West Ham United v Brentford

Lucas Paqueta is in contention to return for West Ham, having been absent since early January with a calf problem.

Kalvin Phillips serves a one-match ban after being sent off for two bookable offences at Nottingham Forest.

Brentford head coach Thomas Frank reported no fresh fitness concerns among his squad.

He hopes Bryan Mbeumo and Ethan Pinnock will return from ankle injuries after the March international break.
