Nottingham Forest Predicted Lineup:
Nottingham Forest Team News:
An unchanged starting XI for Nuno Espirito Santo. This is his strongest starting lineup as of right now although new signings James McAtee, Anraud Kalimuendo and Omari Hutchinson may become factors as they get up to speed.
The aforementioned new signings are all attacking players, so the back-5 is very secure.
West Ham Predicted Lineup:
West Ham Team News:
Summerville remains sidelined but is close to a return and could become a factor if Fullkrug or Paqueta fail to make the required impact.
Not much other injury or team news to report for the Hammers.
Despite a 3-0 thrashing at the hands of newly promoted Sunderland, the back-5 likely remains unchanged.
The midfield is where there are the most lineup questions for Potter. Young midfielder Potts featured heavily in pre-season and impressed, and Ward-Prowse did not in Gameweek 1. The entire West Ham midfield was poor and there could be changes coming but Paqueta won’t be the player to make way for Potts. It would be Ward-Prowse most likely but until we see it or hear Potter speak, it’s safer to assume he will run back the same midfield for Chelsea.
