Tottenham v Nottingham Forest – lineup, statistics, preview
Match previews of Tottenham v Nottingham Forest
Tottenham welcomes the familiar face this Easter Monday in a clash with Nottingham Forest under the guidance of former Spurs Bosnuno Espirito Santo.
The Ange Postecoglou side continues to bring Europe’s hopes to life in their quarterfinal victory in the Europa League, but Forest is fighting to bring Champions League football back to the city’s ground for the first time in decades.
After a 2-1 victory over Eintracht Frankfurt, 2-1, Spurs’ European adventure continues.
The Australian manager, optimist joked after the victory: “They’ll have to hold him a little longer” – QUIP, which sets the tone of a dog-defensive display in Germany following the important penalty of Dominic Solanke.
Tottenham is currently preparing for the semi-finals with Norwegian attire Bodeau/Grimt, but their domestic form remains miserable.
The 17 league defeats this season – their worst tally since 2003-2004 – The Spurs are sitting near the wrong end of the table.
Losses to teams such as the wolves, as well as poor outcomes for the top half of the opposition (8 losses in nine such games in the last nine) highlight the scale of the challenge. Only Leicester, Southampton and Ipswich have scored fewer points since their 4-0 win at Manchester City in November.
Still, the Spurs are able to cling to the shape of their recent home, with four unbeaten runs in all competitions at bases in North London.

Tottenham v Nottingham Forest team news
The Spurs’ victory in Frankfurt was at a price. James Madison, who scored a decisive penalty, was banished after a violent clash with goalkeeper Caua Santos.
The midfielder could still be featured on Monday, as Postecoglou later revealed he was not seriously injured. However, while Captain’s son Hong Min is set to remain outside due to persistent foot problems, Radu Dragusin continues to recover from the rift of the ACL.
Matthew’s phone went down as his son went missing. The Bayern Munich teen lender was able to make history as the first Spurs teenager in three consecutive Premier League matches, scoring on his last two league excursions.
Nuno Espirito Santo is hardly clear about his team’s choices, saying that Ola Aina (Calf) and Taiwan Awoniyi (thighs) are rated “daily”. The poor show against Everton is expected to see the forest boss stick to most of his starting XI, and Anthony Elanga could replace Jota Silva.
