West Ham have yet another 3 pm kickoff tomorrow as Julen Lopetegui takes his Hammers team to face high-flying Nottingham Forest. It’s our first Premier League trip outside of London, though there was a Carabao Cup game away to Liverpool that’s best forgotten.
Lopetegui has some big calls to make and surely won’t consider leaving Crysencio Summerville on the bench again in favour of Carlos Soler. However, his pre-match comments—”there is a big focus on who is going to be in the starting line-up, but one important thing is that you can change things to suit each match”—leave me wondering if the former Leeds winger will find himself back on the bench.
All of the above and more is discussed in the Nottingham Forest v West Ham United preview, which I sat down and recorded with Geo, my partner in crime over at Hammers Chat.
In the video, we chew over Forest’s form, Nuno Espírito Santo’s influence, and the partnership of Nikola Milenković and Murillo, as well as West Ham team news, our ideal starting XI, and whether we’re confident of a result at The City Ground.
