Tottenham Hotspur will face Nottingham Forest on Sunday at 2:15pm. Both teams are in a tight spot in the Premier League table, separated by just one point. Spurs are coming off a 3-2 win against Atlético Madrid in the Champions League, which should boost their confidence after a draw with Liverpool in their last league match. This marks a turnaround after a series of defeats as they aim for survival.
Nottingham Forest also had a busy week in Europe, securing a spot in the quarter-finals of the Europa League after defeating FC Midtjylland in a penalty shootout. Their recent Premier League form is showing improvement under manager Vitor Pereira, with no losses in their last two matches, including a 2–2 draw against Manchester City. However, they seek their first league win since January 25, and a positive result in London is crucial for their survival hopes.
