Tottenham Hotspur vs. Nottingham Forest: game time, live blog, and how to watch online
Squeaky bum time.
LONDON, ENGLAND - MARCH 18: Xavi Simons of Tottenham Hotspur celebrates scoring his team's second goal during the UEFA Champions League 2025/26 Round of 16 Second Leg match between Tottenham Hotspur FC and Atletico de Madrid at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on March 18, 2026 in London, England.

If any Premier League side is in more disarray than Spurs, it’s Forest. Having achieved European football following last season’s successful campaign, the additional pressure and fixture congestion has been a step too far for Forest, and when you combine that with the cavalcade of managers that have marched in (and out) of the West Bridgford club thanks to owner Vangelis Marinakis’ particular brand of crazy, you have an atmosphere of chaos. Unfortunately, Spurs have been even worse when it comes to form on the football field, and with West Ham United showing a late resurgence, Forest are arguably Spurs’ biggest relegation rivals.
With a point separating the sides, Spurs and Forest sit in 16th and 17th place respectively, giving remarkable weight to what would sometimes be a routine fixture. Spurs will be buoyed by the return of a few players from injury, as well as some of their recent performances which have been at a level rarely seen this season. Will it be enough to secure Spurs’ first league win this year, and potentially stave off relegation?
