Nottingham Forest vs Tottenham LIVE: Latest Premier League updates
Follow live updates as Tottenham Hotspur travel to Nottingham Forest in the final Premier League fixture of the weekend. Antonio Conte’s side have made an impressive start to the season in terms of getting points on the board and face a newly promoted Forest side who won their opening home game of the season against West Ham at the City Ground. Forest have been by far the busiest Premier League team in the transfer market as Steve Cooper continues to build his team for the season.
Spurs will look for an improved performance after requiring Harry Kane headers to first rescue a point at Chelsea and then claim a narrow win over Wolves last weekend. Tottenham will look to match the fast starts made by Arsenal and Manchester City as the campaign schedule picks up pace, with a visit to London rivals West Ham to come on Wednesday. Conte may have looked to rotate his side ahead of the first of what will be many three-match game weeks to come this year, but the Italian has named an unchanged team.

Nottingham Forest 0-1 Tottenham
9 mins: A half-chance for Spurs on the counter after Forest give it away in the corner. Kulusevski flies forward but Tottenham can’t hit Perisic, who was free at the back post. Johnson then scampers forward, and sees his shot take a deflection from Davies and out for a corner.
Johnson, Lingard and Gibbs-White look really bright.

Nottingham Forest 0-1 Tottenham
7 mins: That was a class from Spurs. Forest had made a good start but that’s a harsh reminder of how punishing the Premier League can be. Johnson whips a lovely ball across the face of goal, but there was no one there for the touch.

GOAL! Nottingham Forest 0-1 Tottenham (KANE 4’)
Where has that come from?! Tottenham make a brilliant start, and it’s Kane again! Kulusevski plays a big role, picking the ball up on the halfway line and threading a lovely reverse ball to Kane, who carries his run. He then picks out the bottom left corner for his 200th league goal – another milestone.
Kane has now scored in three games in a row.

3 mins: Perisic gives away a pass on the halfway line and Gibbs-White drives forward impressively. The attack then fizzles out, and Gibbs-White fires over from 25 yards.

Nottingham Forest 0-0 Tottenham
1 min: Early pressure from Forest, after Lingard wins a free kick. He then fizzes a couple of testing crosses into the box, that Lloris deals with.

Nottingham Forest vs Tottenham
Nottingham Forest have won their last eight home matches at the City Ground – a run that obviously stretches back to their promotion campaign.
Tottenham are still favourites here, but Forest will want to keep making their home a fortress in the Premier League.

Earlier this afternoon in the Premier League, West Ham have got their first win of the season ahead of Wednesday’s home match against Spurs with a 1-0 win over Aston Villa. That’s a result that puts huge pressure on Steven Gerrard.
Elsewhere, Allan Saint-Maximin scored a stunning late equaliser to rescue a draw for Newcastle at Wolves, who remain without a win this season.
Here’s Richard Jolly’s report from Molineux.

Nottingham Forest vs Tottenham: Team news
So, after all that talk of rotation and form, Antonio Conte has name an unchanged team from last week’s 1-0 win over Wolves. That means Ivan Perisic continues and Heung-min Son gets the backing from his manager, with Richarlison an option on the bench.
Steve Cooper has made two changes. Ryan Yates makes his first Premier League start and there’s a full debut for Morgan Gibbs-White following his big-money move from Wolves.
