Alan Pardew expects an emotional afternoon when West Ham meet Nottingham Forest at the City Ground on Sunday.
Forest will stage the club's official tribute to their former European Cup-winning manager Brian Clough, who died on Monday, with a parade of trophies and former players before the game.
"I went to their Carling Cup tie with Rotherham on Wednesday and that turned out to be a spontaneous show of emotion for Brian," said manager Pardew. "Their team are bound to get a lift from a big crowd."
New Hammers signings Carl Fletcher, Calum Davenport and Chris Powell, who all missed the Carling Cup win against Notts County, are included in the squad.
