IT has been 23 long years, but Nottingham Forest finally have Premier League football back at the City Ground as they take on West Ham.
Forest lost their opening game of the season to Newcastle at St James’ Park last weekend as Jesse Lingard made his debut.
Nottingham Forest return to the City Ground for the first time in the Premier League since 1999-99 when they were relegated
Declan Rice and West Ham were brushed aside by ruthless champions Manchester City at the London Stadium last weekend
The Hammers also lost, but to champions Man City as Erling Haaland ran riot at the London Stadium.

But with Premier League experience behind them, West Ham’s confidence will be hard to match.
