"West Ham's revival under Nuno Espirito Santo - who was sacked by Forest in September - has increased the pressure, with Forest's lead over the bottom three slowly eroding. The third-bottom Hammers' 1-1 draw with Manchester United on Tuesday edged them to within two points of 17th-placed Forest. The irony would not be lost if Nuno relegated Forest following the falling out with global sporting director Edu and owner Evangelos Marinakis which led to his departure."
"A season which promised so much - after a shock return to Europe for the first time in 30 years - has turned into one where relegation is a realistic possibility. It had felt relatively calm at the City Ground until recently, but after the chaos at the start of the season, Nuno's exit and Ange Postecoglou's 39-day reign, anything would have been serene."
Nottingham Forest are assessing managerial options as Sean Dyche's future is uncertain despite a strong start. Dyche won seven of his first 12 games, including 3-0 victories at Liverpool and over Tottenham, but has managed only two wins in the last nine league matches. West Ham's revival under Nuno Espirito Santo, who was sacked by Forest in September, has intensified pressure as the Hammers close to within two points. The club's lead above the bottom three has been steadily reduced, making relegation a realistic possibility despite the earlier European return. A win over Wolves would open a five-point cushion and strengthen Dyche's position.
