Nuno Espirito Santo has named an unchanged West Ham United line-up for the fourth successive Premier League match ahead of Saturday’s 3pm kick-off against Brentford.
The Hammers make the short trip to the Gtech Community Stadium on a high.
Callum Wilson scored a stoppage-time winner against Everton seven days ago, meaning West Ham United can go five points clear of relegation rivals Tottenham should they win today and Spurs lose at Villa Park on Sunday.
West Ham United unchanged for trip to Brentford Give us your IMMEDIATE reaction to West Ham’s XI… ⚒️ 🆚 🐝
Pablo ahead of Wilson again. And no Freddie Potts…
Speaking in his pre-match press conference, Nuno acknowledged his ‘very unfair’ treatment of Wilson and he leaves the veteran poacher on the bench again.
Wilson has put the ‘super’ in ‘supersub’ at times, and this is a role he may have to play for the second week running as Pablo Felipe starts alongside Taty Castellanos.

Kyle Walker-Peters also keeps his place ahead of Aaron Wan-Bissaka. Freddie Potts is not among the substitutes for an as-yet unconfirmed reason.
This means that Keiber Lamadrid, the Venezuela international signed on loan during the January transfer window, is part of a Premier League squad for only the second time.
If Nuno keeps us up, where does he sit among West Ham’s BEST managers?
Brentford, meanwhile, are still without Jordan Henderson. The vastly-experienced former England international and Liverpool captain misses out, though Vitaly Janelt is back on the bench for the Bees.
