Nottingham Forest welcome West Ham to the City Ground on Sunday, aiming to continue their excellent unbeaten start to the Premier League season.
However, the team’s strong on-field form continues to be played out against a backdrop of uncertainty surrounding the future of head coach Nuno Espírito Santo after a public rift with the club’s owner.

Despite the off-field noise, Nuno Espírito Santo is expected to name an unchanged starting eleven for the third consecutive game. The manager has a near fully-fit squad to choose from, with midfielder Nicolas Domínguez the only player sidelined through injury.
Dan Ndoye, who has a goal and an assist in his first two games, has the chance to make history. He could become the first player ever to register a goal involvement in his first three Premier League appearances for the club.
