Tottenham vs Nottingham Forest: Preview, predictions and lineups
Tottenham Hotspur will look to continue the high of Thursday’s victory over Eintracht Frankfurt when they face Nottingham Forest on Monday.
Ange Postecoglou’s side booked their spot in the Europa League semi-final and now have all their focus on winning that competition, although the chance to climb above Manchester United in the Premier League table is undoubtedly an enticing one.
Forest, meanwhile, are riding high in sixth and can climb back up to third with victory here. A spot in the top five is all Nuno Espirito Santo’s side need to qualify for the Champions League.
Here’s 90min‘s preview of the game.

James Maddison picked up a knock against Frankfurt and is unlikely to be risked here as Postecoglou prioritises Europa League success. He’ll miss out alongside Son Heung-min and Radu Dragusin.
Tottenham predicted lineup vs Nottingham Forest (4-3-3): Vicario; Porro, Danso, Davies, Spence; Bentancur, Sarr, Kulusevski; Odobert, Richarlison, Tel
Forest’s only concerns involve right-back Ola Aina and striker Taiwo Awoniyi. The pair are battling minor injuries which Nuno described as “day-to-day” ahead of the game.
Nottingham Forest predicted lineup vs Tottenham (4-2-3-1): Sels; Williams, Milenkovic, Murillo, Moreno; Anderson, Dominguez; Elanga, Gibbs-White, Hudson-Odoi; Wood
Things could hardly be more different for these two teams. Tottenham will take their foot off the gas, resting big names while they focus on winning the Europa League, while Forest will give their all to make sure they book the spot in the Champions League their performances this year have deserved.
While Forest were favourites heading into this game anyway, the circumstances should make it a relatively comfortable triumph for Nuno’s side.
