How to watch today’s West Ham vs Brentford clash: TV channel, live stream and kick-off time
West Ham host Brentford in the fifth round of the FA Cup at London Stadium on Monday.
Nuno Espirito Santo‘s side defeated Burton Albion 1-0 in the FA Cup fourth-round, and the Hammers have a brilliant chance to advance even further in the competition.
Although Brentford beat West Ham in their previous meeting in October, the Bees will face a much tougher test in E20 this time around.
The Hammers go into the match off the back of an impressive 1-0 league win at Fulham in midweek, and should feel confident of reaching the quarter-finals of the FA Cup for the first time since 2016.

Freddie Potts will be aiming for FA Cup redemption in West Ham vs Brentford
Potts was sent off in the win over Burton, and after serving a three-game suspension, he’ll finally be eligible to return to the pitch.
The academy graduate has a lot of room to grow, and he needs some of the senior players in the squad to exert leadership and help him during tough moments.
However, the 22-year-old has been impressive for West Ham this season, breaking into the first team and becoming a key part of their midfield under Nuno.
Potts may have let himself down with a poor challenge at the Pirelli Stadium, but he’ll be more motivated than ever to return to the side with an assured performance.
