Tottenham v Nottingham Forest

Tottenham vs Nottingham Forest Preview

Tottenham picked up a point in a 1-1 draw away from home at West Ham on Tuesday night and the north London side will now return to the home surroundings of their Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for Sunday evening's clash against lowly Nottingham Forest as Ange Postecoglou's side look to not only pick up an important three points but to also overhaul Aston Villa into fourth spot, while Nottingham Forest registered a vital 3-1 home win against Fulham on Tuesday night in their bid to avoid relegation.

Thanks to Aston Villa's recent slump in form, Tottenham are now within touching distance of leapfrogging the west midlands club into fourth spot in the Premier League table assisted by recent wins against Crystal Palace, Aston Villa and Luton Town in 3-1, 4-0 and 2-1 wins respectively and although Spurs have suffered a couple of losses in recent times, victories have outweighed the defeats.

Losses to Wolves and Fulham have been compensated by picking up six wins within their last 11 games which includes just these two defeats along with picking up points in three draws as well.

Tottenham have also produced an impressive run of wins on home soil as well in the Premier League lately as the north London outfit have collected seven wins out of their last eight games in their own backyard.

Nottingham Forest put an end to a previously worrying five-match winless sequence in the Premier League on Tuesday night when the Tricky Trees registered a desperately important 3-1 home win against Fulham at the City Ground which has helped lift Nuno Espirito Santo's side three points clear of the relegation zone.

Nottingham Forest had previously slipped to losses against the likes of Aston Villa, Liverpool and Brighton which had dumped the east midlands club dangerously close to the bottom three clubs but that midweek win has given the visitors a bit of breathing space for the time being.

However, Forest know they must continue picking up points if they are to avoid being dragged down the trap-door and into the Championship but having managed to achieve just two wins from their last 11 matches overall, the visitors' situation doesn't look too bright ahead of this upcoming clash at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Six defeats within their last 11 matches overall do not bode well for the visitors but neither does the fact that Nottingham Forest have managed to capture just two wins on the road throughout this campaign along with being dealt nine defeats in the process as well.
