West Ham starting XI vs Brentford confirmed as the Hammers look for a vital three points in the Premier League.

West Ham United play host to Brentford in the Premier League at the London Stadium tonight and David Moyes has named his starting XI.

The Hammers are currently in the midst of a woeful run of form right now, and haven’t won a match in our last eight outings.

Moyes is under intense pressure, and if results do not improve it has been claimed that he could lose his job.

West Ham haven’t beaten Brentford since they got promoted to the Premier League, so tonight will be a very difficult game, although they are missing six key players.

West Ham starting XI vs Brentford confirmed

Moyes has made three changes from the team that lost to Nottingham Forest nine days ago, as confirmed by the club’s official X account.

Konstantinos Mavropanos, Tomas Soucek and Lucas Paqueta come into the side in place of Nayef Aguerd, Kalvin Phillips and Michail Antonio.

Alphonse Areola, Vladimir Coufal, Kurt Zouma, Konstantinos Mavropanos, Emerson Palmieri, Edson Alvarez, James Ward-Prowse, Tomas Soucek, Mohammed Kudus, Jarrod Bowen, Lucas Paqueta

The key tonight will be for the boys to begin the game on the front foot, so hopefully Moyes sends them out with that mindset.

Nothing less than a win and a really positive performance will do tonight. We can jump up to eighth place with a victory, level on points with seventh placed Brighton and only five adrift of sixth placed Manchester United.

Hopefully the London Stadium is bouncing and we finally get a very much belated win over Brentford. The West Ham starting XI selected by Moyes is more than good enough to get the job done.
