Antonio Conte has made no changes to his Tottenham team for this afternoon's Premier League showdown against Nottingham Forest. Starting the 2022/23 campaign with two wins and one draw from their first three games, Spurs will be intent on stretching their unbeaten run when they visit the City Ground for the first time in 17 years.
It certainly won't be easy, though, with Forest already beating West Ham at home two weeks ago. Steve Cooper's men come into the game on the back of a 1-1 draw at Everton and a 3-0 triumph at Grimsby Town in the Carabao Cup.
Speaking to the media on Friday at his pre-match press conference, Conte revealed that Cristian Romero and Oliver Skipp would miss out once again through injury. That means Davinson Sanchez starts again at centre-back alongside Eric Dier and Ben Davies.

Elsewhere, Son Heung-min keeps his place up front despite his recent troubles in front of goal as Richarlison is named on the bench again. Lucas Moura and Bryan Gil and have been replaced by Djed Spence and Pape Matar Sarr.
The first league meeting between the sides since the 1998/99 campaign, the Spurs boss is certainly looking forward to the game at the City Ground.
"Forest started the season very well. I think it's good, nice to have Nottingham Forest in the Premier League because we're talking about a club with a great history," he said.
"I've seen there's a great enthusiasm, great atmosphere, my expectation is to play around a lot of noise. But we're working well and preparing well. We know the game will be difficult. We have to go into the game with the right mind and try to do our best."
Here is the Tottenham team Conte has named to take on Nottingham Forest.
Tottenham XI vs Nottingham Forest: Lloris; Sanchez, Dier, Davies; Emerson, Hojbjerg, Bentancur, Perisic; Kulusevski, Kane, Son
