TEAM FORM
Spurs - WWLLD -------- Forest - WLDLD
Off the back of yet another dampening elimination from European competition,we return to Premier League action against Nottingham Forest on Saturday afternoon. We lost 1-0 on aggregate to AC Milan in our Champions League last-16 battle in midweek, while the Tricky Trees most recently drew 2-2 at home to Everton
Spurs
In the past 10 days alone, two avenues to trophies have been blocked off, with us falling to a 1-0 defeat to Sheffield United in our FA Cup fifth-round tie before losing by the same scoreline on aggregate to Milan in the Champions League, having bored fans and neutrals with a drab goalless stalemate in Wednesday's second leg.
Barring an unbelievable surge to the top of the EPL table - which seems fanciful given our 18-point gap to leaders Arsenal - we only have Champions League football left to fight for in the coming weeks amid our unsightly winless and scoreless streak in recent games.
Now without a victory or indeed a goal in our last three games - including a 1-0 loss to Wolverhampton Wanderers in last weekend's top-flight battle – we could soon find ourselves out of the top five entirely if Liverpool and Newcastle United win their games in hand, but recent home exploits in the top flight serve as cause for mild optimism.
We have won our last three Premier League games at home without conceding a goal. Not since March 2018 have we enjoyed a run of four home wins with four clean sheets in tow, when Poch - whose name was sung by supporters on Wednesday amid rumours of a sensational return - was in charge.
Forest
As speculation surrounding Conte's long-term future continues to rage, some members of our hierarchy have supposedly taken a liking to Forest boss Steve Cooper, whose side's unbeaten home run in the Premier League was extended to an impressive nine matches with last week's draw against Everton.
Twice Everton took the lead, and twice Forest struck back.The 14th-placed Tricky Trees are by no means out of the woods yet, but they hold a four-point advantage over 18th-placed Everton with a game in hand thanks to last week's draw, although that did extend their winless run in the division to four matches.
Furthermore, away day deficiences are threatening to cancel out their resilient home streak, as the Tricky Trees have won just once away from home in the league all season and have scored a mere three goals on rival turf - unsurprisingly the worst record of its kind in the division.
After a 2-0 win over Forest at the City Ground back in August, Cooper's men gleaned revenge in November with victory by the same scoreline in the EFL Cup, but no newly-promoted side has managed to come away from our with all three points in the bag, yet.
