Is Nottingham Forest vs Tottenham on TV today? Time, channel and how to watch

Nottingham Forest face Tottenham in the Premier League this afternoon as Steve Cooper’s side host their second match at the City Ground since returning to the top flight.

Despite signing 16 players already this summer, and with Cooper not ruling out further additions either, newly promoted Forest marked their return to the Premier League with a home victory over West Ham to get their campaign up and running.

Forest now face one of the Premier League’s top sides in Tottenham, who despite not hitting their best form so far this season are developing a knack of producing results under Antonio Conte.

Last weekend’s 1-0 win over Wolves saw Harry Kane’s second decisive goal in as many weeks, with the striker also scoring late on to salvage a point at Chelsea, leaving Spurs with seven points from their opening nine.

Here’s everything you need to know ahead of today’s Premier League fixture.

Morgan Gibbs-White will be assessed after picking up a knock against Everton last weekend, which ruled him out of the Carabao Cup win at Grimsby. Jack Colback could return to the squad for the first time this season but Moussa Niakhate remains out.

Ivan Perisic looks set to keep his place on the left wing, while Heung-min Son’s slow start to the season has given Antonio Conte a decision to make with Richarlison pushing for his first start. Cristian Romero is out but Davinson Sanchez impressed as his replacement, while Oliver Skipp is nearing a return.
