Nottingham Forest vs Tottenham Hotspurs: Premier League Match Preview, Predicted Line-ups and Dream11 Predictions

Nottingham Forest vs Tottenham Hotspurs is the upcoming match in the Premier League on Sunday at Nottingham, England.

Nottingham Forest vs Tottenham Hotspurs: Match Preview:

What's perhaps most promising for Spurs is the fact they are yet to fully convince across a whole game. Surely, performances can only improve as new signings bed in, but to sit unbeaten and having only dropped two points (away at Chelsea no less) is a respectable return.

A trip to the City Ground, however, will not be easy.

Forest are somewhat of an unknown quantity this season following such a busy summer on the transfer front, though proved they can harness the energy of a home support by beating West Ham earlier this month.

Date, kick-off time and venue

The Premier League is scheduled for a 9:30pm kick-off time on Sunday August 28th, 2022. The City Ground in Nottingham will host.

Team News:

Nottingham Forest:

Cooper made 11 changes for his side's trip to Grimsby Town in the EFL Cup on Tuesday, showcasing Forest's newly-found strength in depth.

Sam Surridge scored twice in the 3-0 victory but the former Swansea City boss is likely to stick with Taiwo Awoniyi as the team's focal point, but Morgan Gibbs-White could make his first start for the club having impressed from the bench at Goodison Park.

Remo Freuler and Emmanuel Dennis both made their debuts against Grimsby but they may have to be patient before starting league games following their moves from Atalanta and Watford respectively, while Moussa Niakhate and Omar Richards remain sidelined through injury.

Tottenham Hotspurs:

Tottenham, meanwhile, have benefitted from a week off, but Cristian Romero will not feature despite his adductor injury not being as serious as first feared.

The Argentina defender missed last week's win against Wolves, and Conte clearly feels it is too early in the season to be risking such a key player.

Likewise, Oliver Skipp is expected to be given time to recover from a hairline fracture in his heel, while Lucas Moura and Bryan Gil may not make the trip after missing Friday's training session with minor knocks, so it could be the same starting XI which marginally dispatched Wolves.

Predicted Line-ups:

Nottingham Forest: Henderson; Worrall, Cook, McKenna; Williams, Mangala, O'Brien, Toffolo; Gibbs-White; Johnson, Awoniyi

Tottenham Hotspur: Lloris; Sanchez, Dier, Davies; Emerson, Hojbjerg, Bentancur, Perisic; Kulusevski, Son; Kane
