Forest Host Spurs at City Ground as Tottenham Hunt First Premier League Goal
The match on Saturday could deepen pressure on Roberto De Zerbi after a £300m summer overhaul and two goalless league defeats while both teams may field late transfer signings.
Overview
- The fixture kicks off at the City Ground at 15:00 BST on Saturday and both clubs enter the game still searching for a first league win this season.
- Tottenham have lost their opening two Premier League matches without scoring and face rising scrutiny after a summer spending run reported at more than £300 million.
- Nottingham Forest have one point after a 2-2 draw at Liverpool and boss Oliver Glasner confirmed new signing Daniel Munoz is available to play though he is not yet fully match fit.
- Both sides reinforced late in the transfer window with Spurs registering Mykhailo Mudryk on loan and Tosin Adarabioyo permanently, while Forest added Liam Delap who has shown positive impact from the bench.
- Opta gives Forest a narrow edge in win probability and Forest have beaten Spurs in each of their last four league meetings, making Tottenham’s need for a positive result both tactical and reputational.
