Latest team news for Nottingham vs Tottenham
Tottenham entered matchday 16 with a host of familiar absences including Dejan Kulusevski (knee), James Maddison (knee), Destiny Udogie (thigh), Dominic Solanke (ankle), and Yves Bissouma due to disciplinary suspension and injury.
Kota Takai (thigh) and Radu Dragusin (anterior cruciate ligament rupture) are still unavailable this season, but both have participated in closed-door friendlies and are not entirely ruled out for Sunday's away game.
Brennan Johnson is in a similar situation after missing the win against Slavia Prague due to a minor injury, although Randal Kolo Muani is likely to remain the preferred option from the bench.
For Nottingham Forest, the disappointment was compounded after their defeat to Everton when their long-time captain Ryan Yates suffered a thigh injury, ruling the midfielder out for an extended period.
Yates joins the injury list alongside Ola Aina (thigh), Chris Wood (knee), and Angus Gunn (knee). Meanwhile, Taiwo Awoniyi (confirmed) and first-choice goalkeeper Matz Sels (groin) could return to the squad.
If fit, Sels will be among the many potential substitutions, alongside sought-after names like Elliot Anderson and Morgan Gibbs-White, who will face Spurs for the first time since the summer transfer saga.

Latest football match prediction: Nottingham vs Tottenham
From a disastrous November to a more vibrant December, Spurs fans can perhaps finally feel a bit of the festive spirit as Thomas Frank aims to help the Europa League champions secure their third consecutive win in all competitions and extend their unbeaten run to four matches.
After ending last month with a forgettable run of three consecutive defeats, Tottenham have shown signs of improvement with two wins and a draw in their last three matches, earning a point against Newcastle United before consecutively beating Brentford and Slavia Prague.
Tottenham's home ground has historically been a source of disappointment, but last weekend's 2-0 victory over Brentford helped Spurs close the gap on fifth-placed Chelsea to just three points, although they remain in the bottom half of the Premier League table.
Frank is now aiming for his first three-game winning streak as Tottenham manager, but Spurs' away form is no longer as impressive as before, with three losses and one draw in their last four away games.
Nevertheless, their 15 away goals in the Premier League this season are the highest in the league, level with their city rivals Chelsea. Spurs have also scored at least two goals in six of their seven away games in the top flight in the 2025-26 season, with the exception of the humiliating North London derby defeat against Arsenal.
Tottenham have earned a total of 14 points away from home, double the number Nottingham Forest have earned at home this season. After the turmoil under Nuno Espirito Santo and the difficult period with Postecoglou, Sean Dyche has helped the team regain stability, even exceeding expectations.
In his first 11 games in charge, the former Burnley and Everton manager secured six wins, two draws, and only three defeats, demonstrating he has found a cultural fit both at City Ground and in the Europa League, where Forest earned 10 points in their last 12 possible matches.
The hard-fought victory against Utrecht last Thursday was a much-needed morale boost after their 0-3 defeat to Everton in the Premier League, where the 17th-placed team is only two points above West Ham United in the relegation zone.
Although Forest have conceded in every home game this season, that might not be too worrying on Sunday if they score. Forest are unbeaten in their last 11 Premier League games where they have scored.
Furthermore, Tottenham have never won a Premier League match at City Ground after conceding a goal. Notably, Nuno Espirito Santo led Forest to victory over Spurs in both legs of the 2024-25 season, including a 1-0 home win on Boxing Day.
