West Ham United, Recent FormWest Ham United will not be too troubled by their 2-0 away defeat against Tottenham Hotspur, given the latter currently sit 14 places further up the league table than they do. During that encounter they had 43% possession and had 6 attempts on goal with 1 on target, while their opponents hit 6 of their 16 shots on goal.
They have circumvented their opponent's defence to score 6 times in their last 6 league games but unfortunately haven't managed to lock things down at their end, conceding 7 goals in these games and, in the process, missing out on some valuable points. Having failed to record a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 matches, they definitely have some defensive problems to resolve at the moment.
They've had a less than ideal run of form recently, winning just 1 of their last 6 games.
Nottingham Forest, Recent FormNottingham Forest will be reasonably happy to come away from their match against Manchester City with a 1-1 draw and a valuable point. They came away from that fixture with a 27% share of the possession and clocked up 4 attempts on goal with 1 on target, in comparison to Manchester City, who managed 23 attempts on goal, 6 of which were on target.
While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 6 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 4, and leading to valuable points being dropped. Having found the net in 5 of their last 6 matches, they will be pleased that their forward line have found some good and consistent form of late.
They've shown some decent form of late, being unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 matches, with 3 of the 5 being victories for good measure. So far this season, the bulk of their league games on the road have ended in disappointment, having won just 1 of their first 11 away games.
Brennan Johnson will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 3 goals in the last 6 league games for Nottingham Forest.
In the last league encounter between these sides, it was West Ham United who ended up empty-handed, losing 1-0 to Nottingham Forest.
The Reds will be looking to extend their current run of scoring against West Ham having scored at least 1 goal in each of their previous 5 meetings.
In the league, West Ham has a good track record when they host Forest, getting the better of them in their last 2 home games.
West Ham manager David Moyes has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Nayef Aguerd (Hamstring), Alphonse Aréola (Hamstring), Maxwel Cornet (Calf), Aaron Cresswell (Virus), Lucas Paquetá (Shoulder), Gianluca Scamacca (Knee) and Kurt Zouma (Muscle) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Steve Cooper has a number of injury concerns in his Forest squad to contend with: Taiwo Awoniyi (Groin), Giulian Biancone (Cruciate ligament), Willy Boly (Hamstring), Dean Henderson (Muscle), Cheikhou Kouyaté (Hamstring), Scott McKenna (Hamstring), Moussa Niakhaté (Hamstring), Omar Richards (Leg) and Ryan Yates (Fever)
