Match Preview
Tottenham Hotspur will host Nottingham Forest at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday, April 7, 2024, in a match that could have significant implications for both teams' aspirations. Tottenham are currently fifth in the Premier League, three points behind fourth-placed Aston Villa. A win against Nottingham Forest would move them above Villa and put them in a strong position to secure a spot in next season's Champions League. Nottingham Forest, on the other hand, are currently bottom of the league and in desperate need of points to avoid relegation.
