- West Ham play Brentford on Saturday afternoon
- The Hammers are currently two points above the relegation zone
- Everyone is okay, despite some knocks
West Ham United take on Brentford this Saturday, looking to continue their good form in the Premier League survival fight. After winning last weekend, the Hammers sit two points above the bottom three, but the team know there is still work to do.
Brentford represent another challenge for West Ham. The Bees are chasing Europe, like Everton last week, but are without a win in seven games. Nuno Espirito Santo’s side will see this as an opportunity they cannot miss.
Nuno’s thoughts
Nuno confirms all players are “okay” despite “small knocks in training”.
On his Manager of the Month nomination: “I think the results have helped the atmosphere a lot. No matter what, we have to stick together, we have been through tough moments. We have been able to slowly change”.
On Saturday’s opposition, Brentford: “All of the games in the Premier League are intense. No matter what you are fighting for. It is going to be tough and we are preparing ourselves for Brentford.”
On Callum Wilson, after the strikers last minute goal last week: “It is very difficult and sometimes very unfair that we cannot put every player to start the game. Callum is one of the players that should deserve more [minutes]. He is giving back 1,000 times more. He has been getting goals which have been points for us, which is so crucial.”
On if he, or the team will watch Tottenham Hotspur‘s game with Aston Villa on Sunday: “Everyone is free to do whatever they want. Me, for sure, I am going to watch the game. Some players will watch the game. The priority is what you do.”
On West Ham‘s new interim CEO, Karim Virani: “I was with him today, the message between us was clear. Let’s do everything we can to help the team and accomplish our main goal.”
