Nottingham Forest, under manager Vítor Pereira, are rebuilding after a chaotic 2025/26 campaign that saw the club use four head coaches before Pereira steadied the ship and secured Premier League survival. Forest competed in the Europa League in 2025/26 following their excellent seventh-place finish the previous year, but a turbulent league season ultimately ended in a relegation scrap. With talented individuals including striker Chris Wood, captain and midfielder Morgan Gibbs-White, winger Callum Hudson-Odoi and Brazilian striker Igor Jesus (signed from Botafogo), Forest have genuine quality, and the City Ground remains one of the Premier League's most intimidating away trips.
Tottenham Hotspur, under manager Roberto De Zerbi (appointed in March 2026), are looking to rebuild after one of the toughest periods in their modern history. Spurs finished 17th in the Premier League in 2025/26 - a second successive season in that position - and survived on the final day, having used three managers across the campaign. De Zerbi, the Italian who impressed at Brighton, arrived late in the season and steered the club to safety, and now looks to re-establish Tottenham among the contenders. With talented individuals including striker Dominic Solanke, defender Micky van de Ven, midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur and attacker Mohammed Kudus, plus summer arrivals such as Andy Robertson and Jan Paul van Hecke, Spurs retain genuine quality. They remain one of English football's historic institutions, with 27 trophies and a 2024/25 Europa League triumph to their name.
Recent form and rivalry context
Nottingham Forest's rebuild
Forest's 2025/26 season was defined by upheaval, with four managers and a fight against relegation that went to the wire. Vítor Pereira's task is to bring stability and rediscover the resilience and set-piece strength that has served Forest well in the past. The City Ground has remained a genuine fortress throughout, with visiting teams consistently finding it a difficult place to take points. Against Tottenham, Forest will look to lean on that home advantage and their recent edge in this fixture.
Tottenham under De Zerbi
Tottenham endured a historically difficult 2025/26, with back-to-back 17th-place finishes and a managerial merry-go-round that ran through Thomas Frank and Igor Tudor before Roberto De Zerbi arrived in March 2026. De Zerbi took 11 points from his final six games to clinch survival, and Spurs have backed him in the transfer market. This fixture is an opportunity for Tottenham to show the progress they are aiming for under the Italian's progressive approach.
Key players to watch
Nottingham Forest's star performers
Morgan Gibbs-White: Forest's England midfielder and club captain provides technical quality, creativity and a goal threat from midfield. His ability to control play and drive attacking moves makes him central to Forest's best work, and his decision to stay despite interest from elsewhere underlines his importance.
Chris Wood: Forest's New Zealand striker brings physical presence, leadership and proven goalscoring. His hold-up play and clinical finishing were a major factor in Forest's strong 2024/25, and experience makes him one of their most important players.
Callum Hudson-Odoi: Forest's England winger offers pace, directness and a goal threat from wide areas. His ability to beat defenders and produce decisive moments makes him dangerous on the counter-attack.
Igor Jesus: Forest's Brazilian striker, signed from Botafogo, adds pace, movement and intelligent positioning to the attack, giving Pereira another clear focal point up front.
Tottenham's key men
Dominic Solanke: Tottenham's England striker brings movement, link-up play and the ability to lead the line, and is central to Spurs' attacking approach when fit.
Micky van de Ven: Tottenham's Dutch defender offers exceptional pace, composure and the ability to play out from the back - a perfect fit for De Zerbi's progressive style.
Rodrigo Bentancur: Tottenham's Uruguayan midfielder provides tactical intelligence, tempo control and balance in the middle of the park.
Mohammed Kudus: Tottenham's Ghanaian attacker, signed from West Ham United in summer 2025 for around £55m, brings pace, creativity and the ability to drive play forward from wide areas or midfield.
Head-to-head history
Historical context: Nottingham Forest and Tottenham are two long-established English clubs with a lengthy competitive history. Both have known great success and leaner years, and meetings between them have often been closely contested.
Recent encounters: Forest have enjoyed the better of this fixture recently, including a 2-1 win at Tottenham in 2024/25 and an emphatic 3-0 victory at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in March 2026 - a result that contributed to a managerial change at Spurs. Combined with Forest's strong home record at the City Ground, that recent edge makes this a genuinely competitive contest.
Venue: City Ground
One of English football's most atmospheric stadiums
The City Ground has been Nottingham Forest's home since 1898 and is one of English football's most historic and atmospheric venues. With a capacity of approximately 30,404, it sits on the banks of the River Trent and is known for its passionate support and the challenge it poses to visiting teams. The ground has more than 125 years of history and remains a much-loved venue, particularly given Forest's storied European past.
The stadium's design brings supporters close to the pitch, creating an intense matchday environment. Despite changing times, the City Ground retains its character and remains one of the most evocative grounds in the country.
Design and features
The City Ground comprises four stands: the Trent End, the Bridgford Stand, the Brian Clough Stand and the Peter Taylor Stand. The ground has been modernised over the decades while keeping its historic feel, combining traditional English football character with the facilities expected of a Premier League club, including modern hospitality areas and good viewing throughout.
Atmosphere and fortress qualities
When Forest's supporters are in full voice, particularly in big matches, the City Ground generates a formidable atmosphere. The Trent End drives much of the noise, and the stadium's design amplifies it into one of the league's tougher away environments. The ground has witnessed many historic nights during Forest's periods of success, including their two European Cup triumphs. Even well-prepared visitors find it a difficult place to come and win.
Getting to the City Ground
By train
Nottingham Railway Station is the nearest major railway station, located approximately 1.5 miles from the City Ground. From the station, supporters can walk to the stadium (approximately 20-30 minutes) or use local transport from the station forecourt.
By tram
The Nottingham Express Transit (NET) tram system provides excellent access to the City Ground. The Meadows tram stop is within walking distance of the stadium, making this a convenient option on matchdays, with services running regularly from Nottingham city centre.
By bus
Multiple bus routes serve the area from Nottingham city centre and across the East Midlands, with various services operating on matchdays. Local transport information is available from Nottingham City Transport and other regional operators.
By car
The City Ground is accessible via the A52 and A6 roads connecting to Nottingham's road network. Parking near the ground is very limited on matchdays and official parking requires advance booking, so supporters are strongly encouraged to use public transport.
Tactical preview
Nottingham Forest's approach
Forest under Vítor Pereira are expected to prioritise defensive organisation, set-piece strength and effective transitions, looking to frustrate opponents and strike on the counter. With Gibbs-White pulling the strings and Wood, Hudson-Odoi and Igor Jesus offering threat in attack, Forest can hurt any side - and at the City Ground, their home advantage is significant.
Tottenham's approach under De Zerbi
Roberto De Zerbi is known for a progressive, possession-based style built on patient build-up, structured pressing and attacking intent. The challenge for Spurs is to impose that identity consistently. Against a well-organised Forest side in a hostile atmosphere, Tottenham will need to be both disciplined and incisive to take something from this fixture.

Club histories
Nottingham Forest
Nottingham Forest were founded in 1865 and are one of English football's most historic clubs. Their golden era came under Brian Clough, winning the league title in 1978 and then back-to-back European Cups in 1979 and 1980 - a feat that secures their place among the game's legendary names. After years away from the top flight, Forest returned to the Premier League in 2022 and re-established themselves, earning European qualification with a fine 2024/25 campaign. Their 2025/26 season was far more turbulent, with four managers and a fight for survival, and they now look to stabilise under Vítor Pereira at the City Ground (capacity approximately 30,404).
Tottenham Hotspur
Tottenham Hotspur were founded in 1882 and are one of English football's traditional powerhouses, with 27 trophies including multiple FA Cups and League Cups, as well as the 2024/25 Europa League. Recent seasons have been challenging, however, with back-to-back 17th-place league finishes and a brush with relegation in 2025/26. Roberto De Zerbi arrived in March 2026 and kept the club up, and Spurs will hope his progressive approach can restore them to the upper reaches of the table. They play at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium (capacity 62,850), one of world football's most modern grounds.
The fixture dynamic
This Premier League encounter brings together two clubs rebuilding after difficult campaigns. Forest's atmospheric home environment and recent edge in this fixture make them dangerous opponents, while Tottenham's quality and ambition under De Zerbi mean they will back themselves to compete. The result often hinges on whether Spurs can handle the City Ground atmosphere and Forest's organised, counter-attacking threat.
