After four consecutive defeats, Tottenham Hotspur have performed well in their last two outings across all competitions ahead of the crucial relegation six-pointer vs Nottingham Forest at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday.
They clinched a hard-fought 1-1 draw against Liverpool last weekend before beating Atletico Madrid 3-2 in the UEFA Champions League earlier this week. It will be interesting to see if they can build on those performances and finish the season strongly.
They are 16th in the league table, and they are without a win in the last six Premier League matches. A club of their stature should be doing a lot better, and it remains to be seen whether they can pick up a win here.
Nottingham Forest are 17th in the league table, and they are fighting for survival. They are without a win in the last six Premier League matches as well. It will be interesting to see if they can bounce back strongly.

Tottenham Hotspur will shape up in a 4-2-3-1 formation, with Antonin Kinsky in goal.
Pedro Porro and Djed Spence will start as the full-backs. They will look to help out defensively and contribute in the final third as well. Meanwhile, Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven will start at the heart of the defence.

The Netherlands International is our key player to watch out for. He has impressed for Tottenham in the last few outings, and he would love to make his Mark here. He will look to open up the Nottingham Forest defence and get on the score sheet as well. The visitors will look to shut out the opposition attack, and Tottenham will need Simons’ creativity and technical ability to break them down. It remains to be seen whether the Dutch International can help his team pick up all three points here.
Both teams will be desperate for a victory here, and this is likely to be a cracking contest. They are fighting for survival in the Premier League, and they need to pick up a point here. Tottenham will be full of confidence after the last two games, and they will look to pick up a win here. They have shown great improvement in the last two outings, and they should be able to get the job done at home. Nottingham Forest will put up a fight here, but they are likely to come up short. The London club will look to build on their recent performances and they should come out on top..
