Newly appointed West Ham manager Nuno Espirito Santo has urged fans to fill London Stadium for the upcoming match against Brentford. This will be Nuno's first home game since replacing Graham Potter. Despite starting the season with a draw against Everton and a loss to Arsenal, West Ham faces the challenge of regaining fan support amid dissatisfaction with the club's management.

Nuno expressed hope that supporters will back the team in the tough clash with Brentford, emphasizing the importance of building a strong connection with fans to turn the stadium into a fortress. However, the fan group Hammers United has shown support for the team but insists on a boycott due to current club management issues.

Brentford's manager, Keith Andrews, stated that his team aims to capitalize on the tense atmosphere at the stadium. Brentford is still seeking their first away points this season and will look for a strong start to leverage the situation.
