Nottingham Forest hosts Tottenham Hotspur at the City Ground on Sunday, looking for crucial points to distance themselves from the relegation zone.
Currently in 17th place, the pressure is on after a significant loss to Everton last week. Still, Forest can draw confidence from their recent performances against Spurs, having won both league matches last season.
Their chances will rely on scoring, as they have gone unbeaten in their last 11 league games when they find the net.
Manager Sean Dyche is waiting for an update on goalkeeper Matz Sels, who may miss the game due to a groin injury, which puts Carlos Miguel on standby. In defense, Murillo has returned and could start alongside Nikola Milenković.
Midfield sees the return of Oleksandr Zinchenko and Douglas Luiz, while Elliot Anderson and Morgan Gibbs-White are likely to be in the starting lineup. Ryan Yates is sidelined with a thigh injury along with several other absentees. Igor Jesus is expected to be the main striker.
Nottingham Forest predicted XI: Sels; Savona, Milenković, Murillo, Williams; Sangaré, Anderson; Hutchinson, Gibbs-White, Ndoye; Jesus
The match is set for Sunday, 14 December 2025, at the City Ground, kicking off at 2:00 pm GMT.
Viewers in the UK can watch the match live on Sky Sports Premier League and Sky Sports Main Event, with coverage starting at 1:00 pm GMT.
