Spurs Starting XI vs Nottingham Forest: Confirmed Team News and Predicted Lineup Tottenham predicted lineup and injury latest ahead of Nottingham Forest clash Spurs selection picture sharpens before key fixture Tottenham approach their Premier League meeting with Nottingham Forest with a growing sense of clarity around selection, though not without the usual complications that have defined their season. With points at a premium near the lower reaches of the table, every decision carries weight, and the predicted lineup reflects both returning fitness and tactical evolution. There is cautious optimism surrounding Dominic Solanke, who is expected to be available despite missing training late in the week.
The forward’s presence would offer a focal point Spurs have occasionally lacked, though there remains a possibility he is eased back rather than thrust straight into the starting XI. Cristian Romero is certain to marshal the defence, with Micky van de Ven returning after suspension to restore a partnership that has looked far more assured when intact. Destiny Udogie, having made his comeback from injury off the bench, is pushing strongly to reclaim a starting role at left-back, adding balance and forward thrust.

The availability of Joao Palhinha, Conor Gallagher and Lucas Bergvall gives the manager flexibility, yet recent performances may dictate continuity over rotation. Archie Gray has impressed with composure and tactical intelligence, making it difficult to dislodge him.
Alongside him, Pape Matar Sarr offers energy and progression, while Pedro Porro and Xavi Simons provide width and attacking impetus from advanced midfield roles. Simons, in particular, has forced his way into contention with a standout display in Europe, contributing goals and creativity in equal measure. That performance may prove decisive in retaining his place, especially in a system that leans towards a more direct and vertical approach.
