Prediction: 1-2
Nottingham Forest
After shocking Manchester United at Old Trafford, West Ham United will look to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they take on Nottingham Forest on Matchday 37. The Hammers did well to put an end to their eight-game winless run, with the team regaining a much-needed confidence and they obviously want to finish the season in style. Midfielder Edson Alvarez is pushing for a start, while winger Crysencio Summerville continues to miss out with a hamstring problem.
The Reds, on the other hand, dropped two points in a 2-2 draw with Leicester City, with the team dropping to 7th place in the standings. Forest are only one point behind the Champions League berth and we are positive that they will go for a win in Saturday’s encounter. With West Ham having little to play for in the season finale, we are tempted to beat on Anthony Elanga and Co. Winger Callum Hudson-Odoi is rated doubtful for the visiting team.
