Homeowners keep up the good work

Nottingham Forest will be looking to make it three wins in a row in the Premier League when they host West Ham United at the City Ground on Saturday afternoon.

This is the first time the two teams have met since February, when Tricky Trees won 2-0 at home to the Hammers thanks to goals from Taiwo Awoniyi and Callum Hudson-Odoi.

Latest Nottingham Forest vs West Ham team information

Nottingham Forest will be without injured players Danilo (ankle) and Ibrahim Sangare (hamstring), while on-loan midfielder from West Ham James Ward-Prowse is ineligible to play for his parent club.

Manager Nuno revealed that Chris Wood (foot), Morgan Gibbs-White (ankle), Elliot Anderson and Jota Silva (both minor injuries) are all doubtful and will be assessed before kick-off.

If Wood is not fit enough to start, Taiwo Awoniyi could replace him at centre-forward, while the rest of Nuno's starting line-up could remain unchanged if players are fit.

For West Ham, Niclas Fullkrug is still recovering from a serious Achilles injury suffered in early September, while Mohammed Kudus will sit out the second match of a three-match ban.

Lukasz Fabianski was given the chance to start in place of first-choice goalkeeper Alphonse Areola against Man United, and the 39-year-old is likely to keep his place in goal this weekend. Jean-Clair Todibo could also compete for a starting spot in central defence alongside Konstantinos Mavropanos alongside Max Kilman.

Tomas Soucek will be pushing to regain his starting place in midfield, potentially replacing one of Edson Alvarez, Guido Rodriguez or Carlos Soler, while Crysencio Summerville will be hoping to start alongside strikers Bowen and Michail Antonio after scoring his first goal for West Ham last weekend.

Latest predicted lineup Nottingham Forest vs West Ham

West Ham United:

Latest football commentary Nottingham Forest vs West Ham

Exactly one year ago, Nottingham Forest were struggling in 15th place in the Premier League table with 10 points. However, after 12 months, they have gained 5 points and moved up 8 places, thanks to an impressive start to the 2024-25 season (W4, D4, L1).

Since coach Nuno Espirito Santo took charge of Forest in December 2023, only Erling Haaland (18) has scored more Premier League goals than striker Chris Wood (17), who scored twice in a 3-1 win over former club Leicester City a week ago.

Forest have picked up 11 points from 15 away from home this season - only Liverpool have a better away record - and they are currently seventh in the table, just two points behind Arsenal in third.

Not only have they shown impressive attacking ability, Forest's defence under Nuno has also been solid this season, conceding just seven goals - the second fewest in the league; the last time they had a better defensive record was in 1978-79.

Forest are now bidding for a third successive Premier League win for the first time since May 1999 and will be confident having won both of their home games against West Ham since returning to the top flight in 2022.

For Julen Lopetegui's West Ham, consistency is the biggest issue as they have won just three, drawn two and lost four of their nine Premier League games this season.

However, between the heavy 1-4 defeat to Tottenham, West Ham picked up two home wins against Ipswich Town (4-1) and Manchester United (2-1), with Jarrod Bowen scoring a controversial 92nd-minute penalty in the latter's game.

West Ham, currently 13th in the table, are looking for back-to-back wins for the first time since March and are just three points off the top eight.

They go into Saturday's match aiming to improve their away form having won just three of their 13 away games since the start of 2024, and conceded two or more goals in eight.

West Ham have won two of their last three meetings with Nottingham Forest, all at the London Stadium, while their last win at the City Ground was in August 2011 when they were in the Championship under Sam Allardyce. Nottingham Forest's hopes may depend on the availability of key striker Wood and star midfielder Gibbs-White. If they are ready, Forest could be strong enough to take all the points against an inconsistent West Ham side.
