Nottingham Forest vs Tottenham Hotspur

Two clubs under new management collide at the City Ground, both needing a lift. Nottingham Forest sit 15th after a rocky start under Oliver Glasner, while Tottenham are down in 19th following a rough opening weekend. Early as it is, three points would ease pressure on either bench. Forest have dropped back-to-back games to Leeds United, in the league and League Cup, and captain Morgan Gibbs-White is nursing a knee injury from that defeat. Spurs are still finding their identity under Roberto De Zerbi after a chastening 3-0 loss at Brentford, with new arrival Sávio among a host of summer signings yet to click. The head-to-head offers no hints: their last ten meetings are split five wins apiece, with 14 goals scored by each side. Expect a tight, cagey contest between two sides still searching for form. Our prediction: 1-1
