Nottingham Forest vs Tottenham – Premier League: Live score, team news and updates as Ange Postecoglou’s side look to move into top four in battle for Champions League football

The players have been put through their paces as the stadium fills up and are now heading back into the tunnel for what will be the last time before kick-off.

Spurs have been prone to the odd surprise mistake this season, while Forest have shown they have the potential to cause unrest. The kick-off is at 6 p.m.

A point in Manchester means Erik ten Hag’s side are now eight points behind Tottenham in a race for a place in next season’s Champions League.

It sounds like a lot of points – and it is a lot – but after today Ange Postecoglou must prepare his side for a ridiculous schedule that will see Spurs take on Newcastle, Man City, Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool in their next five games.

If United can find some form of consistency, Spurs could be catchable during that run.

The whistle has just blown at Old Trafford, with Liverpool scoring late on to rescue a point. You can follow all the responses below.

The Spurs captain scored his 15th goal of the season in their 2-1 win over Luton last time out and has been in fantastic form this season.

Son leads the club’s goalscoring chart with three goals in his last five appearances, while Richarlison is just behind with 11 Premier League goals.

He has scored just once previously against Forest and will need a huge performance today if the hosts are to earn a win over a struggling visiting side.

Arguments can be made for both teams, but you really get the feeling this is a bigger game for Nottingham Forest than Spurs. Both need points to help their relative goals, but Forest are locked in a five-team race to avoid relegation.

They are currently just outside the drop zone on goal difference alone and a win today would put them three points clear.

Meanwhile, Spurs are within reach of the Champions League places and will move level on points with Aston Villa if they seal victory today.

It is a different race than usual this season, but a fifth place is probably enough to qualify for the Champions League this season.

Forest understandably remain unchanged from the team that started their recent 3-1 win over Fulham.

Callum Hudson-Odoi opened the scoring on their last trip to the capital, will the ex-Chelsea man do so again today?

Ange Postecoglou names his team to take on Forest, with Timo Werner preferred on the wing to Dejan Kulusevski, who was sensational in the reverse fixture earlier this season.

The visitors have arrived and Nuno Espírito Santo was smiling as he led his team off the team bus.

I suspect he will have a different look on his face full-time when Spurs put in another dominant performance against Forest.

A win for the hosts today would make it three wins on the spin against Nottingham Forest. Ange Postecoglou guided his side to a comfortable 2-0 win at the City Ground earlier this season, while former boss Antonio Conte celebrated a 3-1 home win over Forest last season.

Forest need three points today as they look to maintain their place in the league, but recent history is not on their side.

Tottenham previously sent a statement confirming today’s match would go ahead after a man was stabbed to death and found earlier on Sunday morning.

The club announced that certain road closures have been put in place near the stadium while police investigate the area.

The hosts have just equalized with a sensational goal from Bruno Fernandes.

Hello, thanks for joining us, and welcome to Mail Sport’s live blog of Sunday’s final Premier League match as Tottenham hosted Nottingham Forest in the capital.
