West Ham United vs Nottingham Forest

Meanwhile, Forest has enjoyed a resurgent start to the year and have only lost once with their form seeing them rise to 13th place. Early-season faith in Steve Cooper seems to have paid off and despite defeat to Fulham a fortnight ago, Cooper's side earned a hard-fought 1-1 draw against reigning champions Manchester City last weekend.

West Ham United vs Nottingham Forest

West Ham come into this fixture in desperate need of a result. David Moyes' side have won just once in six league games this year and sit in 18th place - one point off safety. Two good draws against Newcastle and Chelsea were followed by a disappointing 2-0 derby defeat to Tottenham and a result here today is a must or the pressure will intensify further on the West Ham boss.
