Jamie Carragher shares score prediction for West Ham United clash v Nottingham Forest

Jamie Carragher has predicted Nottingham Forest and West Ham to share the spoils at the City Ground on Saturday.

The Hammers travel to Nottingham to take on Nuno Espirito Santo's side on 2 October.

Julen Lopetegui would want to build on the win over Manchester United, but Carragher has told Sky Sports' Super 6 that a 1-1 draw is in the offing for this one.

West Ham must fancy their chances to get the three points against Nottingham Forest

The Hammers' recent victory over Manchester United serves as a significant psychological boost, particularly as they head into their match against Nottingham Forest.

Defeating a team like Manchester United, not only will have enhanced the team morale but also instiled a belief in their capabilities against high-calibre opponents.

This win could very well dismantle any lingering doubts within the squad about their competitive standing in the Premier League.

Heading into the game against Forest, this newly found confidence could translate into a proactive playing style, where West Ham might take more risks, play with greater freedom, and capitalise on their momentum.

Securing six points from these two games would not only validate Julen Lopetegui's credentials but also set a precedent for the club to string together a run of positive results, potentially turning their season around.

It remains to be seen if they're the same hungry and energised lot as they were a week ago at the London Stadium.
