Nottingham Forest have lost four in a row under Sean Dyche and are yet to pull away from the relegation battle. The club’s player of the month for December, Ibrahim Sangaré, is still at the Africa Cup of Nations with Côte d’Ivoire.

Dyche wasn’t drawn into the ‘six-pointer’ debate in his pre-match press conference:

It’s an easy line to use. I’ve been in it so many years and we are only just at the halfway point so there is a lot more football to be played either way. It’s very helpful to win this game, quite obviously so that’s the challenge, go and win away from home.



West Ham are without a win in nine games and Nuno is under major scrutiny. His man-management and tactics have led to unrest among the West Ham squad, as Jacob Steinberg reported at the weekend:

Multiple sources with knowledge of the situation have described Nuno as distant and uncommunicative on a day-to-day basis, while it is understood that there is frustration over confusing training methods and team selections. Morale is slipping and what is perceived as a lack of clear communication has left some players feeling that they have no way of forcing their way into the Portuguese’s plans.
