Hammers looking to follow up big win over Manchester United
West Ham head to Nottingham Forest in the Premier League this weekend off the back of a big win.
The Hammers lifted some of the pressure off manager Julen Lopetegui in Sunday’s dramatic 2-1 win over Manchester United, which of course led to the sacking of Erik ten Hag.
Still, a trip to the City Ground is arguably even more difficult.
Forest have impressed this season, losing only once thus far, and are playing with supreme confidence right now.
Nottingham Forest vs West Ham is scheduled for a 3pm GMT kick-off time on Saturday 2 November 2024.
The City Ground in Nottingham will host.
TV channel and live stream: The game will not be broadcast in the UK as it takes place during the 3pm blackout imposed across English football.
Free highlights: Highlights, however, will be broadcast on Match of the Day at 10.20pm GMT on Saturday on BBC One.
Forest will be without Danilo and Ibrahim Sangare, while Morgan Gibbs-White will need to be assessed. James Ward-Prowse cannot play against his parent club due to the terms of his loan deal.
West Ham are without the suspended Mohammed Kudus, while Niclas Fullkrug continues to try and shake off an Achilles injury.

The Hammers certainly improved in the second-half on Sunday but their first-half performance will have been a concern. Forest are in fine form and will fancy their chances at home.
