According to Football Insider, the mood at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium has shifted from cautious optimism to desperation following the weekend’s heavy loss. Despite a resilient draw against Liverpool and a confidence-boosting win over Atletico Madrid earlier in the week, the capitulation against Forest appears to have made Tudor’s position untenable. The statistics make for grim reading; since his appointment, Tudor has managed just one win and one draw in seven outings, overseeing five defeats while his side have conceded 20 goals. This latest setback marks only the third time in Premier League history that Spurs have lost at home by three or more goals to a side starting the day in the bottom four.

While the club initially hoped Tudor would navigate the squad through to the end of the campaign, the threat of relegation has forced a rethink. The current tally of 30 points from 31 games equals Tottenham's lowest-ever return at this stage of a top-flight season, a record dating back to the 1914-15 campaign. Football Insider sources indicate that internal discussions are already "accelerating" as the board looks to use the two-week domestic hiatus to install a replacement. Former Everton CEO Keith Wyness has apparently suggested that Roberto De Zerbi remains the frontrunner due to his proven Premier League pedigree, though the club's managers from the past, including Harry Redknapp and Glenn Hoddle, have also been mentioned in connection with a short-term rescue mission.

The primary dilemma for the Spurs board is whether a top-tier candidate like De Zerbi would be willing to step into a volatile relegation scrap at this late point in the season. While initial plans favoured a summer appointment, the reality of being a solitary point ahead of 18th-placed West Ham has changed the timeline. The club is believed to be in active talks with multiple candidates, but a final long-term commitment may hinge on the team’s ability to secure their Premier League status. For now, the focus remains on finding a figure capable of stopping the defensive rot that has seen the team fall to the brink of the bottom three.

The international break provides a vital window for the board to potentially appoint a successor before the Premier League's final push begins next month. A daunting schedule awaits the struggling north London side, featuring high-stakes away fixtures against Sunderland and Wolves, bookending a crucial home clash with Brighton on April 18. Whoever takes the dugout must secure immediate results to halt the defensive rot and prevent a catastrophic slide into the Championship.

Sunday brings a massive clash at the bottom of the Premier League, with Tottenham and Nottingham Forest both desperate to snatch three points in their battle to stay afloat.

Tottenham vs Nottingham Forest kick-off time

Tottenham vs Nottingham Forest kicks off on 22 Mar at 09:15 EST and 14:15 GMT.

Match preview

Tottenham briefly lifted spirits in midweek Champions League action, edging Atletico Madrid 3‑2 in their last‑16 second leg. The win wasn’t enough to overturn the heavy 5‑2 defeat from the first leg, but paired with a draw at Premier League champions Liverpool just days earlier, it gave fans a reminder that resilience still exists in this side.

That said, Spurs remain in trouble domestically. They sit 16th in the Premier League, only a point above the relegation zone, and are enduring a 12‑match winless run in the league - their longest since 1935.

Nottingham Forest, meanwhile, enjoyed European success of their own. Vitor Pereira’s men overturned a narrow deficit against FC Midtjylland in the Europa League, thanks to goals from Nicolas Dominguez and Ryan Yates, before benefiting from a chaotic penalty shootout that sent them through to the quarter‑finals against Porto.

Back in the Premier League, however, Forest’s struggles continue. A goalless draw with Fulham stretched their winless run to seven matches and left them above the drop zone only on goal difference. Scoring has been a persistent issue, with 14 blanks this season, second only to Wolves.

Against Spurs, though, Forest have found joy. They beat Tottenham 3‑0 in December and have now won three straight league meetings between the sides, including a 2‑1 victory in this fixture last season.

Key stats & injury news

Tottenham finally have some relief on the injury front. Cristian Romero, Micky van de Ven, Conor Gallagher, Lucas Bergvall, and Destiny Udogie all made their returns in the Champions League second leg against Atletico Madrid, while Richarlison is back in the fold after serving his suspension in Europe. Dominic Solanke (hip) and Joao Palhinha (head) weren’t ready for Wednesday’s clash, but both are expected to be available this weekend.

Even so, Spurs still have a sizeable group missing: Yves Bissouma (muscle), Ben Davies (ankle), Mohammed Kudus (thigh), Rodrigo Bentancur (thigh), Wilson Odobert (knee), Dejan Kulusevski (knee), and James Maddison (knee) remain sidelined.

Forest’s situation isn’t much brighter. Dilane Bakwa had to come off during Thursday’s Europa League tie, though his knock doesn’t appear serious. The bigger concern is the long‑term injuries, with Willy Boly (knee), Jair Cunha (ankle), Chris Wood (knee), Nicolo Savona (knee), and John Victor (knee) all ruled out until after the international break.

For Spurs supporters, the wider context is sobering. The last three Premier League clubs to go winless in their first 12 league matches of a calendar year all ended up relegated - Middlesbrough in 2016‑17 being the most recent example. Adding to the anxiety, Tottenham currently own the worst home record in the division this season, with just 10 points collected from 15 games at their own ground.

How to watch on the Big Screen

Watching on your phone or laptop is fine, but live sports belongs on the big screen. Here is how to get the VPN working on your TV:

Spurs have signaled their intent to move past a fractured relationship with Forest by welcoming Marinakis to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. The Greek tycoon had previously threatened Spurs with legal action following a collapsed move for star midfielder Gibbs-White, which left the Forest hierarchy fuming over alleged confidentiality breaches. Despite the previous hostility, including reports that Forest considered a formal complaint to the Premier League over a £60 million release clause dispute, Spurs officials have downplayed the rift. According to The Telegraph, the Forest owner will be 'welcomed' as both sides prepare for a crucial top-flight encounter.

The saga concluded last summer with Gibbs-White signing a new three-year deal at the City Ground, prompting Marinakis to boast that "at the end of the day, we always win." While Daniel Levy was at the helm as chairman for Tottenham during those fractious negotiations, the day-to-day running of Spurs has since shifted to the Lewis family and CEO Vinai Venkatesham, who is expected to be present on Sunday.

It remains unclear if Marinakis will take up the invitation, as he is known for making travel decisions at the very last minute. Meanwhile, it could be painful for Spurs fans seeing Gibbs-White in a Forest shirt given it will serve as a reminder of a recruitment drive that saw them miss out on their primary target before also losing Eberechi Eze to Arsenal.

While boardroom drama dominated the buildup, manager Igor Tudor has focused on the resurgence of Netherlands international Xavi Simons, who became the club's top target after the failed Gibbs-White and Eze pursuits. The former PSG man recently netted a brace against Atletico Madrid, but the Lilywhites lost 7-5 on aggregate.

"He was motivated. He was good, with the right mentality," said Tudor . "When he’s like that, his qualities come out. It was a beautiful surprise for me. We need this in these last games we have to play."

The Spurs boss also provided a positive update on James Maddison’s recovery from an ACL injury. "Yeah. Maddison is already doing interesting things as well with the ball, sprinting as well. I saw him, he’s positive."

Vicario’s struggle for form reflects Tottenham’s dire season, with the club currently sitting 16th in the Premier League, just one point above the relegation zone. His recent 1-1 draw against Liverpool highlighted these issues when he conceded a free-kick, drawing stinging criticism from Sky Sports pundit Jamie Carragher. "He is a free-kick specialist, but I tell you what, Tottenham don't have a goalkeeping specialist," Carragher remarked. "That's awful, absolutely shocking from the goalkeeper. The reason why the other fella [Antonin Kinsky] played in midweek is because he's not good enough... Tottenham have got huge problems in goal."

Despite Tottenham’s recent struggles, Pagliuca insists that the goalkeeper's reputation remains intact. However, the lure of a club competing at the very highest level of European football might be too strong to ignore for the Italian, who moved to North London from Empoli in the summer of 2023. Speaking to Calciomercato, the legendary shot-stopper highlighted the prestige of the Italian giants as a major factor in any decision.

Pagliuca said: "He couldn’t make a better decision. If a team that’s just reached the Champions League final calls you, how can you say no? Now he’s had a bad season, he hasn’t performed as well as in his first year, but we’ve seen that the whole team has had problems, they changed coaches, then he was replaced in the Champions League, and whoever took his place has been disastrous."

While Vicario has faced criticism for his recent form in England — having conceded 62 goals in 42 appearances across all competitions for Tottenham this season— Pagliuca believes his fundamental traits make him an ideal "transfer opportunity" for Inter. This comes at a time when La Gazzetta dello Sport recently identified Vicario as a leading candidate to succeed Michele Di Gregorio at Juventus. Despite the scrutiny, the veteran analyst noted that while there is room for improvement, the 29-year-old remains one of the premier talents in the Italian goalkeeping pool.

“Vicario is definitely one of the best Italian goalkeepers around," Pagliuca explained. "He’s not a top player yet, but I think if he were to actually arrive, it would be a choice that goes beyond his nationality. Vicario will be chosen for his profile and that’s it. And it really seems like a transfer opportunity. Vicario is very good between the posts. His weakness is his inability to come off the line.”

From a strategic perspective, the upcoming summer window represents a logical time for Tottenham to consider a sale. Vicario is contracted until 2028, but with his value potentially peaking before his final years, Spurs may look to capitalise on the significant interest currently brewing in Italy.

Pagliuca also reflected on the goalkeeper's journey so far, noting: "He played in the world’s top league, at a club that a few years ago was aiming to win the Premier League. Last year he won the Europa League, even though this year they’re almost at risk of relegation." For both the player and the club, a fresh start in Milan could be the most beneficial outcome for all parties involved.

The source of the FA’s ire stems from Tudor’s suggestion that the officiating was skewed in favour of the home side. The Croatian coach was particularly incensed by the opening goal scored by Harry Wilson, believing that Raul Jimenez had committed a foul on Radu Dragusin in the build-up to the strike.

In his raw assessment after the final whistle, Tudor said: "I didn't like the referee today, too much of a home team referee I didn't feel well with him. All the decisions were on their side. He doesn't understand football, the feeling of what is wrong and what is right."

Beyond his criticism of the man in the middle, Tudor also took aim at Fulham forward Raul Jimenez for his role in the physical battle against Spurs' backline. The manager described the contact on Dragusin as an “incredible mistake” by the officiating crew and went as far as to label the striker's actions as dishonest.

Tudor was adamant that the goal should have been chalked off, telling reporters that Jimenez was “cheating” by pushing the Tottenham defender to gain an unfair advantage. This combative stance has ultimately led to the disciplinary proceedings now facing the former Marseille and Hellas Verona boss.

He said: "Of course it's a foul, I think. Nine out of 10 people will say it's a foul, I believe, because it's so obvious, you know. Sometimes they don't understand it's enough, even small contact, you know, if it gives you an advantage to score the goal, you need to cancel this, finish it. It's not about a normal duel when he's soft, no, when he pushes with the hands and don't watch the ball, no. Sometimes it's just easy to get advantage."

Tottenham and Tudor now have a brief window to assess their options and decide whether to contest the misconduct charge. The FA has confirmed that the Spurs manager has a deadline of early next week to provide his formal notification regarding the incident and his subsequent comments.

The statement concluded: “Igor Tudor has until Monday 23 March to reply to this charge.” Should the charge be upheld, Tudor could face a significant fine or even a potential touchline ban as Tottenham attempt to stave off the threat of relegation.

The atmosphere at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium has reached breaking point following a disastrous run of form that has left the club languishing in 16th place. Spurs are currently winless in eight matches and sit just a single point above the relegation zone, currently occupied by West Ham United. While a large-scale protest against the ownership was scheduled to coincide with Sunday’s visit of Nottingham Forest, the Change For Tottenham (CFT) group has opted to postpone the action. The decision stems from an acknowledgement that the club faces a significant threat to its Premier League status, leading fans to prioritise survival over institutional grievances.

In a heartfelt address to the fanbase, CFT clarified that their decision was not an endorsement of the current leadership but a duty to the badge. The group noted that while the board "don't deserve it," the precarious nature of the table requires a unified front. "First and foremost we are fans of Tottenham Hotspur Football Club," the statement read. The group emphasised that the success of their movement relies on numbers, and they fear that protesting during such a pivotal moment could compromise the situation. They concluded with a clear mantra: "We support the team and not the regime."

The backdrop to this truce is one of the darkest periods in the club's modern history. Beyond their domestic struggles, Spurs are on the brink of a Champions League exit after a bruising 5-2 first-leg defeat to Atletico Madrid in the round of 16. The supporters’ frustration is rooted in perceived failings on the part of the owners of the club that have allowed a squad of high earners to slide towards the bottom three. By calling off the protest, CFT hope to galvanise the fanbase, aiming to pull the team over the line while promising that the time for direct action against the board will return once the immediate threat is neutralised.

The immediate horizon provides no respite for a Spurs team devoid of confidence, with the daunting task of hosting Atletico. The squad must engineer a miraculous turnaround at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium to save their European campaign before a season-defining 'six-pointer' against Forest. With the international break approaching, the board is under intense pressure; any failure to secure a result in these home fixtures will almost certainly reignite calls for radical change, as the current truce with the fans is solely dependent on immediate results on the pitch.

Alisson Becker (8/10):

Had to be at his best to deny Souza and Richarlison (three times). Came off his line well to snuff out balls over the top with supreme composure.

Dominik Szoboszlai (8/10):

Really good from a defensive perspective in dealing with Tel and others. Used the ball well going forward. Capped his performance with yet another free-kick goal.

Joe Gomez (4/10):

Struggled at times up against Solanke. Seemed to be lacking in confidence.

Virgil van Dijk (6/10):

Came off second-best against Richarlison on more than one occasion, but did recover well at times.

Andy Robertson (4/10):

Couple of loose touches ruined opportunities for counter-attacks. Failure to challenge Kolo Muani led directly to Richarlison's equaliser.

Ryan Gravenberch (7/10):

Routinely used his long legs to win the ball back in midfield and spark Liverpool attacks.

Alexis Mac Allister (6/10):

Always looked to receive the ball and recycle it as soon as possible. Played some intelligent balls, particularly out to Ngumoha. Gave away possession too often in the final third.

Florian Wirtz (7/10):

Ran the show in the first half as he fizzed around the Tottenham penalty area. Faded a bit after the break before being replaced on the hour.

Jeremie Frimpong (5/10):

Locked in a good battle with Spence that he came out on top of at times. Lacked a cutting edge in the final third.

Cody Gakpo (5/10):

Deployed as a central striker and worked tirelessly off the ball. Had a shot pushed onto the post by Vicario, but his final shot or pass were otherwise disappointing.

Rio Ngumoha (8/10):

Slowly grew into his full Premier League debut but, by the time he was replaced just past the hour mark, he was the most threatening player on the pitch. Left Porro for dead on numerous occasions, and if not for better finishing he would have marked the game with a goal.

Hugo Ekitike (5/10):

Posed a threat on the counter but his final pass and shot fell well short, including during a late counter-attack.

Mohamed Salah (7/10):

A real bright spark after replacing Frimpong. Created chances and had a shot saved by Vicario.

Curtis Jones (6/10):

Not as incisive as Wirtz but put in a solid shift for half an hour.

Trey Nyoni (N/A):

Replaced Gakpo for the final eight minutes or so.

Federico Chiesa (N/A):

On in stoppage time as Liverpool chased a winner.

Arne Slot (4/10):

Given Spurs' form, a disastrous result. Not all of his rotations worked even if some stars got a rest. Lack of cutting edge again proved costly as they threw away more points late on.

Manchester City are preparing to launch a summer move for Tottenham Hotspur defender Porro. The Premier League champions are ramping up their search for a new specialist right-back ahead of the upcoming campaign, according to Football Insider.

City are yet to fully replace the influence of Kyle Walker since his departure last summer. Consequently, Porro has emerged as the leading candidate to fill that void, having established himself as one of the most productive full-backs in the division despite Tottenham's difficult season.

The Spaniard has registered one goal and five assists in 37 appearances this term. He has maintained his status as a key creative outlet for the north London side, even as they struggle at the wrong end of the table and face the genuine threat of dropping into the Championship.

A move for the defender would represent a sensational return to Manchester. City originally signed him from Girona for around £11 million in 2019, but he never made a competitive appearance, spending time on loan at Real Valladolid and Sporting CP before moving to Lisbon permanently in 2022.

Speaking on the Transfer Insider podcast, journalist Pete O'Rourke explained the situation. "Man City have had a long-term interest in Porro," he said. "They know all about the Spanish international, having signed him from Girona in 2019. He never played a game for Man City during his time at the club."

O'Rourke added that the player's departure could be inevitable if Spurs go down. "Porro has been a top performer for Spurs since his arrival. They won’t really want to lose him, but it could be out of their hands if they were to suffer the ill fate of being relegated this season, which is a real possibility."

Porro is not the only high-profile name tipped to leave the capital this summer. Swedish sensation Lucas Bergvall is also attracting significant interest, with Chelsea reportedly monitoring the midfielder's situation closely as they look to bolster their own squad.

While Bergvall is currently sidelined with an injury, his 71 appearances since joining from Djurgarden in 2024 have marked him out as one of the league's brightest prospects. Although he is not actively pushing for a move, the financial reality of relegation would likely force Tottenham into a fire sale of their top assets.
