Latest West Ham vs Nottingham team information

With no new injuries following the win over Man United, West Ham are likely to stick with the same line-up that won at Old Trafford. Only Michail Antonio (leg) and Crysencio Summerville (thigh) remain absent.

Captain Bowen – who has scored in each of his last three home games – was the man who sealed the win for West Ham last weekend. The last player to do so was Jesse Lingard in 2021. Bowen is almost certain to start, while Lucas Paqueta could return to midfield in place of Guido Rodriguez.

As for Nottingham Forest, Awoniyi is recovering from a serious abdominal injury, but will definitely not play for the rest of the season. There is currently no specific time frame for his return.

In a press conference dominated by questions about Awoniyi and Champions League hopes, coach Santo did not provide further information about Murillo or Callum Hudson-Odoi (both with thigh injuries), but Murillo's ability to play is highly appreciated.

Striker Chris Wood – one of eight nominees for the Premier League Player of the Year – has scored 20 goals this season. He has scored eight Premier League goals against West Ham, his most against a single team.

Latest football commentary West Ham vs Nottingham

West Ham were the latest team to take advantage of Manchester United's domestic slump, ending an eight-game winless streak with a victory at the Theatre of Dreams last weekend, where they left the Red Devils with a bitter defeat by an old foe.

Former Manchester United right-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka played a decisive role in both West Ham goals, setting up Tomas Soucek for the opener and then setting up Jarrod Bowen for the winner, giving his side their 10th Premier League win of the season.

Graham Potter's side had previously maintained a pattern of lose-draw-lose-draw for more than two months, until they took advantage of Man United's European fatigue. Now, West Ham have surpassed Man United and Tottenham to escape the bottom group.

13th place is still within reach for West Ham, although that doesn't mean much in the grand scheme of things. The 2022-23 Europa Conference League champions are probably just looking to wrap up a turbulent and draining season.

However, they are still aiming to make it two Premier League wins in a row – something they have only done once this season, beating Arsenal and Leicester City in February. The last time West Ham lost their final home game of the season was in 2016-17.

There was no European night for the hosts on Sunday, but Nuno Espirito Santo’s Nottingham Forest will be in Europe next season. However, the draw with Leicester – a result that secured their place in the top seven – was not a cause for celebration.

The Red Devils’ slim Champions League hopes were dashed in a 2-2 draw with relegated Leicester, a match that was overshadowed by the incident where club president Evangelos Marinakis stormed onto the pitch and got into a heated argument with the head coach.

Later, Marinakis was heard questioning why striker Taiwo Awoniyi – after a violent collision with the post – continued playing. The incident left the player with a severe ruptured small intestine and he fell into a coma, but fortunately he regained consciousness.

The medical news is good, but the team's form is not encouraging. Forest are winless in their last four games, have just one win in their last seven in all competitions, and are now falling behind in the race for the top five.

However, recent head-to-head history is on Forest's side as they beat West Ham 5-0 on aggregate in their last two Premier League meetings, and could complete the double over their opponents for the first time in 41 years.
