TEAM FORM - (All Competitions)
Forrest - DLWDW -------- Spurs - WLWDW

Despite performing far from our best, we still have accumulated 7 points from 3 games and are yet to lose a game so far this season. Only Man City and Liverpool have accumulated more points than us since Conte took over last October, and there is a growing feeling that we are best placed to break their stronghold on the league, even if Arsenal have made a perfect start to the season to the season.

We had fewer shots and possession at home against Wolves last time out, but a clever corner routine saw Perisic flick on a header from the near post, where Kane dispatched it with aplomb.

We play Nottingham Forest on Sunday where if they win, would draw level on points with us. They have signed 15 players so far, and should be pleased with already having 4 points from their first 3 games.

They were beaten by Newcastle on the first game of the season, but replied by beating West Ham in the second, then drew with Everton last week, where Everton had a last ditch equaliser.

Given Forest's formidable home record under Cooper, we may require a better performance if we are to record successive wins, but there does seem to be plenty of more gears for us to move into as the season progresses.

Team News

We have benefitted from a week off, but Cuti will not feature despite his adductor injury not being as serious as first feared.

The Argentina defender missed last week's win against Wolves, and Conte clearly feels it is too early in the season to be risking such a key player.

Likewise, Skippy is expected to be given time to recover from a hairline fracture in his heel, while Lucas and Bryan may not make the trip after missing Friday's training session with minor knocks, so it could be the same starting XI which marginally dispatched Wolves.

Cooper made 11 changes for his side's trip to Grimsby Town in the EFL Cup on Tuesday, showcasing Forest's newly-found strength in depth.

Sam Surridge scored twice in the 3-0 victory but the former Swansea City boss is likely to stick with Taiwo Awoniyi as the team's focal point, bu Morgan Gibss-White could make his first start for the club having impressed from the bench at Goodison Park.

Remo Frueler and Emmanuel Dennis both made their debuts against Grimsby but they may have to be patient before starting league games following their moves from Atalanta and Watford respectively, while Moussa Niakhate and Omar Richards remain sidelined through injury.
