"Starting with the hosts, while Nuno Espírito Santo might have only arrived at the London Stadium a couple of months ago, the former Nottingham Forest boss already finds his position hanging by a thread. Rightfully coming under a huge amount of scrutiny over the weekend as they were blown away thanks to a 3-0 drumming away at a Wolves squad who sit rock-bottom of the table, the pressure on Santo's shoulders has now reached a boiling point."
"West Ham Team News Missing away at Wolves on Saturday afternoon with a reported back issue, West Ham are once again sweating over the fitness of Brazilian international Lucas Paqueta. Likewise, both featuring at this month's AFCON, the Hammers will be without the defensive duo of El Hadji Malick Diouf and ex-Manchester United star Aaron Wan-Bissaka. Completing a permanent switch from Portuguese outfit Gil Vicente last week, Pablo Felipe should make his Premier League debut here."
"As for the visitors, while Nottingham Forest might have enjoyed an immediate boost following Sean Dyche's arrival at the City Ground back in October, the Reds have come crashing back down to earth over the past few weeks. Completely outplayed away at Aston Villa over the weekend as they fell to a routine 3-1 loss, Tuesday's guests are once again looking over their shoulder at a the drop zone."
West Ham host Nottingham Forest in a key relegation six-pointer at the London Stadium. Nuno Espírito Santo faces intense pressure after a 3-0 defeat to Wolves and no wins in nine Premier League matches. West Ham have defensive problems and have broken unwanted records this season. Injuries and AFCON absences threaten selection, with Lucas Paqueta doubtful and El Hadji Malick Diouf and Aaron Wan-Bissaka unavailable; Pablo Felipe may debut and Ezra Mayers could start. Nottingham Forest improved briefly under Sean Dyche but suffered a 3-1 loss at Aston Villa and now also face relegation concerns.
