There will be huge pressure on both Nottingham Forest and West Ham coming into this round of matches in the Premier League. The hosts will desperately need maximum points, as they sit just two points outside of the bottom three places.
This could be a huge weekend in the battle to avoid relegation in the Premier League, as Nottingham Forest look for a much needed victory when they welcome West Ham to the City Ground. Forest have suffered defeats in three of their last four matches, and that leaves them sitting just two points above the bottom three spots.
Forest could drop into the bottom three this weekend should results go against them, and an improved performance will be required following their defeat against Newcastle last Saturday. The East Midlands side twice came back from behind to go into the break locked at 2-2. However, they failed to create clear scoring opportunities to land a victory, and instead conceded the fifth goal in the match with just under half an hour remaining.
The pressure is also back on David Moyes coming into this round, as the Hammers have slipped to defeats in each of their last two matches. Meanwhile, despite sitting eighth, they have failed to win across their last five matches in the Premier League, playing out three draws over that period.
West Ham have conceded nine goals across their last two matches in the league, with six of those coming in a stunning 6-0 loss at home against Arsenal last Sunday. It was the worst performance of the Moyes-era at the London Stadium, and it was the joint-heaviest defeat that the Hammers have ever suffered in front of their home fans.
West Ham have won their last two matches against Forest, but both of their wins were recorded at the London Stadium. Interestingly, each of the last five clashes between these sides have been won by the side with home field advantage, which includes a 1-0 win for Forest in this exact fixture last term.
An improved performance will be required by both of these sides on Saturday. However, it could be worth siding with the Hammers getting their act together on the road, as Moyes would expect a response following their no-show against Arsenal last week.
