Nottingham Forest vs Tottenham – Premier League: Live score, team news and updates as Ange Postecoglou’s side look to move into top four in battle for Champions League football

The players have been put to the test as the stadium becomes quite full and now return to the tunnel for what will be the last time before kick-off.

Spurs have been prone to the odd surprise error this season, while Forest have shown they have the potential to cause a surprise. Kickoff is at 6 p.m.

A point in Manchester means Erik ten Hag’s side are now eight points behind Tottenham in the race for a place in next season’s Champions League.

It sounds like a lot of points, and it is a lot, but after today, Ange Postecoglou must prepare his team for a ridiculous schedule with Spurs facing Newcastle, Man City, Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool in their next five games.

If United can find some sort of consistency then Spurs could be catchable during that run.

The full-time whistle has just blown at Old Trafford, where Liverpool scored late to rescue a point. You can follow all the reactions below.

The Spurs captain scored his 15th goal of the season in the 2-1 win over Luton last time out and has been in excellent form this season.

Son leads the club’s scoring charts with three in his last five games, followed by Richarlison with 11 Premier League goals.

He has only scored once against Forest before and needs to put in a strong performance today if the hosts are to claim a victory over a struggling away team.

Arguments can be made for both teams, but you really feel that this is a more important game for Nottingham Forest than it is for Spurs. Both need points to help their relative causes, but Forest are locked in a five-team race to avoid relegation.

They are currently just outside the relegation zone on goal difference alone and a win today would put them three points clear.

Meanwhile, Spurs are within reach of the Champions League places and will go level on points with Aston Villa if they seal victory today.

It’s a different race to usual this season, although fifth place is likely to be enough to qualify for the Champions League this season.

Forest are understandably unchanged from the team that started their recent 3-1 win over Fulham.

Callum Hudson-Odoi opened the scoring on his last trip to the capital, will the former Chelsea player do it again today?

Ange Postecoglou names his team to face Forest with Timo Werner preferred on the wing over Dejan Kulusevski, who was sensational in the first leg earlier this season.

The visitors arrived and Nuno Espírito Santo smiled as he took his team off the bus.

I suspect he might have a different look on his face at full time if Spurs put in another dominant display against Forest.

A win for the hosts today would make it three consecutive wins against Nottingham Forest. Ange Postecoglou guided his team to a comfortable 2-0 win at the City Ground earlier in the season, and former boss Antonio Conte celebrated a 3-1 home victory over Forest last season.

Forest need three points today to maintain their place in the league, but recent history is not on their side.

Tottenham previously sent a statement confirming that today’s match would take place after a man was stabbed to death and found earlier Sunday morning.

The club announced that certain roads near the stadium have been closed while police carry out investigations in the area.

The locals have just equalized with a sensational goal from Bruno Fernandes.
