The Premier League is back this weekend with a full slate of fixtures as we continue through the month of February. There’s still a lot left to figure out this season at both ends of the table and, as always, English football’s top tier continues to throw up surprises in every direction. Today, we’l
l be taking a look at what should be a fun encounter between Nottingham Forest and West Ham United.
Nottingham Forest Form Guide
There’s a lot of uncertainty surrounding Nottingham Forest right now. While there’s excitement stemming from Nuno Espirito Santo’s start as manager, they also have a possible points deduction hanging over their head. The priority is going to be staying in the Premier League, and they certainly have the quality necessary to end up in 17th or higher this season.
Forest ultimately came away from their game against Newcastle with a 3-2 defeat, but despite that, they showed the kind of heart necessary to really make a strong push for survival this season - and that’s what their fans will be most happy about.
West Ham Form Guide
West Ham United haven’t known days as good as this in a long time. They are the current holders of the Conference League title, they’re going well in the Europa League, and they are as solid as ever in the Premier League. David Moyes has figured out a formula that works, which should serve as a real warning for the rest of the clubs in the top flight this season.
West Ham, to put it bluntly, didn’t show up in their home clash with Arsenal. They were torn apart limb by limb and, in the end, walked away with a 6-0 defeat that will leave them with far more questions than answers heading into the rest of the month.
Match Prediction
West Ham are a strong side but they’ve taken a bit of a knock in terms of their confidence recently. Forest, meanwhile, have possible financial sanctions hanging over their head, with our prediction here being an entertaining and chaotic draw.
