Tottenham Hotspur are back in Premier League action this evening as they host Nottingham Forest.

Ange Postecoglou’s men won 2-0 away at Forest in December and would love a repeat performance today.

Postecoglou has gone with Guglielmo Vicario in goal once again with a familiar back four ahead of him.

Pedro Porro, Cristian Romero, Micky van de Ven and Destiny Udogie all start from right to left.

Yves Bissouma keeps his place despite criticism over his recent displays but he is joined in midfield by Pape Matar Sarr.

The Senegal talent replaces Rodrigo Bentancur in the only change from the 1-1 draw at West Ham United.

That means that Son Heung-min leads the line with support from Timo Werner and former Forest ace Brennan Johnson out wide.

Richarlison isn’t involved on the bench tonight and is replaced by Dane Scarlett.

Nottingham Forest produced a superb result to beat Fulham 3-1 in midweek and they unsurprisingly keep the same starting XI.

Matz Sels starts in goal having impressed since his January arrival with Neco Williams, Andrew Omobamidele, Murillo and Ola Aina across the defence.

Danilo and Ryan Yates start in midfield with Anthony Elanga, Morgan Gibbs-White and Callum Hudson-Odoi supporting Chris Wood in attack.

There is only one change to the Forest bench tonight with striker Rodrigo Ribeiro replacing Cheikhou Kouyate.
