**Premier League Sunday Preview: West Ham Host Nottingham Forest, Arsenal Faces Newcastle**
**London – May 18, 2025** – All eyes are on the Premier League this Sunday as West Ham United face Nottingham Forest, while Arsenal prepare for a crucial clash against Newcastle.
BBC Radio 5 Live is providing extensive coverage of both matches, offering build-up and live commentary.
The spotlight is particularly intense on the West Ham vs. Nottingham Forest match. Historically, West Ham have dominated Forest at home, winning five of their last six encounters. However, Nottingham Forest is aiming for their first league double over West Ham since the 1983-84 season, having won their last two league games against the Hammers.
West Ham are currently enjoying a seven-game unbeaten run in their final home league game of the season, last losing in 2016-17. However, their recent home form has been patchy, with their last three games ending in draws. Forest, despite slipping to seventh place after a recent dip in form, boast an impressive away record, only second to champions Liverpool this season. A win today would mark only the fourth time they have reached double figures for away wins in a top-flight campaign.
Key players to watch include West Ham’s Jarrod Bowen, who has been in fine form at the London Stadium, scoring in his last three home games. For Nottingham Forest, striker Chris Wood has a strong goalscoring record against West Ham. Additionally, Anthony Elanga has been a creative force for Forest, providing 10 assists this season.
The lineups for both matches have been announced, and the players are currently warming up. Stay tuned to BBC Radio 5 Live for live updates and in-depth analysis throughout the day.
