West Ham United vs Nottingham Forest LIVE: Premier League preview, team news, stats & head-to-head
West Ham are looking to complete their first league double over Nottingham Forest since 2011-12 in the Championship, and first in the top-flight since 1968-69.
Nottingham Forest won this exact fixture 2-1 last season, last winning consecutive away league games against West Ham between 1982 and 1984 (3 in a row).
Since their return to the Premier League in 2022, nine of the 11 goals Nottingham Forest have conceded against West Ham have come in the final 20 minutes of games, with each of the last five coming in the final 10 minutes.
West Ham lost 11 home league games in 2025, their joint-most ever in a calendar year. However, they’ve not lost their first home league game in a year since 2017 (vs Man Utd), winning six and drawing two since.
West Ham are winless in their last eight evening kick-offs (7pm or later) in the Premier League (D3 L5) since a 2-0 win over Leicester last February. They last had a longer run without a win in late games between February 2019 and June 2020 (11).
Nottingham Forest have alternated between winning (3) and not winning (D1 L2) in their last six Premier League games on a Tuesday, losing 2-0 at home to Everton last week.
West Ham are winless in their last nine Premier League games (D4 L5), giving Wolves their first league win of the season last time out. The Hammers last had a longer run without a win in the competition between December 2006 and March 2007 (11 games).
West Ham failed to register a single shot on target in their 3-0 loss at Wolves at the weekend. It’s the third time they’ve done so in the Premier League this season (also v Arsenal and Liverpool), with no side failing in more different games (Burnley also 3).
Nottingham Forest have lost their last four Premier League games. They last lost five in a row between August/October 2022, while manager Sean Dyche has never lost five consecutively in the same campaign before.
West Ham boss Nuno Espírito Santo was in charge of Nottingham Forest in their 3-0 defeat to the Hammers earlier this season. There have been 13 occasions of a manager being in charge of both sides in meetings in a single Premier League campaign, with only Harry Redknapp losing both times (Portsmouth v Southampton in 2004-05)
