Julen Lopetegui could be tempted to role the dice as he looks to build on a win last week over Manchester United.

West Ham claimed the vital win over the Red Devils, however it’s time now for the club to kick on as we travel north to face Nottingham Forest this afternoon.

It’s understood that Tomas Soucek is a doubt due to a virus and Alphonse Areola is likely to miss out on a place in the squad due to injury,

Both Mohammed Kudus and Niclas Fullkrug are out due to suspension and injury respectively.

Chris Wood, Elliot Anderson and Jota Silva are doubts for the hosts today, while Morgan Gibbs-White is expected to miss out due to injury.

James Ward-Prowse is ineligible as he’s facing his parent club.

Julen Lopetegui could be set to experiment with the side as we look to start building momentum this season, with Everton at home next week ahead of the next international break.
