Team News: Nottingham Forest v Spurs – Richarlison starts
Spurs head coach Ange Postecoglou has named his side which will take to the field in this evening’s Premier League clash against Nottingham Forest at the City Ground.
Tottenham have won just three of their twelve Premier League fixtures played on a Friday, including one this season at Crystal Palace, drawing four and losing five. Their last visit to the stadium was one to forget when they crashed out of the Carabao Cup last season under Antonio Conte.
Recent form has been an issue for both sides, however, Tottenham finally got the monkey off their back last weekend when they ended a five-game run without a win with a comfortable victory over Newcastle United at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Spurs head coach Ange Postecoglou confirmed at Thursday’s pre-match press conference that Giovani Lo Celso would be forced to sit out the fixture having picked up a knock in training, which is not thought to be anything serious.
Postecoglou told Football.London: “The only one that’s new this week is Gio [Lo Celso]. Unfortunately he got a bit of a niggle at training, I don’t know what it is, but he missed training today so he’s not available tomorrow. Hopefully it’s nothing too serious.”
The Lilywhites have scored in 28 consecutive league games, their second longest top-flight streak behind a 32-match run in 1962.
This is who features under the lights in Nottingham this evening:
Forest: Turner; Boly, Murillo, Niakhaté; Williams, Yates, Mangala, Kouyaté, Toffolo; Elanga, Gibbs-White.
Subs: Danilo, Domínguez, Origi, Aina, Omobamidele, Montiel, Hudson-Odoi, Wood, Vlachodimos
Tottenham: Vicario; Porro, Romero, Davies, Udogie; Bissouma, Sarr; Johnson, Kulusevski, Son; Richarlison
Subs: Forster, Royal, Dorrington, Dier, Hojbjerg, Skipp, Gil, Donley, Veliz
