🔻 West Ham United vs Nottingham Forest Li.ve Match Today 2025 HD (0:0)

 Nottingham Forest make the trip to the capital today seeking a crucial win over West Ham to preserve their dwindling prospects of qualifying for the Champions League.

The visitors' hopes of finishing in the top five took a severe knock last weekend after they were held to a disappointing 2-2 stalemate with already relegated Leicester City. While that result ensured the Tricky Trees will be playing European football next season, boss Nuno Espírito Santo will be determined to go one better and secure a coveted UCL spot. 

West Ham, meanwhile, ended an eight-game winless run last weekend with an impressive 2-0 away victory over Manchester United. The Hammers will be aiming for another strong performance today in their final home fixture of the campaign — a match that also marks an emotional farewell for Aaron Cresswell, Vladimír Coufal, Łukasz Fabiański, and Danny Ings, with the veteran quartet all set to depart the club at the end of the season.

West Ham United take on Nottingham Forest on Sunday, May 18, at the London Stadium, with kickoff set for 2:15 p.m. BST local time. That makes it a 9:15 a.m. ET or 6:15 a.m. PT start in the US and Canada, and a 11:15 p.m. AEST kickoff in Australia.

Nottingham Forest make the trip to the capital on Sunday for a pivotal Premier League showdown with West Ham United, knowing anything short of victory could bring their dwindling Champions League dreams to a screeching halt.

While Forest have already locked in European football for next season, their hopes of a top-five finish — and a seat at Europe's top table — hang by a thread following a frustrating stretch of form. Nuno Espirito Santo's men have mustered just one win in their last seven Premier League outings, slipping to seventh in the standings and now trailing Aston Villa and Chelsea with only two games left to play. Tensions reached a boiling point after last weekend's fiery 2-2 stalemate with Leicester City, where club owner Evangelos Marinakis was spotted confronting Nuno on the pitch at full-time, a clear sign of the pressure mounting at the City Ground. Still, the door isn't fully shut. If Villa stumble against Manchester United, or Tottenham drop points, Forest could still take the race for fifth down to the wire, especially if they manage to beat West Ham on Sunday. That would set up a blockbuster final-day clash at home to Chelsea. But before dreaming of drama on the final day, Forest have to get the job done in east London. They'll take some heart from recent form in this fixture, having beaten the Hammers in their last two league meetings. As for the hosts, West Ham head into their final home fixture buoyed by an impressive win over Manchester United. While Graham Potter's side are destined for a bottom-half finish — 13th at best — they'll be eager to give their supporters something to cheer about before the curtain falls at the London Stadium.
