THE LOWDOWN
WEST HAM
- In what has been a season of struggle for the Hammers, they actually managed to put together a four-game unbeaten run in all competitions prior to their defeat to Tottenham last weekend, and David Moyes will be quietly confident of a result here.
- Kurt Zouma, Lucas Paqueta and Maxwel Cornet are all back in training and are at various stages of recovery, and it remains to be seen which of those make the matchday squad on Saturday.
NOTTINGHAM FOREST
- A late Chris Wood equaliser handed Nottingham Forest a superb point against reigning Premier League champions Man City last weekend and Steve Cooper will be urging his side to use that result as a springboard for further improvement.
- Defensive injuries continue to plague Forest with Serge Aurier the latest to be sidelined, with Neco Williams looking like a strong candidate to come into the side.

THE PREDICTION
Last weekend’s 1-1 draw with reigning Premier League champions Man City was undoubtedly one of Forest’s best results of the season but it’s fair to say they rode their luck in that contest. Away from the City Ground though, they have picked up three points just once this season and they are likely to be on the back foot once more against a West Ham side looking to bounce back from their loss to London rivals Spurs. Forest are missing several key defenders so we're backing the Hammers to earn at least a point, if not all three.
TIP: WEST HAM DRAW NO BET
