Here are the latest team news and confirmed lineups for this afternoon\u2019s vital Premier League clash between Tottenham Hotspur and Nottingham Forest. Both clubs are separated by just one point, and enter today\u2019s match aware of the importance of victory. Spurs collected a crucial point against Liverpool last week, and continued that momentum by winning the second leg of their Champions League tie with Atl\u00e9tico Madrid. Those results have offered Igor Tudor\u2019s side renewed belief that they can register their first league win of 2026. With the season\u2019s end in sight, the margin of error is decreasing, and Spurs know the significance of a positive result today.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Forest also played in midweek, defeating FC Midtjylland on penalties to reach the quarter-finals of the Europa League. That result followed two successive league draws against Manchester City and Fulham. Vitor Pereira has created some momentum as Forest aim to maintain their Premier League status. Yet they have not secured a league victory since a 2\u20130 win over Brentford in January, so picking up points in north London is increasingly important.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
