Nottingham Forest - Tottenham
Last updated: Today, at Nottingham Forest look to bounce back against Tottenham Hotspur
Saturday 5 September 2026 at the City Ground, Nottingham, Nottingham Forest host Tottenham Hotspur for this Premier League matchday 3 clash. The hosts are eager to find their rhythm after a challenging start, having recently drawn 2-2 with Liverpool. Meanwhile, the visitors arrive looking to recover from a difficult result against Newcastle United. The absence of Ibrahim Sangare due to injury will test the depth of the Forest midfield, as Xaver Schlager and Morgan Gibbs-White prepare to anchor the expected XI against a Tottenham side featuring Omar Marmoush and Mathys Tel.
Historically, this fixture has favoured the home side, though Tottenham will be keen to overturn their recent struggles in this matchup. With both teams navigating early-season inconsistencies, the tactical battle in midfield will be pivotal. Tottenham will look to build on the attacking momentum they showed in their EFL Cup victory, while Forest aims to leverage the support at the City Ground to secure a vital result.
