West Ham have lost each of their last four Premier League outings, they can ill afford a fifth successive defeat on Friday.
After signing a new contract as Brentford manager, Thomas Frank will look to build on a Boxing Day showing against Tottenham.

West Ham v Brentford Match Preview
When looking at the current Premier League table, it is fair to say that the usual middle portion has all but disappeared. You are either competing for European football or attempting to keep your heads above water.
While although both West Ham and Brentford find themselves in the second of these two top tier categories, it is the latter who are doing a much better job of swimming against the tide at present, as the tide takes them to the London Stadium on Friday.
Going into this clash, the Bees will be frustrated by only managing to earn a point from their Boxing Day meeting with Tottenham. After finding themselves two goals to the good, Antonio Conte’s men eventually found their way into the game.
Then again, Brentford and their manager Thomas Frank may have to be grateful for the point they picked up, as by the time Spurs found parity in the game it was only one way traffic being directed from North London.
A point in the bag and one more than West Ham managed to pick up a few hours later. They themselves had North London opposition to deal with and although they would take the lead against Arsenal, it was the Gunners who eventually eased their way to victory.
Something that the Hammers have failed to do in any of their last four league outings, 12 points on offer and none in the bank account. A slide down the table and perhaps not enough people are speaking about their current plight.
Are they too big to go down? Certainly not, as this division is just as ready to swallow up the likes of Everton, Wolves or Southampton at the same time and if a fifth successive loss is recorded this weekend, the pressure will only build further on the shoulders of David Moyes.
Should results go against Friday’s hosts, there is every chance that they will bring in 2023 in the bottom three and it may be an outcome that jolts the West Ham board into action. Action that shows manager Moyes the exit door.
Five successive defeats is usually the straw that breaks the camel’s back and with it being peak sacking season, this encounter may not be a must win for the West Ham boss but will certainly be a do not lose.
With that in mind, our latest bet builder is now up for grabs, and it looks like this:
- Brentford win or draw
- Ivan Toney to score anytime
- Both teams to score
- Under 4 total goals
For my latest bet builder offering, the spotlight is being shown on Ivan Toney and whether he can score in a third successive Premier League outing. If he can, then it will get this latest construction off the mark.
Especially as I see the Bees earning at least a point on Friday and when you factor in both teams scoring, this should mean that no more than three goals are scored in total. A combination that covers many bases in terms of outcome and offers you odds of 10/1 before they get underway.
