2021/22 English Premier League
Matchday 32
Brentford v West Ham United
Brentford Community Stadium
London, England
Sunday, 10 April 2022
Kick-off is at 15h00
Brentford will be hoping to build on their victory against Chelsea when they host West Ham in another
London derby on Sunday, April 10.
The Bees claimed a shock 4-1 win over the Blues at Stamford Bridge last weekend, scoring three times in the space of 10 minutes after Antonio Rudiger had opened the scoring early in the second half.
It was a third success in four games for Thomas Frank's side, who closed within three points of the top-10 in 14th place.

Christian Eriksen registered his first goal for the club and Frank hailed the midfielder's influence on the team and his remarkable recovery to return to the highest level after suffering a cardiac arrest at Euro 2020.
"Christian is a top player, an unbelievable character and he brings quality and calmness to the team. You can give it to Christian and he'll always find a solution," he said.
"From the beginning I thought 'everything has been checked in his entire body'. He didn't have an injury like an ACL and when he took that decision that he wanted to play in the World Cup, that determination, 'I want to come back into football' [was there] and his foundation physically was quite good.
"We never knew how quick it would take to get to this level but it's impressive how quick."
The Hammers remain in the mix for a top-four finish after beating Everton 2-1 at the London Stadium on Sunday to go level on 51 points with Manchester United.
The three-point haul took them above the Red Devils into sixth position, although the east Londoners have played at least one game more than all the teams above them in the standings.

David Moyes has set his sights on reaching 60 points after seeing the Irons pass the previous milestone of 50 with the triumph over the Toffees.
"We've gone past 50 points and that's another target ticked off. I said let's get to 30 points, then it's 40 points and after that the next target is 50," Moyes said.
"Now it's how quickly we can get to 60, because when you get to a number with a six in front of it, you're getting into the territory of challenging for things.
"We want to keep it up, we want to challenge - we've got a challenge in our league to try and be a European team through our league position."
