David Moyes needs to completely change his formation for the Brentford vs West Ham United clash this weekend.
West Ham head to west London to take on Brentford in the Premier League on Saturday, and David Moyes has some big problems facing him.

Edson Alvarez and Lucas Paqueta are both suspended for the clash with the Bees, and that will obviously cause us all sorts of problems against Thomas Frank’s well-drilled side.
From a selection perspective, Tomas Soucek will obviously come back into the side in place of Alvarez, after being left on the bench for the Everton clash.
Konstantinos Mavropanos and Said Benrahma should come into the side in place of Lucas Paqueta and Michail Antonio as well.
And in order to get those players into the team, Moyes needs to completely change the formation…
David Moyes must use completely new formation for Brentford vs West Ham clash
The Scot should set up his side in a 3-4-3 formation against the Bees on Saturday.
Mavropanos could then start as a central defender, alongside Kurt Zouma and Nayef Aguerd in a three-man defence.
Emerson Palmieri and Vladimir Coufal could then operate as wing-backs, with Soucek and James Ward-Prowse in the middle of the park.
Then Mohammed Kudus and Said Benrahma could sit just behind Jarrod Bowen in attack.
In my opinion, that will be the best way for us to set up. Mavropanos has been brilliant when he’s come into the side and deserves a start in the Premier League.
The 3-4-3 system would also enable Ward-Prowse to play further forward, and get him away from that deep-lying role that he has struggled in so badly of late.
In addition to all of that, Bowen, Kudus and Benrahma sounds like a pretty decent front three to me, in spite of the Algerian’s poor form of late.
Listen, playing Brentford away is never easy, and this weekend’s game will be no different. However, I strongly believe that West Ham’s best chance of getting a positive result is to set up in a 3-4-3 system.
Let’s hope that Moyes is thinking along the same lines.
