Tottenham Hotspur v Nottingham Forest

Team news

Tottenham captain Son Heung-min will again be absent as he manages a foot problem.

Midfielder James Maddison is a doubt due to the injury that forced him off against Eintracht Frankfurt on Thursday.

Nottingham Forest will make a late decision on the fitness of Ola Aina and Taiwo Awoniyi.

Aina has been sidelined with a calf injury, while Awoniyi has missed the past two games with a hamstring issue.

Match facts

Head-to-head

Forest ended a sequence of six successive top-flight defeats versus Tottenham by winning the reverse fixture. They could now complete a league double over Spurs for the first time since the 1996-97 campaign.

Their last win away at Tottenham was 1-0 in the top flight in March 1997. Tottenham have won the last three.

Tottenham Hotspur

Tottenham's tally of 17 league defeats this season is only surpassed by the bottom three sides.

It's the most defeats Spurs have suffered in a league campaign since losing 19 in 2003-04.

Ange Postecoglou is one of only three Spurs bosses to lose 17 or more Premier League games in a season, along with Ossie Ardiles in 1993-94 (19) and Gerry Francis in 1996-97 (18).

Since their 4-0 victory over Manchester City on 23 November, Spurs have won only 18 points from 60 available (W5, D3, L12).

Tottenham have lost 16 of their last 20 top-flight matches against teams starting the day in the top half of the table.

Mathys Tel could become the first teenager to score in three successive Premier League games for Spurs, and only the fourth non-English teenager to do so.

Nottingham Forest

After three straight league wins and an unbeaten run of six matches in all competitions, Forest have suffered back-to-back defeats.

They are looking to avoid losing three matches in a row for only the second time under Nuno Espirito Santo.

Forest have lost just two of their last 35 league games played on Easter Monday (W21, D12), while in the top-flight they are unbeaten in 16 (W13, D3) dating back to a loss at Chelsea in 1966.

Their only remaining league fixture versus a current top-half side is against Chelsea on the final day of the season.

Match Facts

Having lost six of their seven Premier League games against Nottingham Forest between 1993 and 1997, Tottenham have now won their last five against them, keeping four clean sheets in the process.
Nottingham Forest have lost their last two away league games against Tottenham, having lost just one of their previous 11 visits before this (W8 D2).
Tottenham have won 11 of their 15 home Premier League matches this season (L4) and are the only side yet to draw a match on home soil in 2023-24. Since losing three in a row in November and December, Spurs have won seven of their last eight at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium (L1).
Nottingham Forest have won just two of their last 25 away Premier League matches (D7 L16). Since winning their first away game under Nuno Espírito Santo on Boxing Day at Newcastle, Forest are winless in five on the road (D2 L3).
Tottenham Hotspur have come from behind to win five Premier League home matches this season, including in their last home game against Luton. It’s their most home wins from losing positions in a single season in the competition.
Spurs have only failed to score in one of their last 42 Premier League matches, doing so in a 3-0 defeat to Fulham last month. They have scored in 29 different games this season, with no side scoring in more in 2023-24.
Nottingham Forest have scored 3+ goals in two of their 14 Premier League games under Nuno Espírito Santo, as many times as they did in 55 games under Steve Cooper. Forest are looking to net three or more goals in consecutive top-flight games in the same season for the first time since March/April 1995.
Nottingham Forest manager Nuno Espírito Santo took charge of 10 Premier League matches as Spurs manager at the start of the 2021-22 season. Mauricio Pochettino won away at Spurs earlier this season with Chelsea and there’s only been three instances previously of two former managers winning away at a former club in a season: Glenn Roeder and Harry Redknapp at West Ham in 2006-07, Roy Hodgson and Kenny Dalglish at Blackburn in 2011-12 and David Moyes and Marco Silva at Everton this season.
Son Heung-Min has been involved in 11 goals in his last 12 Premier League appearances at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium (7 goals, 4 assists) and scored in Spurs’ 3-1 home win over Nottingham Forest last March.
Since the turn of the year, Brennan Johnson has been involved in more Premier League goals than any other Spurs player (7 - 4 goals, 3 assists). His 12 total goal involvements in 2023-24 (5 goals, 7 assists) are the most by a Welsh player in a campaign since Gareth Bale in 2020-21 (13 - 11 goals, 2 assists).
