Tottenham XI vs Nottingham Forest: Predicted lineup, confirmed team news, injury latest for Premier League today

Tottenham are expected to make changes against Nottingham Forest - (ES Composite)

Tottenham are expected to make changes tonight against Nottingham Forest after a heroic effort last week to reach the Europa League semi-finals.

Dejan Kulusevski, Kevin Danso and Richarlison have all returned to the squad after injury in recent weeks and Spurs head coach Ange Postecoglou has said he will make "five or six" changes to his XI from Thursday's seismic win against Eintracht Frankfurt.

Kulusevski is likely to replace James Maddison at No10, with the England international a doubt with soreness after being forced off in Germany following a clattering by goalkeeper Kaua Santos, while Richarlison could start up front, giving Dominic Solanke a rest.

Danso played the final five minutes in Germany and the Austrian is pushing to come into the backline, which could also feature Archie Gray and Djed Spence at full-back. Cristian Romero is due a rest, with Ben Davies or Micky van de Ven options to fill in at centre-back.

Pape Matar Sarr and Yves Bissouma are pushing for starts in midfield, although Lucas Bergvall may be fresh enough to keep his place.

Postecoglou has been managing Wilson Odobert's minutes of late and Heung-min Son (foot) remains sidelined, so Mathys Tel and Brennan Johnson may stay in the XI.

Mikey Moore and Timo Werner are among Postecoglou's other options in attack. Radu Dragusin (knee) is currently Spurs' only long-term absentee.

Predicted Tottenham XI (4-3-3): Vicario; Gray, Danso, Van de Ven, Spence; Bergvall, Sarr, Kulusevski; Johnson, Tel, Richarlison

Injured: Son, Dragusin

Doubt: Maddison

Time and date: 8pm BST on Monday April 21, 2025
