The Premier League is set for its final round of fixtures this weekend, with West Ham and Brentford kicking us off this evening as they clash in the English capital. The Irons are without a league win since October and face slipping into the relegation zone if they fail to win, while the Bees are unbeaten since a 4-0 defeat to Aston Villa over two months ago.

Today’s match will bring an end to a rollercoaster year for both clubs, with David Moyes’ side almost eight months on from their heartbreaking defeat to Eintracht Frankfurt in the Europa League semi-finals. While the Hammers have faltered in the second half of 2022, things have gone from strength to strength for Brentford, who have recently secured Thomas Frank on a new contract.

Kurt Zouma is nearing a return after failing to make an appearance for West Ham since before the World Cup due to a knee injury, though tonight’s match may come too soon for him and he could instead be fit to face Leeds United next week. Maxwel Cornet will also miss out with the calf problem that has kept him out of action for almost three months.
