Two out-of-form sides meet at the London Stadium on Monday night.

West Ham have played eight games in 2024 and are yet to win. Fans are not happy and just nine months on from lifting a European trophy, some are calling for boss David Moyes to go.

The atmosphere may not be great if Brentford get ahead in this one.

The Bees have won just twice in their last 13 and have subsequently drifted a little too close to the relegation zone for comfort - they will start this game five points above it - but recent performances have given some hope.

Liverpool ran out 4-1 winners last weekend but Brentford certainly caused them plenty of problems, with chances not taken. Then in midweek, Manchester City needed a fairly late goal to claim a narrow 1-0 win over the west London side.

Leg 1: Frank Onyeka 2+ shots

One of the eyecatchers from that game was Frank Onyeka, handed a return to the starting XI and playing in a forward-thinking midfield role.

He made some good runs into the box and ended up having three shots, all in the first half. Not too many manage that at the Etihad.

It was a display which should see him keep his spot here and it's interesting to note that his shots effort was not a one-off with six of his last eight starts for the Bees having seen him produce 2+ shots.

That's a 6/42.50 chance here and worth backing against a team who have conceded more shots than all bar two Premier League sides this season (Sheffield United and Luton).

Leg 2: Ben Mee 1+ shot

Brentford's set-piece prowess is also worth acting upon.

They've had the fourth-most shots from set-plays in the top flight and those efforts have them second in the set-piece expected goals (SP xG) table.

Sadly, a man I've mentioned in this column already this season - Ethan Pinnock - is currently out injured but in his absence, expect Ben Mee to become the man the Bees look to from set-pieces.

Mee has had 1+ shots in seven of his last 13 games and with the focus likely to be on the former Burnley man, I'll happily add him to a two-legged Bet Builder which pays just shy of 3/14.00.
