West Ham United host Brentford at the London Stadium tonight, aiming to reach the FA Cup quarter-finals for the first time in a decade and build on their midweek derby success.
The Hammers have moved into the final stages of the competition following hard-fought wins over QPR and Burton Albion. Manager Nuno Espírito Santo oversaw a disciplined 1–0 victory at Fulham on Wednesday, and his side now faces a Brentford team they have struggled against in recent seasons.
Notably, West Ham are looking to end a three-match losing streak at this stage of the competition, having been eliminated in the fifth round in 2021, 2022, and 2023.
West Ham United team news
Nuno Espírito Santo manages a squad finding its rhythm but faces a few late fitness calls. Notably, Freddie Potts is available for selection after serving a domestic suspension. Consequently, he provides a fresh option in a midfield that may see some rotation ahead of a massive league meeting with Manchester City.
Notably, Crysencio Summerville has been the creative heartbeat of West Ham’s cup run, contributing all three of their goals in the competition so far (2 goals, 1 assist). However, Pablo Felipe and Łukasz Fabiański remain major doubts with calf and back issues, respectively.
Alphonse Areola is expected to start in goal, protected by a defensive line likely featuring Konstantinos Mavropanos and Axel Disasi. In midfield, Soungoutou Magassa could partner Mateus Fernandes, allowing Jarrod Bowen and Crysencio Summerville to operate from wide areas.
On a positive note, West Ham have kept four clean sheets in their last ten matches across all competitions, a level of defensive discipline that will be critical against a clinical Brentford attack tonight.
