West Ham 0-1 Brentford
West Ham have lost their last four games when facing an opponent in the top flight for the first time, going down against Bournemouth in 2015-16, Hull in 2008-09, Reading in 2006-07 and Wigan in 2005-06.
At the moment, those struggles against a newly promoted side are continuing, but plenty of football to be played yet.
