Today's match is expected to be a tough challenge for Nottingham Forest, as Tottenham Hotspur have been in good form lately.
Spurs have not been in good form lately, they recently just went 5 games without a win, losing 4 and drawing 1, but they broke that terrible run in their last game against Newcastle as they came out with a comfortable 4-1 victory, i don't know if that victory would spark another good run for them, like the one they had in the beginning of the season, but we'll find out if they can beat Nottingham Forest and how things pan out for them from there.
Forest are in 16th position with 14 points, i don't understand why Steve Cooper's job should be on the line, they are not in the relegation zone, i know they are not very far away from it, but with the quality of players they have, what position does the hierarchy at the club expect them to be in. The club is stable with Steve in charge, and making any managerial change now would be insane imo.
Yes, Tottenham Hotspur did not achieve good results in the last 5 matches except when they played Newcastle last weekend, the same thing that Manchester City achieved in the domestic league, they also achieved unsatisfactory results in their last few matches and were only able to win when against Luton.
Even so, I am quite sure that sooner or later Tottenham will soon rise from their downturn and return to winning ways like at the start of the season and in this match Tottenham must win to catch up with the points left behind by the top of the standings because Tottenham are already quite far behind with a difference of 7 points. and of course it is not easy to catch points that are getting further away.
If you look at the opponent, Tottenham should be able to beat Nottingham Forest because Nottingham Forest is in a worse condition than Tottenham. But unfortunately this is an away match for Tottenham so this match cannot be predicted with certainty because Tottenham's away match is also not completely stable.
