Tottenham approaches the upcoming match in fifth place, but is only three points behind “Aston Villa,” having played two games less. A victory today would allow them to catch up with Birmingham’s team in the table. In recent rounds, the Spurs have not shown stability and have demonstrated unpredictable results. For example, they suffered a heavy defeat against “Fulham” with a score of 0-3, followed by a somewhat problematic victory over “Luton Town” (2-1). In the previous round, they drew with “West Ham” (1-1) in the London derby. At home, under the guidance of Ange Postecoglou, they have yet to draw this season 11 wins and four losses. In the last five rounds, “Tottenham” has only dropped points at home in the match against “Wolverhampton” (0-1). Currently, striker Manor Solomon, defender Ryan Sessegnon, and goalkeeper Fraser Forster are sidelined.
Despite being deducted four points, Nottingham Forest continues to fight for survival and is currently on a three-match unbeaten streak two draws and a victory. At the moment, the “Tricky Trees” are in 17th place, but only ahead of “Luton Town” on additional indicators. Both teams have 28 points. In the last round, Nuno Espirito Santo’s team secured an important home victory over “Fulham” (3-1). However, Nottingham Forest has not won away from home since December of last year when they defeated “Newcastle.” Defender Nuno Tavares and forward Tyrese Fornah will miss the upcoming match due to injuries.
