The Tottenham Hotspur starting XI to face Nottingham Forest in the Premier League this evening has been announced.
Attention turns back to the Premier League following Tottenham’s 1-0 win against Eintracht Frankfurt in the Europa League.
Dominic Solanke’s penalty was enough to secure a 2-1 aggregate victory and means that Tottenham will play FK Bodø/Glimt in the Europa League semi-final, where they will be hoping to book their place in the final.
With the Europa League being the club’s priority due to their lowly sixteenth position in the Premier League table, it is hardly surprising that Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou has decided to make some changes to his starting eleven to face Forest.
Forest under former Spurs boss Nuno Espirito Santo are pushing for Champions League qualification and will be looking to move back above Chelsea in fifth place with a win over Tottenham.
What is the Tottenham side to play against Nottingham Forest?
Postecoglou admitted ahead of the match at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium of his plan for Richarlison to feature in the upcoming fixtures.
Spurs captain Heung-min Son remains out with foot injury, while James Maddison was a doubt after going off before half-time on Thursday. Radu Dragusin remains sidelined with a knee injury.
This is who takes to the field in Tottenham this evening:
Guglielmo Vicario; Pedro Porro, Cristian Romero, Micky Van de Ven, Djed Spence; Rodrigo Bentancur, Pape Sarr, Dejan Kulusevski; Wilson Odobert, Richarlison, Mathys Tel.
The Nottingham Forest XI is as follows: Sels, Murillo, Williams, Anderson, Gibbs-White, Wood, Toffolo, Dominguez, Elango, Danilo, Milenkovic.
Peter Bankes is the referee, assisted by Marc Perry and Nick Greenhalgh. John Brooks is on VAR.
