A winless Tottenham Hotspur side travel to Nottingham Forest on Saturday, hoping to pick up their first points of the Premier League season, but Forest will be looking for the same.£400m spent in the transfer market surely has not yielded the results one would associate with that level of investment, with Tottenham Hotspur yet to win a Premier League game in the 2026/27 season.A 3-0 defeat to Brentford on the opening weekend was followed by a much-improved performance the following weekend at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, but Tottenham still could not avoid defeat, losing 2-0 to Newcastle United.Roberto De Zerbi has admitted that his new-look Tottenham team still have not connected particularly well, as was evident on the pitch. Another week on the training ground, though, should hopefully be enough for the players to start understanding each other a little better.It is a similar story for Tottenham’s fellow relegation survivors from last season, Nottingham Forest, who are also winless in their new Premier League campaign under new head coach Oliver Glasner.After suffering a late 1-0 defeat to Leeds United on the opening weekend, Forest were held to a late 2-2 draw by Liverpool at Anfield last time out. Glasner’s men were arguably the better side for large periods and will feel they deserved to leave Merseyside with all three points.Credit: @thefrederikkejensen / InstagramWhat time does Nottingham Forest vs Tottenham kick off?Location: Nottinghamshire, EnglandStadium: The City GroundDate: Saturday, 5 August 2026Kick-off time: 3pm BSTReferee: Craig PawsonVAR: Peter BankesTottenham team newsTottenham’s £85m summer addition Savio missed the Newcastle United game through muscle fatigue, but the winger is now ready to make his Premier League debut for the club on Saturday.James Maddison remains a doubt after fracturing his shoulder two weeks ago, although De Zerbi confirmed that ‘other players are all good’.The head coach also revealed that Spurs’ latest signing Mykhaylo Mudryk ‘needs time to be able to start’, but the winger should still be ready to play some part in the game.Dejan Kulusevski finally returned to full training towards the end of last month after more than a year on the sidelines and could make the matchday squad, although we doubt he will feature.Xavi Simons and Wilson Odobert are dealing with long-term injuries and are the only confirmed absentees.Nottingham Forest team newsNew signing Daniel Munoz is ready and eligible to make his Nottingham Forest debut and could be the player tasked with causing Spurs problems down the right.Forest’s only confirmed absentee is Nicolo Savona, who is dealing with a knee injury, while Ibrahima Sangare’s involvement remains a doubt after he missed the trip to Anfield.Predicted Tottenham line-upKinsky; Porro, Van Hecke, Van de Ven, Robertson; Tonali, Fernandes, Bentancur; Kudus, Marmoush, Savio.There could well be a lot of changes to this XI. Destiny Udogie could start instead of Andy Robertson at left-back, with that one looking like a 50-50 call.£100m summer addition Sandro Tonali has endured a poor start to the Premier League campaign and could be dropped, with Savio or Mohammed Kudus shifting into the No.10 role. That would allow Mathys Tel to start on the left.Up front, Omar Marmoush had a strong debut against Newcastle last weekend, but Dominic Solanke could be given a chance here. There is, however, no obvious reason for a change.Our Spurs score predictionNottingham Forest have won each of their last four meetings with Tottenham, although the head-to-head record between these two clubs arguably tells us very little.Across the last three meetings, both sides have had three different managers in the dugout, while this weekend will once again see both clubs led by different head coaches. Quite the record.Glasner has already taken a dig at De Zerbi’s Tottenham, claiming it is easier to prepare against his side because of the ‘very obvious patterns’ in their play. De Zerbi, though, responded with little more than a wry smile when those comments were put to him.Worth noting, the two managers have never met before, so this will be one to watch.Keep an eye on Savio, who is expected to make his first Premier League start after impressing on his Tottenham debut against Charlton Athletic in the Carabao Cup, scoring one and assisting another. We are backing the Brazilian to get on the scoresheet once again.Predicted score: Nottingham Forest 0-2 Tottenham HotspurREAD MORE: Tottenham’s recent record vs Nottingham Forest should give Spurs fans nightmares – Spurs WebThe post Nottingham Forest vs Tottenham Hotspur: Premier League preview and prediction appeared first on Spurs Web.
