West Ham United are back at the London Stadium on Monday, October 20, hoping to finally collect their first Premier League home points of the season when they face Brentford. It's been a rough start for the Hammers, who have yet to find any rhythm in front of their fans.
New manager Nuno Espirito Santo will take charge of his first league game at home, and there's a sense that this one could shape how quickly things turn around under him. As SoftFootball reported, Nuno began his West Ham reign with a gritty draw against Everton , but this time, the fans will expect more than just effort-they need a win.
Brentford arrive knowing their away form has been a problem. Keith Andrews' side have looked decent at home but haven't managed to turn that energy into results on the road. Their biggest frustration is that they've taken early leads in two of their three away defeats but still ended up with nothing.
