Tottenham Hotspur vs Nottingham Forest Preview

Tottenham Hotspur vs Nottingham Forest

Competition – English Premier League

Stadium: Tottenham Hotspur Stadium

Date: 22nd March 2026

Kick-off time – 14:15 GMT

Tottenham Hotspur host Nottingham Forest at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday afternoon in a Premier League fixture that brings two sides together who have both had bittersweet weeks in European competition.

Spurs head into this one having won their most recent outing — a 3-2 home victory over Atlético Madrid in the Champions League second leg on March 18. Despite the win, they were eliminated on aggregate having lost 5-2 in the first leg, so any feel-good factor is tempered. Prior to that, they drew 1-1 away at Liverpool in the league on March 15. Earlier in this run, the 5-2 defeat away at Atlético, a 3-1 home defeat to Crystal Palace, and a 2-1 defeat away at Fulham complete a sequence of one win, one draw and three losses — a side that has been deeply inconsistent in the league. With 40 goals scored, a goal difference of -7 and 47 conceded, Tottenham’s season-long defensive record tells the real story of a campaign that has offered far more in attack than in defensive solidity.

Nottingham Forest travel to north London having progressed in Europe with a win on the night and a win in penalties after a 2:2 draw on aggregate. Their most recent result was a 2-1 win away at FC Midtjylland in the Europa League second leg on March 19, a result that was enough to overturn the 1-0 first-leg deficit. Prior to that, they drew 0-0 at home to Fulham in the league on March 15. Earlier in this run, the 1-0 home defeat to Midtjylland in the Europa League, a 2-2 draw away at Manchester City, and a 2-1 defeat away at Brighton & Hove Albion make for a disjointed stretch of form. Forest have scored just 28 goals this season with a goal difference of -15 and 43 conceded — a side that has struggled to find the net consistently and whose league position reflects that.

The head-to-head record in this fixture favours Nottingham Forest, who have won three of the last five meetings, with Spurs claiming two wins and no draws. Most recently, Forest won 3-0 at home in December 2025. Spurs won 3-1 at home in April 2024 and 2-0 away at Forest in December 2023 — though Forest won both the other meetings in between.
