses out as he serves a one-match ban for his Gameweek 25 red card, while Nayef Aguerd is demoted to substitute duty.

Tomas Soucek and Konstantinos Mavropanos both come back in to the starting XI.

Brentford also make three changes to the side that lost to Manchester City almost a week ago.

Thomas Frank recalls Neal Maupay, Mathias Jensen and Keane Lewis-Potter as Yoane Wissa, Vitaly Janelt and Mads Roerslev drop out.

The reverse fixture of this game was a five-goal thriller back in early November.

Brentford edged West Ham 3-2, with Mohammed Kudus racking up a double-digit haul.

GAMEWEEK 26 LINE-UPS

West Ham United XI: Areola, Coufal, Zouma, Mavropanos, Emerson Palmieri, Soucek, Alvarez, Lucas Paqueta, Ward-Prowse, Kudus, Bowen.

Subs: Fabianski, Johnson, Antonio, Ings, Ogbonna, Aguerd, Mubama, Scarles, Earthy.

Brentford XI: Flekken, Jorgensen, Ajer, Mee, Lewis-Potter, Onyeka, Norgaard, Jensen, Reguilon, Toney, Maupay.

Subs: Wissa, Ghoddos, Strakosha, Collins, Damsgaard, Baptiste, Janelt, Roerslev, Yarmolyuk.

Unreal. I promise you this is true:

Rival took a -8 to get Coufal, Bowen & Kudus on. I had a 21 points lead before this game - it’s all falling apart!!

OMFG I thought I was wrong for doing Diaz to Bowen for a hit and benching Branthwaite.

On 90 pts right now without Bowen's bonus points.

Hauls for Bowen, Bailey and Douglas Luiz. Good week for those who transferred in a player with a confirmed fixture in 29 instead of Hwang.

  It was never a penalty. Defender eased him off the ball. Happens 30 times every game. Wishful thinking in some quarters thats all.

  I played Bowen against United over Foden when he scored 20 points, look at how good Bowen is not, look how garbage united played last game, it was not a bad decision I got unlucky.

Fair play to the guy who replied to me here. Unfortunately I didn't listen. (I actually went Kudus over Hwang)
