Tottenham Hotspur take on Nottingham Forest at the City Ground on Saturday.
Tottenham Hotspur are back in Premier League action on Saturday afternoon when they travel to City Ground to face Nottingham Forest.
Despite massive expenditure this summer, Spurs have started the 2026/27 campaign with two defeats, sandwiched by a 5-1 thrashing of Charlton Athletic in the Carabao Cup second round. They suffered a 2-0 home loss to Newcastle United last weekend, and while it is early days, the pressure is already on head coach Roberto De Zerbi to make things right.
Next up is a trip to Nottingham Forest, who earned a credible point against Liverpool at Anfield. The Oliver Glasner-managed side’s tails will be up when they welcome Spurs at the weekend.

Team News for Nottingham Forest vs. Tottenham
Nottingham Forest are without defender Nicolo Savona and midfielder Ibrahim Sangare through injury ahead of this fixture. Latest signing Daniel Munoz, who joined from Crystal Palace, is expected to start on the bench.
As for Spurs, Mohammed Kudus returned last weekend from a quad injury that had sidelined him from January. Savio missed the Newcastle game with a muscle issue, but De Zerbi is hopeful that the Brazilian winger will be fit in time to face Forest. James Maddison is touch-and-go for this fixture after he suffered a minor shoulder fracture in the defeat at Brentford.
Tottenham signed Mykhaylo Mudryk and Tosin Adarabioyo from Chelsea on deadline day. Whether or not they are involved here remains to be seen.
TTLB prediction for Nottingham Forest vs. Tottenham
Under the tutelage of new boss, Forest are still adapting to Glasner’s 3-4-2-1 formation. The Austrian tactician must address his club’s home form, considering they’ve lost both matches this season at the City ground, both to Leeds United, once in the league and the other in the Carabao Cup. However, the Tricky Trees produced a strong display and returning with a point from Anfield should give them a lot of confidence.
De Zerbi has been backed significantly in the transfer window, with as many as 10 new faces arriving at Tottenham. Now, the onus is on the Italian to mould the team, give them identity and get them playing an attractive brand of football. He must lift the spirits of the players, who must be down after back-to-back league defeats.
All factors taken into account, it will be difficult to separate the two sides at the end of 90 minutes on Saturday.
Score prediction: Nottingham Forest 1-1 Tottenham
