Tottenham vs Nottingham Forest LIVE: Premier League team news and updates

5 mins: Incredible start for the visitors!

Forest take a corner, it’s headed out to Anderson just outside the box and he smashes it goalward. It takes a hefty deflection off Bentancur and Vicario can’t keep it out.

4 mins: Milenkovic grapples with Richarlison with the ball nowhere near either of them, the Serbian just making his presence known early doors.

Vicario has to make an early save! Gibbs-White takes a touch and fires off a curling right-footed shot, with the keeper diving to his left to palm it away.

2 mins: Tottenham are on the front foot early on. Spence shows off some nice footwork against the club he impressed on loan for, pulling it back as the hosts press forward.

Tel wins the ball back immediately after conceding it in the Forest box and has an early attempt, but it’s a bit tame and deflected. Now Sarr whips in a cross but there’s too much on it. Good start.

The teams are out on the pitch, minutes to go…

“I keep saying to people, I’m loving every minute mate,” Ange Postecoglou tells Sky Sports when asked whether he still enjoys the job.

“I get there’s a lot of noise. I’ve probably filtered it so that only maybe 25 per cent of that gets through. That’s still annoying and not enjoyable, but it’s only 25 per cent.

“The rest of it I still love. I love working with these players and the challenge of overcoming the odds.”

“We know we have put ourselves in a good position going into the last six games of the season. What we can do is control what happens on the pitch,” Nottingham Forest’s Chris Wood tells Sky Sports.

“Nobody expected us to be here so why not go ahead and take it on with both hands? We have a great challenge ahead of us and that is something we are really up for.

“We just need to implement what we have done in the other 30 odd games of the season. Focus on showing our abilities and what we can control on the pitch.”
