Jansson misses out as Frank makes two changes - Confirmed Brentford team to face West Ham

Brentford have named their starting XI for their Premier League clash against West Ham United this afternoon.

Thomas Frank has made two key changes for this afternoon's meeting against the Hammers, with Yoane Wissa and Zanka replacing Pontus Jansson and Mads Roerslev.

The Bees have also reverted from a back three to a back four, with Kristoffer Ajer and Rico Henry operating as the full-backs with Zanka and Pinnock in the centre of defence.

The midfield trio of Christian Eriksen, Christian Norgaard and Vitaly Janelt remains unchanged from last weekend's win at Stamford Bridge, and it looks like Brentford are going all out attack with Bryan Mbeumo, Ivan Toney and Yoane Wissa operating as the attacking trio - who will look to cause West Ham problems.

There is a noticeable inclusion on the bench, and it sees Julian Jeanvier return to the matchday squad for the first time since the 2020 Championship play-off final, having been out for a long time with an anterior cruciate ligament injury.

Brentford XI vs West Ham: Raya; Ajer, Pinnock, Zanka; Eriksen, Norgaard, Janelt, Henry; Mbeumo, Toney, Wissa.

Subs: Fernandez, Canos, Jensen, Ghoddos, Jeanvier, Fosu, Baptiste, Mads Bech, Roerslev.

Referee: Martin Atkinson
