Tottenham Hotspur host Nottingham Forest at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday in a match between two clubs positioned in the lower reaches of the Premier League table. Both teams face the threat of relegation following poor runs of form, according to Sky Sports. Spurs occupy 17th place in the standings while Forest sit in 18th position, per the Premier League.
Tottenham have struggled for consistency throughout the campaign and remain just one point above the bottom three. Nottingham Forest enter the fixture following a series of defeats that has left the club in the relegation zone with eight matches remaining in the season. The visitors have not won an away league game since January, per data from Opta.
Team news indicates that Tottenham will be without several key defenders due to ongoing injury problems. Forest manager Nuno Espírito Santo returns to his former club needing a victory to move out of the bottom three. This fixture marks the first time both clubs have faced a relegation battle in the same season, according to The Guardian.
