Tottenham Hotspur face Nottingham Forest in a Premier League clash on St Stephen's Day, with both teams in contrasting form. Tottenham are struggling after a string of poor results, while Forest have been on an impressive winning streak.
Tottenham arrive in Nottingham amidst an inconsistent run of form and pressure will surely mount on Ange Postecoglou if results don't improve very soon. Spurs have been beset by injuries and suspensions over the past month, which has seen them plummet down the Premier League table. They lost 6-3 at home to Liverpool last Sunday, just days after beating Manchester United 4-3 to reach the semi-finals of the Carabao Cup.

They’re doing it to the maximum of their ability and it’s a credit to them. “I still think in the long term that’s going to hold us in good stead.” Nottingham Forest boss Nuno Espirito Santo: “I’m always confident since the beginning and even last season. “Always confident the good work and dedication and commitment can achieve good results and I’m very proud of the players – the way they work every day, staying humble and recognising we have a lot of things to improve and a long way to go. “Very pleased that players are stepping in (to help contribute goals) either on set-piece situations or (from) our centre-halve
