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

    I really really need Spurs to score.

    1. WVA
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

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

      1. KeanosMagic
        • 4 Years
        1 year, 1 month ago

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

      • 3 Years
      1 year, 1 month 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
          1 year, 1 month ago

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

          1. RICICLE
            • 3 Years
            1 year, 1 month ago

                KDB, Rashford, Timber, Saka all bombed

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

    1. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      No

    2. WVA
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      No Mateta to sell?

      1. bso
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        1 year, 1 month ago

        Don’t trust him so got Wood instead.

        1. WVA
          • 9 Years
          1 year, 1 month ago

          Fair and correct

  5. Free Hat
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

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

    1. WVA
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Yeah Murillo made a few the other week too!

  6. putana
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    why is Nico rifling it at his own teammate

  7. WVA
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    This is looking lovely now x

    Sels
    TAA Trippier RAN
    Salah Diaz Elanga Barnes
    Isak Wood Cunha

    1. Gudjohnsen
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Are you sure Barnes starts?

      1. WVA
        • 9 Years
        1 year, 1 month 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
      1 year, 1 month ago

      All that is missing is a Bournemouth attacker

      1. WVA
        • 9 Years
        1 year, 1 month 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
      1 year, 1 month 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
        1 year, 1 month 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
          1 year, 1 month 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
            1 year, 1 month ago

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

            1. RICICLE
              • 3 Years
              1 year, 1 month 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

  8. sirmorbach
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 1 month 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
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Hell, there's Díaz even.

    2. bso
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Would trust Palmer. He’s awful these days

    3. One for All
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      4 wouldn't touch Palmer, terrible form

    4. WVA
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 1 month 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

  9. EWH2020
    • 12 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    How the hell have spurs not scored?

  10. dhamphiir
    • 10 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Wood off

    1. Kaneyonero
      • 9 Years

  11. WVA
    • 9 Years

    1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

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

  12. BeaversWithAttitude
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Yes, Matz!

  13. putana
    • 7 Years

    Sickening stuff

    1. BUZZBOMB ♡
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

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

  19. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Just delete the bench boost chip!

    1. Gudjohnsen
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 1 month 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
      1 year, 1 month ago

      I second this notion.

  20. Gazwaz80
    • 6 Years

    Bol#%cks!!

  21. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

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

    1. Gazwaz80
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Mine was 4 last week….

    2. WVA

      Same so far Sels 3 Isak 2 Mateta 2 Konsa 2

      1. _Ninja_

        2 2 2 2 now

        1. WVA
          • 9 Years
          1 year, 1 month ago

          Yep, same every season for me

          1. _Ninja_
            • 15 Years
            1 year, 1 month ago

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

            1. WVA
              • 9 Years
              1 year, 1 month ago

              Completely agree

    3. Goodfeathers
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      12 here. Eye watering stuff for me. Miserable history with this chip.

    4. RICICLE
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Martinez, Sarr, AWB, Burn on my BB

      Just a huge failure

    5. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      mine is 5 points this week with all on it played

  22. Big Mike
    • 3 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Saints last gasp goal cost me 7 points, Spurs just scoring has lost me another 8.

  23. denial
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Areola, Livra, Isak, Milenk

    What a joke.

  24. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Sels YC, classic

  25. Kaneyonero
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 1 month 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.

  26. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

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

  27. F4L
    • 11 Years

    Spurs only lost 2 matches less than Ipswich this season

  28. Sun Jihai

    FPL_Harry getting away with benching double Forest defence - everything aligning for him this year!

    1. RICICLE
      • 3 Years

      Luckiest player I’ve ever seen

    2. gooberman
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      unbelievable

    3. Sergio Giorgini
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      I'd be benching defenders away at Spurs

  29. Feanor
    • 16 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

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

    11 Apr 14:22 Milenković Virgil GW32
