Tottenham might have found a bit of confidence after their commendable performance in the second leg against Atletico Madrid on Wednesday night. However, with relegation fears looming, they urgently need a win when they face fellow strugglers Nottingham Forest this Sunday lunchtime in North London.
Igor Tudor celebrated his first victory as interim head coach for Spurs; still, they exited the Champions League on aggregate. He will be eager for his team to carry that momentum into their crucial match against Forest, a team they lead by just a single point in the standings, and whose players will have had 24 hours less rest after their Europa League trip to Midtjylland on Thursday evening.

Vitor Pereira is looking for his first league win as the fourth manager for Forest this season. The team hasn’t secured three points in any of their last eight matches, though they’ve shown resilience with draws against Manchester City and Fulham in their last two outings.
With West Ham playing away against Aston Villa at the same time, both teams face the pressure of potentially gaining a buffer to the relegation zone or finding themselves deep in trouble with only seven matches left to play.
Here’s all the key information.
