West Ham United will face Brentford at the London Stadium tonight, looking to reach the FA Cup quarter-finals for the first time in ten years after their recent derby win.
The Hammers advanced in the competition with narrow wins against QPR and Burton Albion. Manager Nuno Espírito Santo guided the team to a disciplined 1–0 win over Fulham on Wednesday, but they will be challenged by a Brentford side that has given them trouble in recent seasons.
West Ham aims to break a three-match losing streak at this stage, having been knocked out in the fifth round in 2021, 2022, and 2023.
West Ham United team news
Nuno Espírito Santo oversees a squad that’s gaining momentum, although he has a few late fitness decisions to make. Freddie Potts returns from a domestic suspension, adding depth to the midfield, especially with a crucial league match against Manchester City approaching.
Crysencio Summerville has been key to West Ham’s cup performance, scoring two goals and providing one assist. However, Pablo Felipe and Łukasz Fabiański are major doubts due to calf and back issues, respectively.
Alphonse Areola is expected to start in goal, with a defense likely featuring Konstantinos Mavropanos and Axel Disasi. In midfield, Soungoutou Magassa could team up with Mateus Fernandes, while Jarrod Bowen and Crysencio Summerville will likely play on the wings.
West Ham have achieved four clean sheets in their last ten matches across all competitions, a defensive effort that will be crucial against a strong Brentford attack tonight.
