Nottingham Forest Host Tottenham as Spurs Search for First Goals and Points

Tottenham's expensive rebuild faces early scrutiny after two goalless league defeats while Forest weigh late signings and home form ahead of the City Ground clash.

Overview

  • The Premier League fixture is scheduled for Saturday at 15:00 BST at the City Ground, with both teams still seeking a first win of the 2026–27 season.
  • Tottenham have lost their opening two league games without scoring, increasing pressure on manager Roberto De Zerbi after heavy summer spending on new players.
  • Spurs completed late-window additions including Mykhailo Mudryk on loan and Tosin Adarabioyo, and both are available to feature which could alter De Zerbi's selection and tactics.
  • Forest signed Colombia wing-back Daniel Munoz late in the window and Glasner confirmed he is available but still building fitness after nasal surgery and limited preseason minutes.
  • Recent history and form create a contested outlook: Forest have won the last four league meetings with Spurs but have won only one of their last 12 home league games, making this a key early test for both teams.
