Nottingham FORM
Tottenham FORM
Key Factors
Tottenham Hotspur's strong away form in the current 2025/26 season, contrasting with their average overall league performance.
Nottingham Forest's poor overall and home form in the 2025/26 Premier League season, despite a strong previous campaign.
Significant injury concerns for both teams, with Tottenham particularly affected in creative midfield roles (Maddison, Kulusevski) and defense (Udogie, Drăgușin). Nottingham Forest also has key players either out or just returning across all lines (Aina, Awoniyi, Wood, Douglas Luiz).
Nottingham Forest's surprising recent head-to-head advantage over Tottenham, having won both Premier League fixtures in the 2024/25 season.
Injuries & Absentees
Nottingham Forest faces several notable absences: defender Ola Aina is out until January 2026 with a hamstring injury, goalkeeper Angus Gunn is expected mid-to-late December but uncertain due to a knee injury. Midfielder Douglas Luiz and strikers Taiwo Awoniyi and Chris Wood are all nearing returns (late December), but might not be fully match fit for this game. Ryan Yates (hamstring) is out until early January 2026. Murillo (hamstring/virus) and Morgan Gibbs-White (knock) are optimistic for availability. Tottenham Hotspur is heavily impacted, especially in midfield and defense. James Maddison (cruciate ligament injury) is a long-term absentee, expected back May 2026. Dejan Kulusevski (knee injury), Radu Drăgușin (cruciate ligament injury), Destiny Udogie (hamstring), Dominic Solanke (ankle), Kota Takai (foot), and Yves Bissouma (ankle/knock) are all expected back in late December 2025 or January 2026. Kolo Muani (broken jaw) is out until early January 2026. However, Brennan Johnson, a key forward, is expected to be available for this fixture after training. Ben Davies is also expected back mid-December.
