TEAMS PREVIEW

Nottingham Forest FC Preview

Nottingham Forest will go into this home clash at the City Ground sitting 17th in the Premier League table, reflecting a challenging start to the 2025/26 season. With a record of four wins, three draws, and eight losses, their overall form is considered poor.

A primary concern has been their attack, which has yielded only 14 goals in 15 league matches, an average of less than one goal per game. Defensively, they have conceded 25 goals this season, highlighting significant vulnerabilities at the back.

Their recent form has been particularly difficult. In their last five Premier League matches, Nottingham Forest has scored a total of five goals and conceded eight goals. This run includes a heavy 3-0 away loss to Everton, a 0-1 away win against Wolverhampton Wanderers, a 0-2 home loss to Brighton, a 3-0 away win at Liverpool, and a 3-1 home win over Leeds United.

Despite these struggles, the team will look to key creative player Morgan Gibbs-White for inspiration and hope to leverage their home advantage against Tottenham. 

Nottingham Forest Predicted Lineup: Matz Sels; Nicolò Savona, Nikola Milenković, Murillo, Neco Williams; Elliot Anderson, Nicolás Domínguez; Dan Ndoye, Morgan Gibbs-White, Callum Hudson-Odoi; Igor Jesus.

Tottenham Hotspur FC Preview

Tottenham Hotspur will arrive in Nottingham sitting 11th in the Premier League table with 22 points, a record of six wins, four draws, and five losses so far this 2025/26 season. Despite their mid-table position, they have been effective in attack, scoring 25 goals in 15 matches, averaging 1.67 goals per game. Their defence has conceded 18 goals, resulting in a goal difference of +7.

Their last five Premier League matches have seen them score nine goals and concede seven goals in total. This sequence of results includes a 4-1 home win against West Ham, a 2-2 away draw with Manchester United, a 4-0 home win over FC København (Champions League game, but included in the time frame), a 1-2 away loss to Fulham, a 2-2 home draw against Newcastle, and a 2-0 win against Brentford.

Richarlison is currently their top league goalscorer with six goals. With manager Thomas Frank at the helm, Spurs will look to improve their inconsistent form and secure a vital away win at the City Ground. 

Tottenham Hotspur Predicted Lineup: Guglielmo Vicario; Pedro Porro, Cristian Romero, Micky van de Ven, Djed Spence; Pape Matar Sarr, Rodrigo Bentancur; Wilson Odobert, Richarlison, Mathys Tel; Dominic Solanke.
