Tottenham Hotspur faces a crucial match against Nottingham Forest this Sunday, with a tough five-game stretch looming ahead. The Spurs, currently in 4th place with 57 points, are set to take on Newcastle, Manchester City, Arsenal, Chelsea, and Liverpool in succession. With Aston Villa hot on their heels with 59 points, securing a win against Forest is imperative to solidify their position in the Premier League standings.
On the other hand, Nottingham Forest is fighting to avoid relegation after being hit with a four-point deduction for breaching financial rules. Despite a recent win against Fulham, the Tricky Trees are only three points above the drop zone. A victory against Tottenham would be a massive boost for their survival hopes.
Former Forest player Brennan Johnson has been in fine form for Spurs, scoring two goals and providing three assists in his last five Premier League appearances. Meanwhile, Morgan Gibbs-White has been a standout performer for Forest, with four goals and seven assists this season.
The match is set to kick off at 3pm ET on Monday, with coverage available on Peacock. Tottenham will be without Manor Solomon, Ryan Sessegnon, and Fraser Forster, while Nottingham Forest will be missing Taiwo Awoniyi and Nuno Tavares. Willy Boly is questionable for Forest, while Richarlison is a doubt for Tottenham. Don’t miss this crucial clash between two teams with everything to play for.
