West Ham United v Nottingham Forest: Premier League – live

Now then, Nottingham Forest have an opportunity to set up a potential doozy of a final day Champions League qualification decider against Chelsea – providing they can see off West Ham at the London Stadium today.

Newcastle will have their say in the top five race when they face Arsenal later on, but for now Forest know that a win would propel them to 65 points – level with Manchester City (who play Bournemouth in midweek) and one point off fifth-placed Chelsea, the very team Forest face next weekend. Oooft. Any dropped points from Nuno Espírito Santo’s men, however, would realistically end their hopes of playing Champions League football next season – not that Europa League or Conference League qualification ought to be looked upon as a failure.

Still, having been riding as high as third for a long time this season, Forest fans will not want to see their side squander another chance to pick up vital points this afternoon, especially against a poor West Ham side whose only win in their past nine matches was at … an even worse Manchester United. The Hammers have little in the way of motivation, while you’d assume Forest will be bang up for it.

Kick off is at 2.15pm (BST) and team news will drop into the next post.
