Nottingham Forest host fifth placed Tottenham on Friday evening. Forest are 16th in the table but five points above the relegation zone. Current form for Forest is not good with just one point earned from their last five league fixtures. The poor run has put pressure on their coach Steve Cooper and the Christmas period is going to be a vital time not just for the club but him too. A form guide for the last ten Forest games has them in the bottom three with only seven points earned. 12 goals had been conceded in four successive league losses before a 1-1 draw at Wolverhampton Wanderers last weekend. Home form saved the Reds last season but it's not going quite so well this time around. Only one of their last six home league fixtures has been won, a 2-0 victory over Aston Villa but they've lost the two that have followed.

Tottenham's season got off to a great start but then they lost three successive league games. Spurs have gradually got back on track and last weekend beat Newcastle United 4-1 at home. They can go level on points with fourth placed Manchester City if winning at the City Ground but have an inferior goal difference. Away league form has produced four wins, three draws and just one defeat at Wolves. The Lilywhites still have injury problems but will prove to be a bit of a handful for their opponents on Friday. Forest have already conceded 28 league goals and we predict a Tottenham away victory on Friday.
