Nottingham Forest vs Tottenham: Premier League - LIVE!
Today, Spurs have a tough challenge ahead as they visit their ex-manager Nuno Espirito Santo and his impressive Forest team on a busy day of Premier League matches. Before the holiday season, Ange Postecoglou's squad suffered a 6-3 loss to Liverpool, raising further doubts about their playing style. They've now lost three out of their last four matches and currently sit in 11th place in the league.
Forest has emerged as one of the unexpected success stories of the season. Currently on track for a top-four finish, they have thrived under Nuno, who had a brief stint as manager at Spurs.
Another loss for Spurs would only heighten the pressure on Postecoglou. Although his team has the potential to outplay any opponent on their best days, their inconsistency makes it hard to predict their performance, which doesn't seem like a sustainable approach.
