Tottenham vs. Nottingham Forest Picks

It has been an indifferent period for Nottingham Forest, and they could kick off on Monday sitting outside of the Champions League spots.

However, Tottenham have been poor defensively throughout the campaign, meaning that the Tricky Trees will get chances in North London. For that reason, we could foresee the visitors getting their campaign back on track.
