Forest, away it is, and we’re the 430pm kick-off. The bookies have Tottenham and heavy favourites, but for me, as much as winning it would be nice if we were less painful to watch.
Those suffering from José Mourinho Derangement Syndrome only appear when the great man himself open to a sucker-punch, yet Antonio Conte’s football at Spurs has been indistinguishable from that of the Portuguese.
With Forest netting in each of their last 11 consecutive home league games, we could be in for a goal fest, especially if one factor in the absence of our best centre-back in Cristian Romero.
Conte dropped Ryan Sessegnon against Wolves, and I’d be delighted to see the boy on the bench again later this afternoon. Ivan Perišić is a far superior player and as fit as a fiddle. We want more!
As far as predictions go, I expect Spurs to win this, perhaps by two clear goals, so it’s 1-3 from me. What do you think the result at the City Ground will be?
