West Ham were dominated by Manchester City in their first fixture of the new campaign. They saw little of the ball as Erling Haaland scored his first two Premier League goals. After the game, boss David Moyes conceded he and his players had been “completely outdone”. They need to bounce back quickly and visiting a newly promoted team offers a good opportunity to do so.
Nottingham Forest’s long-awaited return to the top-tier of English football did not go quite as planned; they lost 2-0 to a strong Newcastle team. However, it will be hard to dampen the excitement of their fans as they begin their home campaign.
Gianluca Scamacca made his debut for the Hammers last weekend and will be looking to get more minutes, and even get on the scoresheet, during the visit to the City Ground. West Ham goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski had to be substituted in the first half against Man City and remains an injury doubt, as does defender Craig Dawson. Angelo Ogbonna is also out.
Nottingham Forest summer signing Jesse Lingard will be up against the club where he enjoyed a very successful loan period in 2021. However, another new recruit will be missing: Omar Richards suffered a fractured leg in pre-season.
Can the home fans help Steve Cooper’s men earn their first points of the season, or will the east Londoners return to the capital with a win? Find out by watching a Nottm Forest vs West Ham live stream.
