The Bees maintain possession in the midfield, patiently looking for an opening. Pinnock then attempts to lift the ball forward for Schade, who makes a break for it. However, the linesman’s flag goes up, signaling that Schade was in an offside position, halting Brentford's attacking momentum and giving West Ham a chance to regroup defensively.

Emerson is the first player in the book for a late lunge on Schade in midfield.

Ajer's attempt to play Lewis-Potter through is cut out, forcing Brentford to reset by going back to Flekken. They try to rebuild from the back, but Yarmoliuk’s forward pass intended for Mbeumo is misjudged, rolling harmlessly to Areola.

Mbeumo sends a dangerous low cross into the box, but Todibo steps in to make a crucial interception as the game opens up in the final moments. Brentford keep pressing, and Yarmoliuk finds space on the right to deliver another cross into the area. However, Kilman is well-positioned and heads it clear to relieve the pressure.

Brentford's defensive struggles continued last weekend, as they failed to keep a clean sheet for the sixth consecutive competitive match this season. Their defeat against Tottenham saw them slip further down the Premier League table, landing in the bottom half. Returning to the Brentford Community Stadium, where they have earned all six of their Premier League points so far, the Bees will be hoping to turn things around as they face another struggling side, West Ham United, who also find themselves battling to regain form. This clash could provide Brentford the opportunity to steady their season against another London rival.

Hello everyone and welcome to Tribe's live coverage of this Premier League clash where Brentford host West Ham. I'm Sanil Karan, and I'll be guiding you through all the action today. Stay tuned as we bring you every moment from this exciting encounter.

NO PENALTY AGAIN! Janelt seizes on a loose ball and makes a determined effort to get a shot off in the box. However, he goes down after what seems to be contact with Wan-Bissaka, prompting the Brentford players to appeal for a penalty. The referee, unmoved by the claims, waves play on, signaling that Janelt's fall was a result of his own miscalculation rather than a foul, much to the frustration of the Bees.

BLOCK! Wan-Bissaka delivers a well-timed pass to Paqueta, who finds space behind the defensive line on the right. Paqueta then lifts a cross toward the far left post, aiming for Antonio. While the ball sails over Antonio's head, Kudus manages to get a touch on it, but his effort is thwarted by a solid block from van den Berg.

Paqueta makes a determined run down the left flank, looking to find Antonio in the box with a low, precise pass. However, Collins reads the play well and steps in just in time to intercept the ball.

Yegor Yarmoliuk receives a yellow card for a late challenge on Rodriguez, demonstrating his frustration as he attempts to disrupt West Ham's momentum.

That wraps up our coverage for this match. Thank you for joining us, and don’t go too far, as we’ll be back soon for Liverpool's exciting clash against Wolves, which kicks off in less than half an hour. Until next time, this is Sanil Karan signing off.

Antonio spots Paqueta on the left and plays the ball back into midfield to reset the attack. Emerson then decides to take a shot from distance, but as he strikes the ball, he slips, causing his effort to wobble off course. The shot veers wide of the left post by a significant margin.

WEST HAM TEAM NEWS: West Ham remain without Nicklas Fullkrug, sidelined since the international break, but Julen Lopetegui still makes two of his three changes in attack. Michail Antonio returns to lead the line, with Jarrod Bowen shifting out wide and Summerville dropping to the bench. In midfield, Tomas Soucek is back, while Jean-Clair Todibo comes into the defense as Lopetegui looks to tighten up at the back and address their recent defensive struggles.

Brentford earn another free kick on the left flank, providing them with another opportunity to deliver a set piece into the box. Carvalho steps up and sends the ball in, but the West Ham defense initially allows it to bounce, creating a moment of uncertainty. However, they recover quickly and manage to clear the danger on the second attempt.

BRENTFORD TEAM NEWS: Christian Norgaard misses out for Brentford as he hasn't fully recovered from the minor injury he picked up against Leyton Orient. The only change for the hosts from their defeat to Tottenham sees Kevin Schade come into the starting lineup, with Yegor Yarmolyuk dropping to the bench.

The home side has looked more organized and dynamic, making it difficult for West Ham to break down their defenses. Despite occasionally giving up space with their attacking approach, Brentford have managed to keep West Ham at bay, allowing them very few clear-cut chances. Their defensive solidity has been complemented by a few promising moments in attack, showcasing their intent to take control of the match. In contrast, West Ham have endured a frustrating first half, lacking creativity and urgency in their play. They have not managed to pose a serious threat to the Brentford goal, and their attacking players have often appeared isolated. Bowen's efforts to orchestrate the play have not been enough, as the team seems disjointed and unable to find a consistent flow.

Mbeumo spots Schade making a run behind the defensive line and plays a clever pass to release him. As Schade advances, he is forced wide by the West Ham defense and attempts to return the ball to Mbeumo. However, Mbeumo finds himself crowded out by defenders, resulting in a loss of possession.

Lewis-Potter expertly cuts inside from the left flank and connects with Damsgaard, who sends a cross into the box. However, Kilman is alert to the danger and heads it away, preventing any threat to West Ham's goal. Brentford quickly earn a corner, but Mbeumo's delivery fails to trouble the Hammers, as it is cleared with relative ease.

Janelt and Damgaard link up effectively in the midfield, creating a brief moment of fluidity in Brentford's play. Janelt then attempts to lift a pass over the defense for Schade on the right flank, but unfortunately, he overhits it. The ball sails out of play, frustrating Brentford.

Aware that his team narrowly avoided relegation last season, Brentford manager Thomas Frank was quite satisfied with their overall effort in the match against Tottenham, despite the loss. However, if the Bees are to surpass their finish from the previous campaign, Frank knows they must address their inconsistent home form. Last season, Brentford managed to win only two of sixteen home games against fellow Premier League sides that stayed clear of relegation. Improving their record at Brentford Community Stadium will be crucial if they aim to climb higher up the table this year.

Summerville and Ings replace Paqueta and Antonio in attack for the Hammers.

West Ham fans are already showing signs of frustration with new manager Julen Lopetegui, particularly over his tactical changes, which became evident when his decision to substitute Summerville during the Chelsea defeat was met with boos from the stands. However, there is a glimmer of hope for Lopetegui, as the three losses this season have come against teams that finished the last matchday in the top five of the table. In contrast, the Hammers have managed to collect their four points against lower-ranked opposition. With upcoming matches against Brentford and Ipswich, Lopetegui may have the opportunity to stabilize the team's form and build some momentum before facing tougher challenges later against Tottenham and Manchester United. This next stretch of games could be crucial in winning over supporters and establishing much-needed consistency.

Soler floats a pass towards Bowen on the right, whose low cross is blocked by a defender. Bowen gathers the rebound and switches play to Summerville on the left, but his half-cross, half-shot is quickly blocked by Pinnock. The resulting corner from Bowen is whipped in from the left but easily dealt with by Brentford’s defense.

Schade goes down off the ball, appearing to struggle with an issue concerning his left ankle. He immediately signals for assistance and makes his way to the touchline to receive treatment.

Damsgaard connects with Janelt, who then lifts the ball into the box, aiming to create a scoring opportunity. Both Mbeumo and Wan-Bissaka challenge for the ball, but the referee blows the whistle, calling a foul against Mbeumo as Wan-Bissaka manages to get to it first. 

Yarmoliuk, finding himself crowded out on the right, lays it back for Carvalho. Carvalho attempts to lift the ball into the box, but misjudges his delivery, sending it straight out of play without troubling the West Ham defense.

Lewis-Potter earns himself a needless yellow card after his frustration boils over. After failing to keep the ball in play on the left touchline, he lashes it into the hoardings, drawing the referee's attention.

Lewis-Potter attempts to advance the ball down the left flank but loses possession to Wan-Bissaka, who defends effectively. Despite this setback, Brentford quickly regain their defensive shape, making it difficult for West Ham to push forward. As a result, West Ham find themselves pushed back, struggling to find any space to mount an attack.

SHOT! Yarmoliuk seizes a loose ball and quickly creates some space for himself just outside the area. He unleashes a snap shot aimed at the left side of the goal, but the effort lacks the necessary power to trouble the goalkeeper. Alphonse Areola is alert and produces a solid save.

We're back underway for the second half as West Ham kick off, determined to make a strong comeback. In a bid to shake things up, manager Julen Lopetegui has made two substitutions, bringing on Soler and Mavropanos in place of Kudus and Emerson. This tactical switch reflects the Hammers' urgency to turn the tide of the match and inject fresh energy into their performance as they aim to claw back from their disappointing first half.

Brentford earn a free kick on the left, and Mbeumo steps up to take it. His delivery is dangerous, curling towards the far right post and threatening to create a scoring opportunity. However, Todibo rises to the occasion, delivering a crucial first header to clear the danger and prevent Brentford from capitalizing on the set piece.

West Ham's inconsistent start to the season under Julen Lopetegui was evident in their London derby against Brentford, where they fell behind just a minute into the match when Bryan Mbeumo capitalized on a pass from Fabio Carvalho to score. Brentford continued to apply pressure, with West Ham struggling to generate any meaningful attacks in the opening half-hour, as both Mohammed Kudus and Guido Rodriguez missed their shooting opportunities. Although West Ham began to find some rhythm as the first half progressed, Kudus' volley was blocked by Sepp van den Berg, and they ultimately failed to register a single shot on target before the halftime whistle.

Carvalho had a poor day other than that assist. He is off and Konak is on to replace him for Brentford.

Brentford win a corner on the left and opt for a short routine as Mbeumo takes charge of the set piece. He quickly passes it to Janelt, who aims to lift the ball into the box for his teammates. However, West Ham's Bowen is alert to the danger and manages to see it out, resulting in a goal kick that relieves some pressure on the visitors.

Mbeumo's mazy dribble down the left flank eludes multiple defenders. The subsequent cross into the box is intercepted by Todibo with a well-timed header.

Brentford head into halftime with a solid performance, demonstrating greater control and cohesion compared to their opponents. The Bees have successfully maintained possession and created several opportunities, capitalizing on West Ham's defensive lapses. Conversely, West Ham have struggled to find their rhythm, often playing in fits and starts, which has hindered their ability to mount a sustained attack.

Bowen is off and Irving is on to replace him in the closing stages. 

Janelt showcases excellent anticipation in the midfield, stepping in to intercept an attempted pass from Rodriguez. He looks to quickly transition to offense, aiming to exploit the moment and create an opportunity for Brentford. However, Rodriguez demonstrates his resilience by recovering possession just in time.

Lewis-Potter showcases his skill on the left flank, skillfully cutting inside two defenders to advance toward the penalty area. Once inside the box, he delivers a low cross aimed at his teammates, but Todibo reads the play perfectly, managing to block the ball just in time.

Wan Bissaka displays some impressive footwork near the left corner flag, skillfully maneuvering past three Brentford players. However, despite his clever play, he loses control at the last moment and the ball rolls out of play.

Kilman receives a yellow card after a physical clash with Mbeumo near the halfway line, as both players jostle for possession. 

OVER! Soucek's blocked shot lands at the feet of Kilman, who quickly sets up Kudus just outside the box. Kudus lines up his strike, but his effort lacks precision and sails high over the bar.

Janelt plays a pass to Mbeumo on the right, where he skillfully evades Kudus with ease. However, as he looks to deliver a cross into the box, the quality of the ball lets him down, allowing Emerson to easily block the attempt.

Mbeumo delivers a swinging corner from the left, looking to create an opening for Brentford. Kilman rises to meet it and heads the ball clear, but Collins quickly sends it back into the box. Todibo, staying alert, heads it away again as West Ham continue to withstand the pressure. The Hammers are holding on defensively, trying to weather Brentford's relentless attacks.

SAVE! West Ham launch a quick counter-attack through Kudus, who finds himself isolated on the left flank, with Collins and Van den Berg closely tracking him. As Kudus approaches the goal from a tight angle, he opts to take the shot, but it heads straight toward Flekken, who beats it away.

SHOT! Schade delivers a cross from the right, but it is promptly headed away by the West Ham defense. However, van den Berg is quick to react, collecting the loose ball and deciding to take a shot. Unfortunately for Brentford, his effort sails high and wide of the left post.
