West Ham United are set to take on Brentford on Monday night in the FA Cup fifth round, but given the circumstances, could Nuno decide his line-up based on the next round?

West Ham will be the last game to commence in the fifth round of the FA Cup, meaning that all other teams would’ve been decided by the end of Sunday, with Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea, and Manchester City already confirmed to be through at this moment in time.

Due to the fixture taking place on Monday night, the draw for the Quarter Finals will take place BEFORE West Ham take on Brentford.

The Hammers are set to embark on a journey that consists of the final nine games of the season, a set of fixtures which will kick off with the Hammers taking on Manchester City at Home and ending against Leeds at the London Stadium too.

West Ham captain Jarrod Bowen recently came out, suggesting that West Ham ‘don’t want to rely on other teams’, but the reality of the situation is that it is required and very much needed to help the Hammers.

How does the saying go again? Wait for one and four come along! It’s West Ham United’s fourth clean sheet in all competitions since Burnley, which was coincidentally the beginning of where Herman took between the sticks.

The Hammers secured a vital three points at Craven Cottage with a well-thought-out performance from Nuno, where the head coach decided to return to the 4-4-2 formation, which secured yet another victory.
