Tottenham will go to East Midlands to play match against Nottingham Forest. Losing row has been stopped and Spurs are back on winning ways again. Situation with injuries is the same with exception of new injury of Lo Celso who will miss this game. Home side lost couple of games with firecraker losing of 5:0 against rampaging Fulham away. They are in big fight to avoid relegation too, but they draw against Wolverhampton in last game. They have passionate fans and can be big trouble to opponents. It's club with big tradition which was two times champion of Europe.
There is no doubt Tottenham have better players on paper despite injury crises, Spurs are favorites to win this one. It will be valid only if they run out with right mindset. Fact that Lo Celso has been injured tells me that we can expect again Dejan Kulusevski in his favorite number 10 role in which he plays so good. Three games on that position and three marks of 9 for him. Engine behind him with Bissouma and Sarr is very serious too. With return of Sarr and Romero Biss have more freedom to do dribbles because even if he lose the ball it would probably not be goal with so good players alongside him. Richarlison like to play against this opponent, he will probably be in #9 role again after excellent play vs Newcastle, while Son and ex Forest player Johnson left and right of him. Defense will be the same like in previous game.
Main danger is fact that home side can be very physical or rough, but I hope they will not break play to many times. We really don't need new injury of some key player. I put a lot of hopes in Dejan Kulusevski, who really shine in number 10 role and of course Son. If things go well and we get lead of couple of goals it could be also opportunity for young starlet Donley who plays in same position. Other danger is like always possibility that some tall lad mount on Davies in aerial duel on back post, but I think defending coach Mile Jedinak teach Ben how to deal in such situations. Home fans will probably boo to Johnson who moved from Nottingham to Tottenham, but I hope young lad will be able to cope emotions and have good game in his former home.
I will not lie after victory against Newcastle and that show of Son and Dejan I expect win in Nottingham. Result which I think will happen is 1:3 for Spurs, because our attack is simple to good for their defense. It's important to collect as many points as we can and tomorrow evening is good opportunity to get some.
