One-Point Relegation Fight as Tottenham Host Nottingham Forest on Sunday

Team selection tightens with Jair Cunha out, a goalkeeper call pending.

Overview

  • Only one point separates Tottenham and Forest with eight league matches remaining, making Sunday’s result pivotal in the relegation fight.
  • Vitor Pereira confirmed centre-back Jair Cunha will miss the match, while long-term absentee Chris Wood is not yet ready though a late-season return remains possible.
  • The head coach must choose between Stefan Ortega and Matz Sels in goal after Ortega’s midweek return from injury.
  • Forest arrive boosted by a Europa League comeback and penalty shootout win over FC Midtjylland, yet their recent finishing has faltered, with one goal from 99 shots across their last five home games.
  • Spurs have shown signs of improvement under Igor Tudor with a draw against Liverpool and a 3-2 win over Atlético Madrid, but their league form remains fragile.
