Mark Lawrenson makes 'nervy' Nottingham Forest prediction ahead of West Ham clash

Pundit Mark Lawrenson has tipped Nottingham Forest to lose a "narrow, nervy" game to West Ham United this weekend.

Steve Cooper's Reds travel to the London Stadium tomorrow (Saturday) in Premier League action as they look to build on their surprise point earned against Manchester City last time out.

Lawrenson has written in his weekly predictions column for Paddy Power that Forest could have "been beaten about eight" by Man City, but praised their resolve as they avoided defeat.

"David Moyes is under pressure," Lawrenson wrote of the upcoming game against the Hammers. "I spoke to him the other day and he’s still got the confidence of the board.

"They’ve sacked him before and if they sack him again who are they going to go for? They’ll be looking for another David Moyes!

"Nottingham Forest obviously got a tremendous points against Manchester City when they could have been beaten about eight. They don’t know when they’re beaten but I’ll go for a narrow, nervy win for West Ham because they really, really need it. West Ham 1-0 Nottingham Forest."
