Friday night’s game at the City Ground features Nottingham Forest facing Tottenham Hotspur under the lights, a match carrying significant weight for both teams but for different reasons.
Tottenham’s recent performance has slightly declined, and securing three points is crucial for them to stay in the top five, which is beginning to distance itself from the teams below.
Steve Cooper’s Forest team understands that only a victory will prevent them from being overtaken by Everton, provided Everton beats Burnley over the weekend. If that precise situation unfolds, Forest would find themselves just above the relegation zone, likely signaling trouble for Cooper’s position at the club.
Brennan Johnson comes back to the club to confront a formidable Tottenham lineup, eager to return to North London with a complete victory.
