Tottenham Hotspur host Nottingham Forest on Sunday at 2:15pm. It is a high-stakes match for both teams, who are currently split by one point in the Premier League table. Spurs enter the match following a morale-boosting 3-2 victory over Atlético Madrid in the Champions League. Having recorded an encouraging draw against Liverpool in their last league game, Spurs have ended a run of defeats, and built a platform in their bid for survival.
Forest were also in European action this week. Vitor Pereira’s side overcame FC Midtjylland via a penalty shootout to reach the quarter-finals of the Europa League. Their Premier League form has been steady under the Portuguese manager, having avoided defeat in their last two outings, including a 2–2 draw against Manchester City. While they have become difficult to beat, Forest will be searching for their first league win since January 25. Despite their ongoing Europa League campaign, survival remains the priority and a positive result in north London would be monumental.
