West Ham v Nottingham Forest: Confirmed line-ups for key relegation scrap

West Ham manager Nuno Espirito Santo comes up against his former side Nottingham Forest with both clubs in danger of relegation from the Premier League.

The Hammers are in 18th place and the drop zone but could close the gap on Forest in 17th to just a point with victory at home on Tuesday evening.

Nun was in charge of Nottingham Forest in their 3-0 defeat to the Hammers earlier this season. There have been 13 occasions of a manager being in charge of both sides in meetings in a single Premier League campaign, with only Harry Redknapp losing both times (Portsmouth v Southampton in 2004-05).

The Hammers are looking to complete their first league double over Nottingham Forest since 2011-12 in the Championship, and first in the top-flight since 1968-69.
