Just one point separates Tottenham and Nottingham Forest, who are outside the relegation places on just goal difference, so this is a crunch clash in the battle for Premier League survival.
Spurs are winless in 12 Premier League matches while Forest have gone seven top-flight fixtures without a victory, and this could be a defining day in the relegation shake-up.

A relegation six-pointer is a term that can be sprinkled about all too frequently but with eight games to go the stakes could not be much higher for Tottenham and Nottingham Forest.
Last season’s Europa League winners Spurs find themselves only one point above the relegation zone following a 12-game winless run, and they are the only side without a Premier League victory in 2026.
Forest, meanwhile, are one point behind 16th-placed Spurs and outside the relegation zone only on goal difference, an unsettling position given West Ham’s mini-resurgence.
Victory for either side could go a long way to springing them to survival, a scenario which can often contribute to a cagey affair.
Spurs supporters will be hoping that Wednesday’s 3-2 win at home to Atletico Madrid can fuel the fire for their players and the injury situation is looking much healthier than it has virtually all season.
However, Tottenham have the worst home record in the Premier League this season with only two wins in 15 outings and it is hard to trust a side that hasn't registered a Premier League success since a battling 1-0 victory at Crystal Palace on December 28.
Forest booked their place in the Europa League quarter-final on Thursday to show their capabilities but they too are winless in seven top-flight matches.
The Tricky Trees twice came from behind to salvage a 2-2 draw at Manchester City in their last away league games and, led by Morgan Gibbs-White, they have the players to hurt Tottenham.
But Spurs are looking much healthier in midfield and forward areas and their recent matches have been littered with goals.
Both teams have scored in Tottenham's last seven fixtures and nine of their last ten at home, while Forest have seen both teams score in five of their last six away games and both teams' desperation for victory could mean things open up.
Anderson angling for another card
Given the scenario, cards look assured and highly-rated Nottingham Forest midfielder Elliot Anderson appears a prime candidate.
Anderson picked up his third yellow in four games despite coming off the bench at Midtjylland on Thursday, making it ten cards in 40 appearances this season.
England’s World Cup hopeful was cautioned against Spurs last season and he made three fouls in a 3-0 win between the sides earlier in the campaign.
Tottenham vs Nottingham Forest Bet Builder
Over 3.5 cards
The pressure points towards a fiery exchange and only Brighton have collected more yellow cards this season than Tottenham's tally of 76 in 30 games.
Morgan Gibbs-White anytime goalscorer
Gibbs-White is Forest's key creator and he has scored on his last two away league trips to Brighton and Manchester City.
Elliot Anderson to commit two or more fouls
The Tricky Trees midfielder has committed 15 fouls in his last ten Premier League matches and he conceded three free-kicks in December's reverse fixture.
Pays out at 8-1 with bet365
