The big time has finally come knocking once again for Nottingham Forest, former kings of Europe, and they have done it the old-fashioned way. Steve Cooper might not be the hottest managerial ticket in town, but he has crafted a side who graft harder than virtually all of their Premier League brethren - and that could stand them very well.
A double swoop off Manchester United - who might be regretting letting the pair go - in the shape of Jesse Lingard and Dean Henderson has brought some big-match experience to bear, and they will more than fancy their chances in this homecoming match of coming out on top.
Predicted Forest starting XI: Henderson; Worrall, Niakhate, McKenna; Williams, O'Brien, Mangala, Toffolo; Lingard; Awoniyi, Johnson.
Position | West Ham roster |
---|---|
Goalkeepers | Fabiański, Areola, Trott, Randolph |
Defenders | Johnson, Cresswell, Zouma, Coufal, Dawson, Ogbonna, Aguerd |
Midfielders | Fornals, Lanzini, Downes, Souček, Coventry, Rice |
Forwards | Scamacca, Antonio, Cornet, Bowen, Benrahma |
An opening defeat to Manchester City - thanks to an Erling Haaland double - will have frustrated David Moyes, but the former Everton boss will know there is no shame in losing to the Premier League champions straight out of the gate.
A distant alarm bell may ring however if they do not get the better of Forest and old star Lingard, who electrified on a loan move that helped drive them back into Europe in the first place - and the Hammers are still potentially lacking the nous of retired captain Mark Noble.
Predicted West Ham starting XI: Fabianski; Coufal, Johnson, Zouma, Cresswell; Rice, Soucek; Bowen, Lanzini, Fornals; Antonio.
