Elanga guides Nottingham Forest 1-0 ahead of Spurs

Morgan Gibbs-White finds a sprinting Anthony Elanga, who coolly tucks away his effort into the Spurs goal to make it 1-0 for Nottingham Forest at the City Ground.

Forster - Spence, Dragusin, Gray, Udogie - Bentancur, Sarr, Kulusevski - Johnson, Son, Solanke

Sels - Aina, Milenkovic, Murillo, Williams - Yates, Anderson, Gibbs-White - Elanga, Hudson-Odoi, Wood

Nuno Espirito Santo’s side sits 4th in the table at Christmas, but that means the job is only (nearly) halfway done, and the next small step is to still be there on New Year’s Day. The knock on the Tricky Trees early in the season was that they they didn’t score enough goals and it was only Chris Wood carrying them (8 goals in 10 appearances out of the gate), which couldn’t last an entire season. Now, they’re winners of three straight games with 7 goals scored, and only 1 by Wood. Anthony Elanga has scored in back-to-back games, including the stoppage-time winner against fellow top-4 hopefuls Aston Villa, and Morgan Gibbs-White has chipped in with a goal and an assist each as well.

On one hand, Forest host a Tottenham side that was beaten 6-3 by Liverpool (at home) on Sunday and most sides suffer a serious loss of confidence after such a result. On the other hand, Spurs has suffered a number of significant setbacks the last 18 months and they almost always bounce back with a resounding performance that shows the best of what could be under Ange Postecoglou. Only to be followed by another violent swing toward the negative, and on and on again, my friend. And that’s where they are right now after losing 4-3, winning 5-0 and losing 6-3 in successive games.

OUT: Danilo (ankle), Ibrahim Sangare (undisclosed)

OUT: Micky van de Ven (hamstring), Cristian Romero (quad), Guglielmo Vicario (fractured ankle - MORE), Richarlison (thigh), Wilson Odobert (thigh), Ben Davies (thigh)

If there is one major weakness for Forest, it is that their defenders don’t hold up too well against a press, and while many are calling for Postecoglou to temper his overly aggressive ways, he would be wise to press forward in this one. Nottingham Forest 1-2 Tottenham.
