Nottingham Forest, Recent FormThe 3-2 home defeat to Newcastle United will not have sat easily with the Nottingham Forest squad, who would not have been pleased to squander all three points. Their share of possession in that meeting was 38%, while racking up 13 shots along the way, 3 of which were on target, in contrast to Newcastle United, who had 7 shots on goal with 5 on target.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 11 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 11 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 13 games.
They've had a dismal run of form at The City Ground recently, losing all but 1 of their last 6 home games, their solitary win providing little consolation.
Chris Wood will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 5 goals in the last 6 league games for Nottingham Forest.
West Ham United, Recent FormWest Ham United manager David Moyes will need to rebuild confidence in his squad after their heavy 6-0 home defeat by Arsenal. They achieved 29% possession in that match and had 5 strikes at goal, with 1 hitting the target, up against Arsenal's tally of 25 efforts at goal, 12 of which were on target.
Moyes will be shining a spotlight on his team's poor defensive record of late, having conceded 12 goals in their last 6 games, despite picking up a modest amount of points due in no small part to the 5 goals they managed at the other end. They have scored in 4 of their last 6 away games, but so far this season they have conceded at least one goal in 11 of their 12 games on the road.
They've had a less than ideal run of form recently, winning just 1 of their last 6 games.
Goalscorer Mohammed Kudus will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 3 goals in his last 6 league matches for West Ham United.
In the last league encounter between these sides, it was Nottingham Forest who ended up empty-handed, losing 3-2 to West Ham United.
Playing at home, Forest have scored in 3 of their last 3 league games against West Ham. West Ham have an impressive record of scoring goals against The Reds, with a tally of 13 goals against them in their previous 5 encounters.
Forest has lost the last 2 times they've faced West Ham in the league.
Forest manager Nuno Espírito Santo has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Gonzalo Montiel (Hamstring), George Shelvey (Unknown) and Chris Wood (Hamstring) are all currently out of contention for this game.
With only Michail Antonio (Knee) and Lucas Paquetá (Calf) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, David Moyes will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
