The action-packed festive football schedule continues on Friday as West Ham United host Brentford in the first Premier League game at the London Stadium for nearly seven weeks.
The World Cup may be done but there is a feast of Premier League action to carry supporters through the Christmas period and into January.
A home win will likely have been high up on Hammers fans’ Christmas lists as David Moyes’ side lost three on the bounce in East London ahead of the break.
The Bees will be confident they can spoil the party, though, after their last away game saw them upset Man City at the Etihad in November.
Ivan Toney’s FA charge has threatened to overshadow what has been a strong start to the season for Brentford but the best way to quieten the noise will be getting back to winning ways.
RadioTimes.com has rounded up everything you need to know about how to watch West Ham v Brentford on TV and online.

West Ham v Brentford prediction
While Brentford have been hugely impressive this season, you have to feel that the Toney situation is going to be a hard one for them to shake off.
The London Stadium has hardly been a fortress this season but the World Cup break may just have proved a useful circuit break for Moyes and his squad.
Expect them to fly out the blocks as they look to get the home support onside early doors.
Our prediction: West Ham 2-1 Brentford (17/2 at bet365)
