It’s another battle of new managers as 14th-place Nottingham Forest host bottom-placed Tottenham for matchday 3 of the Premier League! It hasn’t been a particularly pleasant start for either side, although the hosts will certainly be the more bullish of the two teams following last weekend's results.
Forest fans will hope that the spirited performance they showed against Liverpool at Anfield is a sign of things to come. They’ll have to address a worrying record at the City Ground however, where the Tricky Trees have managed just a single win in their last 12 league fixtures! Oliver Glasner can also take encouragement from the fact that Nottingham Forest have won their last four consecutive meetings with Tottenham.
His opposite number Roberto De Zerbi will now be tasked with steering Tottenham clear of three consecutive defeats to start a Premier League season, something that hasn’t happened for Spurs since 1979. The Lilywhites are dealing with a major squad overhaul but haven’t skimped on paying for attacking talent. This should be an attacking match and our prediction is backing goals!

Nottingham Forest - Tottenham: Form Analysis
Nottingham Forest suffered a frustrating start to the 2026-27 season with a pair of losses to Leeds. The first was a 1-0 home defeat in the EPL opener, a match in which Forest failed to generate much of anything, and the second was a 2-0 home loss in the EFL Cup.
The Reds would bounce back in a positive fashion away against Liverpool last weekend, though. Gibbs-White was the star of the show, setting up Dan Ndoye for the first and then converting from the penalty spot for the second in a 2-2 draw.
Tottenham rank 19th in the league in xG difference (-4.2), while Forest rank seventh (+0.7).
As for Tottenham, they faced off against a red-hot Brentford side in their league opener and walked away with a demoralising 3-0 away loss. They got back to winning ways with a 5-1 home victory over Championship side Charlton in the EFL Cup after that.
However, upon returning to league action last weekend, Spurs faced another bad defeat as they fell 2-0 to Newcastle at their own ground. Tottenham are not only searching for their first points of the league season, but their first goal as well.

Nottingham Forest & Tottenham Squad Analysis
Oliver Glasner will be unable to call upon two players for the visit of Tottenham on Saturday. Midfielder Ibrahim Sangare misses out with a calf strain while right back Nicolo Savona remains out with a knee injury.
Glasner could be tempted to give Daniel Muñoz his Forest debut here at right wing back. Muñoz was crucial for Crystal Palace and was one of the standout performers in Glasner's three-at-the-back formation, racking up 11 goals and 15 assists in 109 appearances for the club.
Morgan Gibbs-White is the main dangerman for Nottingham Forest.
The 26-year-old experienced a breakout season last year, racking up 15 goals and four assists in the EPL. Record signing Liam Delap will be hoping for the start here after coming in off the bench last weekend.
For Tottenham, they’ve undergone a massive makeover as they looked to refresh all aspects of the team. The likes of Tonali, Van Hecke, Senesi, Savio, Marmoush and Fernandes were brought in following a massive outlay of over £300 million.
Roberto De Zerbi is dealing with a fair share of injuries as well with Maddison, Simons, Odobert, Kulusevski among the players missing out. Former Man City player Savio could also miss out here with muscle cramps.

Our Nottingham Forest vs Tottenham Prediction
We should be in for an entertaining match at the City Ground on Saturday as Nottingham Forest and Tottenham face off. Forest really impressed against Liverpool last weekend, and the feeling is that they’ll be able to carry that momentum over here, despite some real struggles at home dating back to last season.
While things may seem bad at the moment, Tottenham should slowly get better and better as they bed in their new signings. With some more attacking talent now, they should be able to get a goal. Our Nottingham Forest vs Tottenham prediction: BTTS.
Nottingham Forest vs Tottenham Alternative Predictions
Morgan Gibbs-White to score or assist
Gibbs-White has been involved in 17 goal involvements in the Premier League in 2026, a number that is second only to Bruno Fernandes’ 22. He’s coming off a goal and an assist performance against Liverpool and now faces a Spurs defence that has conceded five goals in two league fixtures.
Nottingham Forest wins
The hosts have won their last four on the trot against Tottenham, including a pair of 3-0 victories last season. The visitors come into this match reeling after two poor performances in the league in which they have conceded five and failed to score a single goal.
