Tottenham vs Nottingham Forest LIVE: Team news as visitors continue top-four push in Premier League
Nuno Espirito Santo’s side are looking to get back on track after consecutive defeats
Nottingham Forest will hope to return to form as they continue their chase for a Champions League place with a trip to Tottenham Hotspur.
Nuno Espirito Santo’s side have been the Premier League’s surprise package in this campaign but have had their chances of a top-five finish imperilled by consecutive league defeats. With an FA Cup semi-final to come next weekend, Forest will hope to produce a strong end to the season and ensure a campaign to remember translates into truly tangible success.
Spurs are also still in the hunt for a trophy, though domestic matters are now clearly not the priority after an impressive Europa League win in midweek. Victory at Eintracht Frankfurt has staved off the sack for Ange Postecoglou - perhaps temporarily - but their lowly place in the Premier League is a matter that the Australian will wish to improve.

Early team news - Tottenham
There were worrying signs for Spurs against Eintracht Frankfurt on Thursday night as James Maddison went down heavily in a head-first collision with opposition keeper Kaua Santos, before coming off shortly before half-time clutching his hip.
However, Ange Postecoglou appeared satisfied there was no lasting injury to the midfielder and he’s expected to be included today.
But Radu Dragusin remains a long-term injury absentee and captain Son Heung-Min will miss the game due to a foot injury.
