It's been less than a month since Nuno Espirito Santo took over from Graham Potter as West Ham United manager, but today he will be thrilled to finally achieve success.
The Hammers are preparing for a crucial capital derby against Brentford and are desperate to end a disgraceful four-game winless run (D1, L3).
Nuno managed to pick up a point in his first two matches for West Ham after facing Everton and early-season leaders Arsenal.
However, he will be happy to make his mark in his first home game as West Ham manager and the visit of Brentford could be the perfect chance to flip the script.
The Hammers are still hoping for their second Premier League win after beating Nottingham Forest 3-0 at the City Ground at the end of August.
How West Ham can line up
Despite coming into the international break late, Nuno is likely to make just one change to the side that lost 2-0 to Arsenal.
That means the visitors can expect a familiar back five on Monday, with Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Konstantinos Mavropanos, Max Kilman and El Hadji Malik Diouf ahead of Alphonse Areola.
Nuno will once again be able to count on Tomas Soucek after the Czech midfielder served a three-match ban for receiving a straight red card against Tottenham Hotspur.
However, he has been sidelined for over a month and could start on the bench, giving Nuno the chance to remain with his midfield pairing of Mateus Fernandes and Sungutu Magassa.
The Hammers lack flair and dynamism in midfield, but Fernandes and Magassa are capable of running the show.
Lucas Paqueta has been outstanding for West Ham and should retain his number 10 spot, while captain Jarrod Bowen and Crisencio Summerville line up on the flanks.
The only change to the starting line-up will be at the top of the pitch, with Callum Wilson set to replace him. injured Niklas Fullkrug.
Predicted West Ham starting XI
(4-2-3-1): Areola; Wan-Bissaka, Mavropanos, Kilman, Diouf; Fernandez, Magassa; Bowen, Paqueta, Summerville; Wilson.
