Antonio Conte is expected to utilise the 3-4-3 formation as he looks to continue a fourth consecutive match into the campaign being undefeated.
Tottenham Hotspur 3-4-3 Predicted Lineup Vs Nottingham Forest
Defence
Hugo Lloris will operate in between the sticks for the Lilywhites as the French shot-stopper would hope to put up a strong performance and secure another clean sheet this weekend. Davinson Sanchez will form the centre-half partnership with Eric Dier and Ben Davies at the heart of Spurs’ backline as Cristian Romero takes to the treatment room.
Ivan Perisic could be given the nod over Ryan Sessegnon on the left wing-back, whereas Emerson Royal will fill in on the other flank as the right wing-back. The full-backs will be expected to stretch the opposition backline creating opportunities from the wide areas.
Midfield
Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg might start in the holding midfield position and could be assigned more of a defensive role to shield the back three.
Rodrigo Bentancur will slot into the central midfield role looking to distribute possession efficiently in the centre of the park.
Attack
Harry Kane will lead the line for Tottenham this weekend as the England international will hope to find the back of the net and put his name on the scoresheet against the opposition.
Son Heung-Min and Dejan Kulusevki would take up the wing positions looking to create some clear-cut goal-scoring chances in front of the goal.
Richarlison and Lucas Moura could come off the bench in the second half, looking to create an impact if required.
