Antonio Conte will need to make changes to get Tottenham's season back on track when Nottingham Forest come to town on Saturday afternoon.
Spurs ' campaign has taken a nosedive in the past week with meek exits from the FA Cup and Champions League at the hands of Sheffield United and AC Milan respectively. Conte's future has been questioned after three games without a goal and with Liverpool chasing hard behind, Tottenham need to get back to winning ways to maintain their spot in the top four.
Conte admitted on Friday that both Emerson Royal and Ivan Perisic are injury doubts ahead of the game, with the Brazilian having missed training that day.

Conte cannot persist with the same underperforming front three after two games without goals from them. Richarlison was vocal about his frustrations with the head coach's selection decisions on Wednesday and his lack of game time, and in turn the Italian was vocal about his opinion of the £60m Brazilian's unimpressive season so far.
The Spurs boss did say the former Everton attacker apologised for his comments and if Conte is feeling in a forgiving mood that might see him back in the starting line-up with his compatriot Lucas Moura the other option.
The Tottenham fans want to see Arnaut Danjuma finally make his full debut for Tottenham since moving on loan from Villarreal six weeks ago, but Conte stating that the Netherlands was a club signing and one who does not actually fit his system and formation does not bode well.
Elsewhere Eric Dier should return to the defence, which allows Ben Davies to replace the out of form and injured Perisic on the left. On the other flank, Pedro Porro should get another Premier League start to his name.
Here's the team we reckon Conte will select:
3-4-3: Forster; Romero, Dier, Lenglet; Porro, Hojbjerg, Skipp, Davies; Richarlison, Kane, Son.
