Tottenham Hotspur take on Nottingham Forest in the Monday night Premier League game.

Spurs sealed their progress into the semi-finals of the UEFA Europa League last week, but sit 16th in the Premier League with nothing to play for.

Nuno Espirito Santo’s side, however, are aiming to get their UEFA Champions League push back on, having lost their last two matches.

Kick-off in north London is at 20:00 BST.

Ange Postecoglou has made five changes for the visit of Forest.

Djed SpencePape SarrDejan KulusevskiWilson Odobert and Richarlison come into the starting XI.

Lucas Bergvall, James Maddison, Brennan Johnson and Dominic Solanke drop to the bench, while Destiny Udogie is not in the matchday squad.

Son Heung-min, who has missed the last two fixtures in all competitions with a foot injury, remains out.

Forest, meanwhile, make three changes to the side that lost to Everton last time out.

Anthony Elanga returns in attack and comes in for Jota Silva, while Harry Toffolo and Danilo replace Alex Moreno and Callum Hudson-Odoi.

LINE-UPS

Tottenham Hotspur XI: Vicario, Porro, Romero, van de Ven, Spence, Bentancur, Sarr, Kulusevski, Odobert, Tel, Richarlison

Subs: Kinsky, Davies, Danso, Gray, Bissouma, Bergvall, Maddison, Johnson, Solanke

Nottingham Forest XI: Sels, Williams, Milenkovic, Murillo, Toffolo, Anderson, Dominguez, Danilo, Gibbs-White, Elanga, Wood

      I really really need Spurs to score.

      1. WVA
        • 9 Years
        11 months, 4 days ago

        What you really really really need to do is have a defender from the best defence in the league

        1. KeanosMagic
          • 4 Years
          11 months, 4 days ago

          I've got 2 of them. Obviously hit the BB last week

        11 months, 4 days ago

        Can’t be worse than mine surely? On 46 pts, minus 4, and my rival in 2nd has gained almost a 30 point gain on me to be within 6 points behind!
        I have the upper hand though with more players this DGW and he’s spurned his FH hehe

        1. g40steve

            • 9 Years
            11 months, 4 days ago

            Everyone around me seems to have Kerkez and Mbeumo on their bench boost lol

            1. RICICLE
              • 3 Years
              11 months, 4 days ago

                  KDB, Rashford, Timber, Saka all bombed

    • bso
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      11 months, 4 days ago

      Is it worth transferring out Marmoush for Cunha 4ph, when I want Marmoush back next week?

      1. Pep's Money Laundry
        • 10 Years
        11 months, 4 days ago

        No

      2. WVA
        • 9 Years
        11 months, 4 days ago

        No Mateta to sell?

        1. bso
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          11 months, 4 days ago

          Don’t trust him so got Wood instead.

          1. WVA
            • 9 Years
            11 months, 4 days ago

            Fair and correct

    • Free Hat
      • 7 Years
      11 months, 4 days ago

      Incredible how many goal line clearances Ive seen this season from NFO. Great work from Toffolo.

      1. WVA
        • 9 Years
        11 months, 4 days ago

        Yeah Murillo made a few the other week too!

    • putana
      • 7 Years
      11 months, 4 days ago

      why is Nico rifling it at his own teammate

    • WVA
      • 9 Years
      11 months, 4 days ago

      This is looking lovely now x

      Sels
      TAA Trippier RAN
      Salah Diaz Elanga Barnes
      Isak Wood Cunha

      1. Gudjohnsen
        • 9 Years
        11 months, 4 days ago

        Are you sure Barnes starts?

        1. WVA
          • 9 Years
          11 months, 4 days ago

          No but he is the leagues most in form player so probably and Newcastle in the knows think Barnes and Murphy have done enough to keep their place

      2. Pep's Money Laundry
        • 10 Years
        11 months, 4 days ago

        All that is missing is a Bournemouth attacker

        1. WVA
          • 9 Years
          11 months, 4 days ago

          It’s United but Bournemouth have been so bad at home, Evanilson/Kluivert not scored at home for 10/20 games

      3. RICICLE
        • 3 Years
        11 months, 4 days ago

        Looking tasty!

        Not prefer Leno over Sels? I feel Brentford will score.
        Currently got Barnes AND Murphy, but thinking of removing Barnes for Bowen.

        1. WVA
          • 9 Years
          11 months, 4 days ago

          No NFO by far the best defence, Leno 1 CS in 11 and Southampton score in most games.

          Yeah Barnes and Murphy over Isak is the correct way but I’m too scared to leave out Isak

          1. RICICLE
            • 3 Years
            11 months, 4 days ago

            Very true, I’ve now got Sels and Leno haha.
            Oh I’ve tripled as it stands with Murphy Barnes AND Isak, but thinking I may opt for Trippier over one of the more, not too sure yet.

            1. WVA
              • 9 Years
              11 months, 4 days ago

              Managed to find 3 decent defenders that aren’t Newcastle?

              1. RICICLE
                • 3 Years
                11 months, 4 days ago

                I had it originally as Cucurella - RAN - Sessegnon, with VVD and Milenkovic on the bench.

                However I’ve now tinkered and seen to be settled on:

                Sels
                Trippier - RAN - TAA
                Bowen - L.Diaz - Salah - Murphy
                Cunha - Isak - Evanilson
                _____________________________
                Leno: Iwobi: Sessegnon: Cucu

    • sirmorbach
      • 9 Years
      11 months, 4 days ago

      Who to play on FH?

      1. Wood
      2. Mbeumo
      3. Palmer
      4. Iwobi

      Wood always seems to score. Mbeumo is on superb form. They both play each other.

      Palmer, though Chelsea is terrible lately, is a magnificent footballer and plays Everton at home.

      Iwobi has recent returns and plays Southampton.

      1. sirmorbach
        • 9 Years
        11 months, 4 days ago

        Hell, there's Díaz even.

      2. bso
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        11 months, 4 days ago

        Would trust Palmer. He’s awful these days

      3. One for All
        • 7 Years
        11 months, 4 days ago

        4 wouldn't touch Palmer, terrible form

      4. WVA
        • 9 Years
        11 months, 4 days ago

        Wood yes
        Mbeumo is not in superb form at all, one good game recently and is away to best defence in league.
        Palmer is pathetic and not an option
        Iwobi first on bench x

    • EWH2020
      • 12 Years
      11 months, 4 days ago

      How the hell have spurs not scored?

    • dhamphiir

      1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
        • 9 Years

        They scored only one goal less than Arsenal but conceded almost double

    • BeaversWithAttitude
      • 7 Years

      Yes, Matz!

    • putana

        • 11 Years
        11 months, 4 days ago

        Double NFO defence last week, Areola BB this week and now this. Sickening doesnt describe it.

    • Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      Just delete the bench boost chip!

      1. Gudjohnsen
        • 9 Years
        11 months, 4 days ago

        it really is the worst chip.

        Think I will use it in gw 1 next season.

      2. Goodfeathers
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years

        I second this notion.

      No let up this week! A nine point bench boost it is…

        Mine was 4 last week….

            1. _Ninja_
              • 15 Years
              11 months, 4 days ago

              Said many times, the chip is more trouble than its worth

              1. WVA
                • 9 Years
                11 months, 4 days ago

                Completely agree

      3. Goodfeathers
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years

        Martinez, Sarr, AWB, Burn on my BB

    • Big Mike

      Sels YC, classic

    • Kaneyonero
      • 9 Years
      11 months, 4 days ago

      15 points behind safety. Rank 300k. Horrendous GW. Need Saka and KDB to start and rip it up. Otherwise rage transfers coming. But at least I didn't play BB.

    • SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE

      Richarlison wiping that jammy Forest CS late on, oh and a Sels YC for time wasting, bliss! 🙂

      I had Virgil on my GW32 WC till the last minute, then swapped to Milenkovic to save money. Cost me 11 points.
