West Ham v Nottingham Forest: What’s the story?
The Hammers have already played one Evangelos Marinakis-owned club this week. West Ham defeated Olympiacos 1-0 at The London Stadium and they will have Forest in their sights today.
Steve Cooper’s team go into the game buoyed by last week’s game against Aston Villa. Goals from Ola Aina and Orel Mangala gave the Reds a 2-0 victory at the City Ground.
Forest now have an opportunity to continue climbing the Premier League table today. West Ham haven’t exactly been firing on all cylinders in the league and the Reds have a big chance.
The Reds have improved on their travels this season. However, more points are now needed to go alongside the performance levels which have largely been pretty good on the road.
Forest have made strides but they are still striving for a degree of consistency. Cooper will hope to see his side pick up where they left off last week and pick up more points today.
West Ham are going to be up for the clash today, however. They will be hoping to get back to winning ways in the Premier League after claiming a decent win over Olympiacos.
