Tottenham Hotspur will entertain Nottingham Forest at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday afternoon as they look to secure a positive result at home in the Premier League. Spurs were held to a frustrating 0-0 draw by AC Milan in midweek, so they will be desperate to get back to winning ways this weekend.
Antonio Conte will set his side up in a 3-4-2-1 formation and could make some changes to his starting XI for this game. Richarlison is expected to play from the start while Heung-min Son drops to the bench.
3-4-2-1 Tottenham Hotspur Predicted Lineup To Face Nottingham
Defence
Fraser Forster will continue to feature in goal for the North London outfit after securing a clean sheet in his last appearance. Conte could name a back three of Clement Lenglet, Eric Dier and Cristian Romero as they try to keep things tidy at the back during the 90 minutes.
Davinson Sanchez will offer cover for the centre-back positions on the bench. However, Hugo Lloris will be sidelined for this game due to injury.
Midfield
Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and Oliver Skipp will function as the holding midfielders as they try to establish their superiority over the opposition at the centre of the park.
Ben Davies could fill in as a left-sided wide player while Emerson Royal hopes to catch the eye on the other side as the right wing-back.
Dejan Kulusevski and Richarlison will play as the free-flowing, attacking midfielders as they focus on creating some decent chances for Tottenham on the attacking end of the field. Richarlison has to find a way to cause a few problems for the Nottingham centre-backs this Saturday afternoon.
Pape Matar Sarr, Arnaut Danjuma and Ivan Perisic will be named on the bench and might come on to influence the game in the second half if Conte opts to call upon their services.
Rodrigo Bentancur, Yves Bissouma and Ryan Sessegnon will miss this Premier League because of injuries.
Attack
Harry Kane will spearhead the North London club’s attack on his own up top. The English striker would be eager to get his name on the scoresheet versus Nottingham after shooting blanks on his last outing at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Heung-min Son will be rested on the bench as he waits for his chance to make an impact in the latter stages of the contest if Spurs are in need of a goal by then.
