It's been a good week and a half for Moyes' men. They eliminated Manchester United from the EFL Cup before clinching all three points against Leeds United in second-half stoppage time. The victory against Rapid Vienna made it three wins in a row across all competitions.
They will look to keep that momentum going but Moyes and his players will be well aware of the threat that the newly promoted Brentford side possesses.
Brentford held Liverpool to an exciting 3-3 draw at home last weekend thanks to goals from Ethan Pinnock, Vitaly Janelt and Yoane Wissa. Thomas Frank's men don't give up and their direct brand of football has caused plenty of trouble for Premier League teams so far.
The Bees have conceded just one defeat so far and are sitting ninth in the Premier League table with nine points from six games. Their Sunday opponents West Ham United have 11 points from six. The London Stadium is a difficult place to visit but Thomas Frank and co. will be raring to prove a point.

The London Stadium is a tough place to go to and come away with points. But Brentford will believe anything is possible, particularly after their 3-3 draw against an in-form Liverpool side.
The Hammers have played some good football so far this season and so have the Bees. Brentford will push West Ham on Sunday and this ought to be nothing short of a thriller.
