Tottenham Hotspur are back in action in the Premier League this weekend with a clash against Nottingham Forest, following their defeat to Newcastle last time out – and here’s how you can watch the match.
Back-to-back defeats in their opening Premier League games is definitely not the start Roberto De Zerbi would have envisioned his Tottenham side making this season.
But that is exactly what Spurs have managed after suffering defeats at the hands of Brentford in matchweek one and then another defeat to Newcastle United in the second matchweek.
Gameweek three is now on the horizon, allowing De Zerbi and his side a fresh opportunity to get their first win of the 2026-27 Premier League season.
Up next is Nottingham Forest, who themselves are yet to manage a victory this campaign after picking up a single point from their first two outings, with that point coming last weekend following their 2-2 draw with Liverpool.
Tottenham and Forest will now be eager to get three points on the board when they face each other this weekend.

Spurs team news vs Nottingham Forest
Tottenham still have a few injuries to contend with, but their list is significantly smaller compared to the start of the season. Roberto De Zerbi issued a positive update on Friday.
Savio, who missed out against Newcastle United because of a muscle problem, is back this weekend.
Mohammed Kudus also made a return last time out against Newcastle United, further bolstering De Zerbi’s options up front.
James Maddison remains a doubt following the shoulder injury he picked up in Spurs’ opener against Brentford, but he has returned to first-team training.
Dejan Kulusevski is also not too far from a return after having rejoined first-team training. That leaves Spurs with Xavi Simons and Wilson Odobert as their long-term absentees.
As for Forest, Ibrahim Sangare is a doubt, while Nicolo Savona is set to miss out entirely.
Nottingham Forest vs Tottenham score prediction
This is certainly a big game for Tottenham, who must now begin to get points on the board if they are to avoid another relegation scrap for the third season running.
With the transfer window shut, attention is set to turn fully to the Premier League for Spurs, and the expectation is for the latest recruits to improve performances and start getting points on the board.
Of course, time is needed for the players to get used to each other, but in the Premier League, time is of the essence. Forest will be no pushover, and their draw against Liverpool last time out shows they are capable of getting a result this weekend.
