West Ham team news
Pablo is still likely to be out, although Nuno Espirito Santo has returned to training. There is also an injury concern for Mateus Fernandes, who came off injured against Fulham. West Ham's priority is staying in the Premier League, so Nuno will likely field a second-string XI against Brentford. Alphonse Areola will likely start in goal, and players who are lacking game time, such as Adama Traore, may also play from the start.
Brentford team news
The Bees have a few injury concerns and are likely to be without Reiss Nelson, Fabio Carvalho, Antoni Milambo, Josh Dasilva, Vitaly Janelt, and Aaron Hickey. Brentford are currently seventh in the Premier League, so they have an outside chance of qualifying for Europe via the division. However, the FA Cup is a great opportunity to win a trophy and play soccer on the continent.

West Ham vs. Brentford prediction
West Ham claimed a great victory in their last Premier League game against Fulham. However, given their focus is on avoiding relegation, there will likely be many changes from the side that beat the Cottagers. The Hammers also struggled against Burton Albion in the last round of the FA Cup.
As Brentford are in a great position in the league, they have the luxury of going for the FA Cup as well. Therefore, I expect a 2-1 win for the Bees.
