The official Tottenham Hotspur starting line-up for the Premier League match against Nottingham Forest has been announced.
Tottenham Hotspur are yet to taste league victory this season after suffering defeats in their opening two matches in the Premier League.
Last time out, it was Newcastle United who took three points off the Lilywhites after beating Roberto De Zerbi’s men 2-0 at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Spurs’ run of five goals conceded and no goals scored leaves them at the bottom of the Premier League table, a spot De Zerbi will hope his side can move out of as Tottenham look to avoid another relegation scrap after their struggles last season.
Tottenham confirmed XI to face Nottingham Forest
Today, attention is back on the Premier League as Spurs travel to the City Ground Stadium to take on Nottingham Forest.
The Tricky Trees find themselves in 15th spot after managing one point from their opening two matches, with that single point coming from their draw against Liverpool at Anfield last weekend.
Forest have an impressive record over Spurs, having won four of their last five meetings against the Lilywhites.
De Zerbi has a big task on his hands, and he has now named his Tottenham starting XI to take on Oliver Glasner’s side this afternoon.
New signing Savio is back in the squad for his Spurs Premier League debut after missing out last weekend due to a muscle problem, while Dominic Solanke is on the bench.
Omar Marmoush leads the attack while Destiny Udogie starts at left back. De Zerbi also has a very strong bench, with several players back fit, but James Maddison once again misses out.
Here is the Spurs squad set to take to the pitch at the City Ground.
Nottingham Forest XI: Sels; Jair Cunha, Milenkovic, Murillo; Aina, McAtee, Schlager, Williams; Gibbs-White, Ndoye; Delap.
Tottenham XI: Kinsky; Porro, Van Hecke, Van de Ven, Udogie; Tonali, Bentancur; Savio, Gallagher, Tel; Marmoush.
Subs: Dubravka, Robertson, Senesi, Gray, Bergvall, Fernandes, Mudryk, Kudus, Solanke.
Spurs must seize their moment against Nottingham Forest
The season is set to begin properly for Tottenham here, with the distractions of the transfer window now behind the club.
It was a fantastic summer of activity for the Lilywhites, who were able to secure the signings of ten players while also moving on those who wanted out.
With De Zerbi now having a squad in his own mould, the onus is on the Italian and his players to start getting points on the board.
For those in the UK wondering how to watch Nottingham Forest versus Tottenham, the match is not live on TV due to blackout rules, meaning fans will have to get to the stadium to see the game live.
