Team News

Nottingham Forest
Tottenham
  • Steve Cooper switched to a three-man defence at Wolves last weekend in the hopes of securing a result, and could look to go with a similar set-up here.
  • Tottenham remain without as many as eight players through injury, including the likes of James Maddison, Micky van de Ven and Rodrigo Bentancur.
  • Ange Postecoglou could look to go with the same XI that put four past Newcastle last weekend, with Richarlison leading the line in a central role.
  • Giovani Lo Celso will also miss the trip to the City Ground due to injury.

Prediction

  • Nottingham Forest boss Steve Cooper looked to be on the brink of losing his job after a 5-0 defeat at Fulham last week, but a battling 1-1 draw at Wolves has seen him hold on for now.
  • The hosts, however, remain without a victory in five Premier League matches, and have slipped down the table into 16th place - just one point ahead of Everton.
  • Tottenham ended a run of five matches without a win, including four defeats, when they cruised past Newcastle last weekend.
  • Richarlison, restored to the starting XI after returning from injury, found the net twice, while captain Son Heung-Min starred in a left-sided role.
  • Spurs have come out the other side of a troubling run of form just three points behind fourth-placed Manchester City and only seven points off league leaders Liverpool.
  • The visitors should have too much quality for a struggling Forest side here.

  • How possible no one predicted the correct score? Wooow

  • Wow no one predicted the correct score, I wonder ��

  • FOREST Turner, Mangala, Boly, Murillo,Williams, Kouyate, Gibbs-White, Toffolo, Niakhate, Elanga, Yates.

  • SPURS Vicario, Porro, Davies, Romero, Udogie, Johnson, Bissouma, Sarr, Kulusevski, Son, Richarlison.

  • Tottenham are 9-1-1 in games where Romero starts and plays the full 90. Tottenham are 7-1-0 in games where Richarlison starts. Nottingham are 0-3-5 when Awoniyi doesn't start.

  • Tottenham still have several key players injured and don't have a great record on Friday evenings. However, Taiwo Awoniyi is a big miss up front for Forest. Tottenham should dominate possession with Deki and Bissouma retaining possession with Sarr, Richarlison, and Romero winning it back if lost. Tottenham to score from a cut back (Richarlison) and mid-range shot (Son or maybe even Davies) and Forest to score from a set piece or through ball (Gibbs-White or Aurier). Forest 1-2 Tottenham

  • According to BBC Morgan Gibbs-White is set to make his 100th Premier League appearance so it would be typical football for him to score.

  • Tottenham have a few players injured, not sure on this one. I think Forest could win.

  • Tottenham is playing against a low block. Could end in 2-1 or 1-1

  • Last season at home Forest beat Arsenal, Brighton, and Liverpool, and drew with City, and this season they've beaten Villa. Therefore, Tottenham can't afford to take them lightly.

  • Over 2.5 goals.

  • If tottenham are as clinical in front of goal as last Sunday, they should win.

  • 2-2
