Nuno Santo’s Nottingham Forest won four points in its first two matches in the league. Last weekend Forest faced Crystal Palace in the capital, managing to secure a point after a 1-1 draw. Palace opened the score in the first half but Callum Hudson-Odoi equalised after the break.

At the same time West Ham are struggling since the start of the campaign – the Hammers lost both of their matches against Sunderland and Chelsea. In these two matches Graham Potter’s boys conceded 8 goals – not a stat they can be proud of.

Nottingham Forest News & Analysis

There’s some bad blood at Nottingham Forest at the moment. The main reason for that are the rumours that Nuno Santo is currently in a bad relationship with the owner Evangelos Marinakis. This means that soon we could see some big changes at the club. And Nuno Santo is surely not working in the most positive atmosphere.

Despite all of this, Forest are unbeaten since the beginning of the season. Last weekend they paid a visit to Crystal Palace in the capital, getting a point after a 1-1 draw.

Forest’s summer signing James McAtee could get the chance to start against West Ham. The talented midfielder arrived from Manchester City, and he’s considered a huge prospect for the future. We will follow him closely this season.

West Ham United News & Analysis

Things are not going well for West Ham and the manager Graham Potter. The Londoners lost both of their matches this season which sent them at the bottom of the standings. For the Hammers it’d be crucial to recover as quick as possible.

What could Potter change against Forest, compared to the game against Wolves last weekend? What we expect is to see Niklas Füllkrug or Callum Wilson back in the line-up. West Ham surely needs some more firepower at the moment.

Lucas Paqueta is among West Ham’s players who could lead the team by example in the next game. The Brazilian star is one of the best players in the squad. His creativity and vision would be key for Graham Potter’s team.
