Brentford vs West Ham predictions: Chris Sutton has his say

Chris Sutton is making predictions for all 380 Premier League matches again this season, against a variety of guests.

This week, he takes on singer-songwriter Willie J Healey, who is a Chelsea fan.

Sutton's prediction: 2-0

Whenever West Ham lose a couple of games, you hear the usual rumblings from the same old people, asking if manager David Moyes should still be in the job. It drives me potty. Moyes has done brilliantly and a spell of poor form doesn't change that.

Brentford went through a bit of a sticky patch themselves recently, with four defeats in seven games, but they are flying at the moment.

The Bees got a big win against Chelsea last week and, as I've said before, they are so well balanced and well organised.

I was tempted to go for another draw here, but I'm actually going to go for Brentford to edge it. They beat the Hammers 2-0 home and away in the league last year, so I have picked the same scoreline again.

Willie's prediction: 2-1

They beat us last week, but I do really like the way Brentford are playing and their results have picked up again after a spell of poor form.

West Ham are the ones having a bad patch at the moment, but similarly I admire what Moyes is doing and they will give the Bees a good game here - they might even score first.

Brentford's home form is very strong, though, so I am going to back them.
