The England icon has opened up ahead of the weekend's fixtures.

England legend Terry Butcher is predicting more misery for West Ham fans this weekend.

The retired Three Lions ace is tipping Brentford to beat the Hammers on Saturday - a result which would see the East London side continue a miserable run of form.


Last weekend they were thumped 3-0 at home by London-rivals Chelsea.

And during the week they lost 5-1 at Anfield in a defeat which saw them crash out of the League Cup at the hands of Liverpool.

Now, in his weekly GB News football predictions, Butcher, 65 is predicting the Bees will be left buzzing after the weekend with a 2-1 win over West Ham.

Elsewhere Butcher, who is now often hired as a keynote speaker following his retirement from the game, is tipping Man City, Arsenal and Chelsea to win.

And he expects Everton - who announced details of a proposed takeover this week - to maintain the feel-good factor by beating Crystal Palace.

Ex Ipswich-ace Butcher - who won 77 England caps during a glittering career - is also backing Liverpool and Bournemouth to grab wins. He thinks Notts Forest vs Fulham, Ipswich vs Villa and Man Utd vs Spurs will all end in draws.

Brentford will fancy their chances of making it three blistering starts on the spin when they come up against West Ham.

Already under pressure only seven games into his reign at the London Stadium, Julen Lopetegui took responsibility for his team’s dreadful defending against Chelsea last weekend.

But he was adamant the scoreline in his team’s 5-1 midweek loss at Liverpool in the Carabao Cup did not reflect his side’s performance.

Against Chelsea, the Spaniard brought in Guido Rodríguez and Edson Álvarez to add defensive cover, before thinking better of it and replacing the Spaniard before half-time. With Rodríguez yet to convince and Álvarez suspended, another reshuffle of West Ham’s midfield looms.
