Nuno Espirito Santo must arrest dismal West Ham record vs Brentford
West Ham host Brentford on Monday evening in a must-win contest.
West Ham are genuine relegation candidates after a poor start to the campaign, that has seen a change in manager already.
Nuno Espirito Santo is the man who has been tasked with keeping the Irons in the top-flight, and he has a challenge on his hands.
West Ham fans are disillusioned, and they will not have much hope after a new reveal ahead of the contest.
West Ham have a dismal record against Brentford
The Hammers have won just one of their eight matches against Brentford in the Premier League era, drawing once and losing six times, a truly grim record.
The 3-2 victory at the London Stadium in February 2024 was the only three points that the East London side have picked up against the Bees since they came into the division.
Their 13 per cent win rate is the lowest against all opposition they have faced more than three times in the top-flight, apart from Brighton, who they have only won against 6 per cent of the time.
Nuno needs to beat Brentford in rare West Ham feat
The Portuguese manager needs to arrest the dismal record, as his side need a victory, to unite the fanbase and get their season back on track.
Niclas Fullkrug and George Earthy are ruled out of the contest, but other than that, Nuno has a full roster at his disposal.
- The Hammers have lost five of their opening seven matches in the league
- Nuno has overseen a draw with Everton and a loss to Arsenal so far
- He needs a victory soon
He needs somebody to stand up and be counted and light the spark for his reign, a result that can turn their campaign around, and get it back on track.
The clash is the definition of a six-pointer, especially for the East London side, as they will not get out of their current situation if they do not start winning soon.
If they fail to do so, and succumb to another negative result against the West London outfit, the divide between the fans and the club may only increase.
