Rory Jennings predicts result of West Ham United v Nottingham Forest live on talkSport
Rory Jennings has predicted that West Ham United’s winless league run will be extended to five matches when they face Nottingham Forest on Sunday 12 November.
The Hammers welcome Steve Cooper’s side to the London Stadium having lost their last three matches in the Premier League and Jennings believes that their recent domestic struggles will continue, tipping the away side to win.
Forest come into the clash off of the back of an excellent 2-0 win over Aston Villa and the talkSport presenter believes that Cooper’s team will cause the Hammers’ “real” problems, despite their poor record away from home.
Speaking on talkSport (11 November, 20:36) he said: “It’s not going to be easy. The result that they got against Aston Villa was a real statement result, they are a brilliant team.
“Steve Cooper is a great manager and I think they are going to give West Ham a real problem in this fixture. It’s not going to be easy for West Ham, at the Olympic Stadium they’ll always believe that they are a force to be reckoned with.
“But I can actually see this one going to an away victory. Nottingham Forest haven’t always found it easy on the road but let’s remember they’ve already won at Stamford Bridge this season. So I believe that Nottingham Forest will be looking to build upon the huge result they got against Aston Villa fairly recently.”
Not going to be easy
There are very few games in the Premier League that can be considered “easy” and the Irons’ clash with Forest on Sunday will be no different as Cooper’s side have shown in recent weeks that they can beat anybody they face.
While Chelsea have been indifferent in the early stages of the campaign, Forest were incredibly impressive at Stamford Bridge, what West Ham must focus on is the fact that they themselves beat the Blues at the London Stadium earlier this season.
If this game was played a month or so ago, you would be almost certain that the Hammers would come out on top, but their recent form has been poor in the Premier League and this match almost feels unpredictable.
If Jennings’ prediction comes true and West Ham do taste defeat for the fourth consecutive Premier League outing, you have to wonder what that will mean for Moyes’ position as the pressure continues to mount on the Scotsman.
