Premier League
City Ground​

No new injuries and both Bentancur and Udogie are available to start, apparently.
Davies, Romero, Richarlison, Vicario, van de Ven, Moore and Odobert are still injured.
Nicolas Dominguez is suspended for the hosts after picking up five yellow cards.

Lineups for each side's last league game:

Spurs: Forster; Porro, Dragusin, Gray, Spence; Sarr, Bissouma; Kulusevski, Maddison, Son; Solanke.
Subs: Austin, Dorrington, Udogie, Reguilon, Bergvall, Olusesi, Johnson, Werner, Lankshear.
League form: WDLLWL.

Forest: Sels; Milenkovic, Murillo, Morato; Aina, Gibbs-White, Anderson, Williams; Elanga, Hudson-Odoi, Wood.
Subs: Miguel, Toffolo, Boly, Moreno, Yates, Ward-Prowse, Dominguez, Silva, Awoniyi.
League form: LWLWWW.

Ref: Craig ****ing Pawson. VAR: Michael Salisbury.

TV: Amazon Prime.

How would you like to line up for this one and how do you think we actually will line up?
 
No reason we can’t this one. We’re scoring goals so just cut out the individual mistakes of the last couple of games and we’ve got a very good chance.

Assume Bentancur will rightfully come straight back in and if Udogie is fit then hope to see Spence move to the right. Get a win here and sets us up nicely for two home games before league cup and fa cup week then the NLD.

I know that’s probably a little too optimistic but Ange isn’t changing so just hope we do better, plus it’s Christmas.

Boxing day fixtures alway through up some stonking scorelines so let's hope we are not on the receiving end of anything!

I am also now not back at work until the 4th, so hopefully the office will have forgotten the result by then if it goes the wrong way...

Don't worry, we'll have lost to Wolves and Newcastle too by the time you go back, so you'll have plenty to talk about :1980_boogie_down:

We're not playing Fulham, so that rules out a turgid 0-0 at least...

Neither of them is suited to the role they've been given imo.

Both would be better suited with Romero/Mickey Van playing, as they mask a lot of weaknesses of both

Dragusin/Gray (or Dragusin/Davies, for that matter) doesn't due to them sitting deeper meaning there's extra yards for teams to expose the weaknesses of Bissouma and a post-nobbling Bentancur
 
Really pleased to see Spence get a chance on his stronger side. Hopefully returning to his former club won't be a distraction.

Need a big performance from Bentancur today. His idiocy cost us at a time when injuries hit and hard.
 
Spence and Johnson together down the right at the club where they excelled doing just that.
