Injuries and Suspensions
Nottingham Forest host Tottenham Hotspur at the City Ground in a Premier League fixture that carries early-season weight for both clubs.
Oliver Glasner's Forest have made an uneven start to the campaign. A 2-2 draw with Liverpool on matchday two offered encouragement, but back-to-back defeats to Leeds United in the league and Carabao Cup have dulled the mood in Nottingham.
Tottenham arrive under Roberto De Zerbi having spent close to £400 million across the summer, yet the results have not yet reflected that ambition. Consecutive Premier League defeats to Brentford and Newcastle United leave Spurs sitting at the bottom of the table heading into this fixture.
De Zerbi's side did show attacking intent in the Carabao Cup, beating Charlton Athletic 5-1, but their Premier League form demands a response. The pressure on the new-look squad to justify the club's extraordinary outlay is mounting.
Forest, for their part, know the City Ground can be a difficult place to visit. Glasner will look to his side's defensive organisation to frustrate a Spurs attack that has misfired in the opening weeks.
The head-to-head record between these sides has swung sharply in Forest's favour in recent meetings, adding another layer of intrigue to proceedings.
Here is everything you need to know about how to watch Nottingham Forest vs Tottenham Hotspur, including TV channel, live stream details, and kick-off time.
