West Ham are yet to secure a win in all competitions this calendar year as they travel to City Ground to take on Nottingham Forest in a Premier League encounter on Saturday.
Things have taken a turn for the worse for David Moyes' men since they registered back-to-back league wins over Manchester United and Arsenal in December 2023. The Hammer are now winless in seven competitive games, including an FA Cup exit and Sunday's 6-0 thrashing at the hands of Arsenal.
Meanwhile, Nuno Espirito Santo's Tricky Trees also look to return to winning ways following a 3-2 league loss against Newcastle United last weekend.
Here GOAL brings you everything you need to know about how to watch, including TV channel, streaming details and more.

West Ham team news
Saturday's game would be too soon for long-term injury absentees Lucas Paqueta and Michail Antonio to return from their calf and knee injuries, respectively.
Meanwhile, in the aftermath of the Arsenal drubbing, Moyes may be inclined to alter his backline by possibly bringing in Konstantinos Mavropanos alongside captain Kurt Zouma at the heart.
Aaron Cresswell could be given the nod over Emerson Palmieri at left-back, while Kalvin Phillips can be back in the XI alongside either Tomas Soucek or Edson Alvarez.
In attack, Jarrod Bowen should continue at the tip with Maxwel Cornet likely to start ahead of Ben Johnson on the left side.
