Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at how West Ham United could line up for Saturday's Premier League clash with Brentford.

West Ham United new boy Evan Ferguson should be in line for his first minutes in an Irons shirt when Graham Potter's men host Brentford in Saturday's Premier League London derby.

The Brighton & Hove Albion-owned striker completed a deadline-day move to the London Stadium, but he was of course not involved in the 2-1 loss to Chelsea that same night.

With the Hammers not in FA Cup action over the weekend, Ferguson has now had over a week to get acclimatised to his new surroundings, but even with Niclas Fullkrug and Michail Antonio still sidelined, he should not come into contention for a start just yet.

Potter is hopeful of having Lucas Paqueta back from injury this weekend, meaning that the Brazilian could comprise a threatening attacking trident with Jarrod Bowen and Mohammed Kudus.

Makeshift striker Bowen's opening goal against Chelsea was his 49th for West Ham in the Premier League - only Antonio has ever hit the half-century mark for the Irons in the competition.

Potter also expects to have Edson Alvarez available again, so the Mexican could take Andy Irving's place alongside Tomas Soucek in the middle, while Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Emerson Palmieri bomb down the flanks as ever.

However, the West Ham manager has conceded that Jean-Clair Todibo should only be fit enough for a spot on the bench, so Aaron Cresswell, Max Kilman and Vladimir Coufal should reprise their roles in front of Alphonse Areola.

West Ham United possible starting lineup:
Areola; Coufal, Kilman, Cresswell; Wan-Bissaka, Alvarez, Soucek, Emerson; Kudus, Paqueta; Bowen
