Regular opponents ever since their Second Division days in the early 20th century, West Ham United and Nottingham Forest have crossed paths on 122 occasions across all tournaments since their inaugural affair, a 1911 FA Cup clash.
The Hammers came up trumps 2-1 in that showdown, contributing to the London side boasting just one more victory than their Nottinghamshire counterparts, whom they have conquered on 48 occasions while losing 48 times to the Garibaldi.
However, both Premier League meetings in 2024 went the way of Forest, who followed up a 2-0 home victory in February of that year with a 3-0 triumph in November at the City Ground.
The Reds then recorded a 2-1 victory at the London Stadium in the Premier League in May 2025.
Home is most certainly where the heart is for both sides in this fixture, as West Ham coincidentally prevailed in both of their showdowns in 2023 at the London Stadium, after losing 1-0 to the Garibaldi at the City Ground in August 2022.
In fact, before their clash in May 2025, which Forest won 2-1, the last away victory for either side in this fixture came during the 2011-12 Championship season, as West Ham demolished Forest 4-1 on the road, when Carlton Cole, Kevin Nolan and Winston Reid all helped themselves to goals.
Cup meetings have also been commonplace between the two clubs down the years, the most noteworthy of which was a 4-0 FA Cup semi-final win for Forest in the 1990-91 season, before the Garibaldi were beaten by Tottenham Hotspur in the final.
Current Forest hotshot Chris Wood is particularly fond of a goal against West Ham in the Premier League, netting eight versus the Irons in the competition, his best record against a single team.
