Tottenham vs Nottingham Forest kick-off, date & TV info
Date Sunday, March 22
Kick-off 2.15pm
Venue Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, London
Competition Premier League
TV Sky Sports Main Event
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.
Tottenham vs Nottingham Forest betting tips & predictions
Best bet
Both teams to score & over 2.5 goals
Best player bet
Elliot Anderson to be shown a card
Tottenham vs Nottingham Forestpreview
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.

Date Sunday, March 15
Kick-off 4.30pm
Venue Anfield, Liverpool
Competition Premier League
TV Sky Sports Premier League and Sky Sports Main Event
Liverpool host Tottenham in the Premier League on Sunday and the Anfield clash is a significant game at both ends of the table.
Arne Slot's Reds are chasing a top-five finish while Spurs are in the relegation scrap and both clubs suffered Champions League last-16 first-leg defeats this week.

Kevin Danso to receive first card
Liverpool vs Tottenhampreview
European competitions had provided some solace for troubled Tottenham during the past two seasons – at least until Tuesday's trip to Atletico Madrid.
Having won the 2024-25 Europa League, Spurs finished a creditable fourth in this term's Champions League standings.
But Igor Tudor's men were torn apart by Atletico, who raced into a 4-0 lead inside 22 minutes on their way to a 5-2 victory in the last-16 first leg.
Tudor's reign has been more reminiscent of Liz Truss than Elizabeth I and things are unlikely to improve against Liverpool at Anfield.
Spurs have won two of their 20 league matches since the start of November, picking up just two points from their last nine.
They have conceded at least twice in all nine of those games and travel to Anfield without a dozen senior players including first-choice centre-backs Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero.
Van de Ven is suspended after his red card in last week's damaging 3-1 home defeat to Crystal Palace.
And ill discipline also cost Tottenham in December's reverse fixture against Liverpool, who clung on for a 2-1 victory after Xavi Simons and Romero were sent off for their hosts.
Liverpool remain hard to trust away from home, having lost 2-1 at Wolves in the Premier League and 1-0 at Galatasaray in the Champions League in the past couple of weeks.
But they thumped West Ham 5-2 in their most recent home fixture and Tottenham's last four visits to Anfield ended in 4-3, 4-2, 4-0 and 5-1 defeats.
The Reds also won 6-3 at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium last season so splitting stakes between 4-1 and 4-2 home wins could be profitable in the correct-score market.
Liverpool had 4-1 home victories over Barnsley in the FA Cup and Newcastle in the Premier League in January while Tottenham lost both of this season's derbies against Arsenal by that scoreline.
Spurs's attacking unit is in far better shape than their defence but it is hard to see them snapping their six-game losing streak.
Gravenberch poses an underrated attacking threat at Anfield
Tottenham have conceded 18 goals in those six defeats so Liverpool midfielder Ryan Gravenberch should have licence to get forward and threaten the Spurs goal.
Three of the Dutchman's four league goals this season came at Anfield and he has had at least two shots in five of his last seven home games in the top flight.
Dangerous forwards should test Danso's discipline
With Van de Ven and Romero missing, Kevin Danso and Radu Dragusin are set to start for Tottenham, either in a back four or a three-man defence.
Danso received a yellow card in the final ten minutes against Atletico but he may struggle to stay out of trouble for long at Anfield, having been booked four times in 752 minutes of Premier League action this term.

Key stats for Liverpool vs Tottenham
♦ Four of Liverpool's last five Premier League matches were 0-0 at half-time

♦ Both teams have scored in 18 of the last 20 league meetings between these clubs

Tottenham vs Crystal Palacepreview
A year is a long time in football and Tottenham and Crystal Palace have gone some way towards proving that this season.
Spurs lifted the Europa League and Crystal Palace triumphed in the FA Cup last May but fast forward to the present and the pair are spending their spring attempting to distance themselves from a relegation battle.
Two losses in Igor Tudor’s first two games mean Tottenham started the midweek round four points above the drop zone and with Palace only six points better off than the Lilywhites, Thursday’s London derby is a crucial one.
A win for either side would prove huge in their bid to avoid a potentially catastrophic relegation but neither have shown anything in recent weeks to encourage punters to get behind them.
The pair have each lost eight of their last 13 Premier League games and both have key players unavailable.
Cristian Romero and Maxence Lacroix’s suspensions mean both sides will be without their best centre-back and two shaky defences may be exploited in north London.
Fulham should have scored way more than the two goals they put past Spurs on Sunday while Palace were also fortunate to only lose 2-1 on the same day against Manchester United, who had 11 shots on target at Old Trafford.
Those defences should again come under serious pressure as the one positive for the pair is that they are still scoring goals. The Eagles have scored in ten games in a row while Tottenham have failed to find the net in only one of their last 12 outings.
Tudor desperately needs improvement from his struggling Spurs side and will go on the front foot while Palace, due to Lacroix’s suspension and Marc Guehi’s January exit, don’t have the defensive reinforcements to sit back and absorb pressure.
An open game between two desperate sides is expected in north London and goals look certain to flow.
Sarr set to star against sorry Spurs
Tottenham had major problems dealing with Fulham’s Oscar Bobb, Harry Wilson and substitute Samuel Chukwueze on Sunday and another tricky winger looks set to cause them problems this time.
Ismaila Sarr has bags of pace and should have no trouble getting behind a Spurs defence which has shipped at least two goals in eight consecutive Premier League games.
The Senegalese speedster has scored three goals in his last four away appearances and can find joy on the road again.
Palace primed to make a fast start
It took Fulham just seven minutes to find the net against Tottenham on Sunday and, with a toxic atmosphere expected in north London, Tudor’s struggling Spurs might make another sluggish start.
Palace led Manchester United 1-0 after only four minutes over the weekend and they will be keen to add to Tottenham’s growing nerves by going on the front foot from the off.
Tottenham vs Crystal Palace Bet Builder
Both teams to score
Eight of Tottenham’s last nine league games as well as five of Palace’s last seven top-flight outings have featured goals for both teams.
Jorgen Strand Larsen to have two or more shots
The Norwegian has managed nine shots in four Premier League appearances for the Eagles and should get plenty of opportunities to let fly.
Micky van de Ven to be booked
The Dutch defender picked up a seventh Premier League booking of the season against Fulham for a late challenge and with Spurs facing another frustrating game, he may show his ire again.

Tottenham are edging ever closer to the Premier League relegation zone and new manager Igor Tudor desperately needs a win when his team take on Crystal Palace this evening.
Both teams are leaking goals so an open affair is expected in north London and Betfair are offering new customers 50-1 that a goal is scored in tonight's Premier League clash.
Betfair are also adding in a £10 free bet to use on next week's Cheltenham Festival. Read on for details on how to claim your bonus, all the T&Cs, and a handy guide to creating a Betfair account.
Get 50-1 on a goal to be scored in Tottenham vs Crystal Palace with Betfair
Tottenham are still searching for a first win of 2026 after Sunday’s 2-1 defeat at Fulham made it six losses and four draws in ten games this year, but a leaky defence means there is no guarantee that a maiden success arrives tonight.
The Lilywhites have now conceded two or more goals in eight straight Premier League games, so Igor Tudor may have to adopt a gung-ho approach and attempt to outscore Crystal Palace if he is to earn a first win as Spurs manager.
Spurs have the attackers to do that – Dominic Solanke, Xavi Simons and Mathys Tel make up a talented frontline and the north Londoners have failed to score in only one of their last eight Premier League games, suggesting prioritising attack over defence may be the best plan.
However, Palace might have the same idea. The Eagles have now scored in ten straight games after Sunday’s narrow 2-1 defeat to Manchester United and Jorgen Strand Larsen, Ismaila Sarr and former Lilywhite Brennan Johnson are all capable of hurting Tottenham's woeful defence.
At least one team has found the net in the last 24 meetings between the London rivals, so Betfair’s offer of 50-1 for a goal to be scored is an appealing one, and punters also have the chance to bolster their Cheltenham Festival betting bank with a £10 free bet.

Tottenham suffered a 4-1 mauling at the hands of north London rivals Arsenal last weekend in Igor Tudor's first game in charge and Spurs could be plunged further into the Premier League relegation mire when they head to Fulham on Sunday afternoon.
Craven Cottage has not been a happy hunting for the Lilywhites over the last couple of years and more disappointment could be on the cards against the Cottagers, who are still harbouring hopes of a European finish.

Fulham vs Tottenhampreview
Relegation is looking a distinct possibility for Tottenham and manager Igor Tudor is under no illusions about the scale of the task of keeping the Londoners in the Premier League.
That job could look even tougher after his side head across the capital for a difficult clash at Fulham.
Tudor, who has plenty of managerial experience at Lazio, Marseille and Juventus, says everything "should be good" as long as his side focus on "what we can do, less thinking about others".
However, putting that into practice is another thing entirely and last weekend's 4-1 thrashing at home to leaders Arsenal is a stark reminder of the challenge ahead.
Spurs were put to the sword by the Gunners, who had 20 shots at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, and relegation fears will increase unless Tudor tightens a defence who have failed to keep a clean sheet in eight league matches.
Whether Tudor has had enough time to get his methods across remains to be seen, but the squad is depleted by injuries and suspension and they could come a cropper against a Fulham side holding European aspirations.
The Cottagers have won their last two matches, beating Stoke in the FA Cup before landing a rare win at the Stadium of Light when overcoming Sunderland 3-1, and a third successive victory is well within their grasp.
Marco Silva's troops have been strong at home, winning four of their last six fixtures, and they have also won the last two league meetings against Spurs at Craven Cottage.
Fulham have not been a side to blow away opponents, though, and it is notable that of their 11 top-flight wins this season, eight of those have come by a single goal including five of their seven triumphs at home.
With Tottenham low on confidence and struggling on the road with just one win in their last eight away matches in the league, Fulham can record another narrow victory to pile the misery on Spurs.
Iwobi can test the goalkeeper
Alex Iwobi is a driving force in Fulham's midfield, regularly carrying the ball forward and starting attacks, and he has not been afraid to have a go at goal, with five shots attempted across his last two appearances.
The Nigeria international tested the goalkeeper in last weekend's win over Sunderland, the second time he has had a shot on target in his last five starts, and he looks capable of calling Spurs stopper Vicario into action.
Kolo Muani to leave his mark
Tottenham forward Randal Kolo Muani has been leading his side's press and he committed six fouls in the loss to Arsenal, taking his foul count to ten in his last two starts having made four in the draw against Manchester City.
The 27-year-old has managed to evade a booking in both of those matches but his luck could be about to run out at Craven Cottage as referee Paul Tierney averages nearly four yellows per Premier League game this season.

Both teams to score
Both teams have scored in six of Fulham's last seven home games in the league and in two of Tottenham's last three away top-flight assignments.
Yves Bissouma to be booked
The Mali international has picked up two bookings in his last three starts and could be in for a busy afternoon in the Tottenham midfield.
Raul Jimenez anytime goalscorer
Fulham's Mexican forward netted a brace in the win at Sunderland last weekend, taking his tally to three goals from his last four starts.

Three draws in four Premier League outings has opened the door for Manchester City in the title race and Arsenal will be out to quash accusations of being 'bottle jobs' in their visit to north London rivals Tottenham.
The Gunners remain in the driving seat at the top but throwing away a two-goal lead at Wolves on Wednesday has raised concerns and Spurs, who are preparing for their first match under new boss Igor Tudor, will want to inflict further damage as they bid to ease their relegation fears.

Tottenham vs Arsenalpreview
Having finished second in the Premier League title race in each of the last three seasons, there is a sense of angst that history could be about to repeat itself for Arsenal.
The Gunners remain at the top of the Premier League table but have been held to score draws in their last two games away to Brentford and Wolves, the latest of which provides the most concern as they blew a two-goal lead against the basement boys.
Matters may still just about be in Arsenal’s hands, but Manchester City are in hot pursuit and Mikel Arteta will be desperate to see his side resume winning ways at north London rivals Tottenham.
Spurs have been easy to oppose for much of the season but a first game in charge for new boss Igor Tudor adds an extra element of spice to an already fierce rivalry.
Tudor’s opening task is made harder by a crippling injury list but he has enjoyed short-term success with clubs such as Lazio and Juventus in Serie A and is likely to trigger some sort of response from a team who started the weekend only five points clear of the relegation places.
Reverting to a back-three system is likely to be in the offing for Tudor and, although defensive deficiencies may persist, there should be opportunity for players such as Xavi Simon and Dominic Solanke to cause problems.
Having been so defensively irresistible for much of Arteta’s tenure, Arsenal have conceded in nine of their last 13 away games, including twice at Sunderland, Aston Villa, Bournemouth, Chelsea and Wolves.
Tottenham’s league home games against Manchester City, Manchester United, Aston Villa, Liverpool and Newcastle have all produced over 2.5 goals with both teams scoring and this fixture has often delivered more than it has not.
Three or more goals and both sides finding the net have been a feature of seven of the last ten north London derbies and, with motivation at a maximum for both clubs, that trend can be enhanced.
Speedy Simons set to taunt Timber
Tottenham will be relying on Simons to provide their attacking impetus and, having drawn 34 fouls in 20 games, Arsenal will have to be careful with their challenges.
Simons has drawn three or more fouls in five of his last nine Premier League appearances and with the Dutchman preferring a left-sided role, Gunners right-back Jurrien Timber could be tested.
Timber picked up a first-half booking on last season’s trip to Tottenham and has been carded in three of his last nine matches.
Gunners should make another quick start
Arsenal have opened the scoring in their last nine matches and they will look to catch Tottenham cold with another fast start.
The Gunners took just five minutes to take the lead at Wolves on Wednesday and that was the fourth time in that run of nine games that they were in the ascendancy after 11 minutes or fewer.
