Tottenham Hotspur will be keen to end a dismal Premier League winless run in 2026 when they meet Nottingham Forest at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on 22 March.


Current Form

Spurs fought back to hold Liverpool FC to a 1-1 draw on 15 March, but they are winless in their last 12 matches in the English top-flight.

Tottenham are also winless in their last seven home matches in the Premier League, having recorded two draws and five defeats at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Meanwhile, Forest were held to a 0-0 draw against Fulham on 15 March as they stretched their winless run to seven games in the league.

The Tricky Trees are also winless in their last three away matches in the Premier League, having recorded two consecutive defeats and one draw as the visitors.


Team News

Tottenham Hotspur currently have Cristian Romero, Joao Palhinha, Conor Gallagher, Yves Bissouma, Destiny Udogie, Wilson Odobert, Dejan Kulusevski, James Maddison, Mohammed Kudus, Rodrigo Bentancur, Ben Davies and Lucas Bergvall unavailable due to health or injury issues, with no players suspended.


Nottingham Forest, on the other hand, also don't have suspensions, but Stefan Ortega, Willy Boly, Nicola Savona, John Victor and Chris Wood are currently nursing injuries.

"Nice! Nice, some fresh air, some good things for the confidence of the players, everyone again around the club and especially the fans," Tottenham manager Igor Tudor said after his side's draw with Liverpool.

 

"Good team spirit, seeing the circumstances the team was in today, coming here to Anfield with 12 players, what we already know. So, this is something big. We stayed in the game, we believed.

 

"I felt that we could score the goal, the players also felt it, so, okay, it's nice."

Head-to-Head

Nottingham Forest thrashed Tottenham Hotspur 3-0 in their last meeting in the league, which was in December 2025 at the City Ground.

As a result, Forest are undefeated in their last three Premier League games against Spurs, having registered three victories.
