Currently sitting 16th on the Premier League table, Tottenham are only a point above both West Ham United and their upcoming opponents.
With the relegation battle intensifying, securing all three points on Sunday is seen as vital for the club’s survival hopes.
However, the team has already been dealt a setback after goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario was diagnosed with a hernia that requires surgery.
The Italian shot-stopper will still feature in the match against Forest before undergoing the procedure, which is expected to sideline him for between four and six weeks.

The Ghana international has been out since January with a hamstring problem, while Maddison has been recovering from a serious anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury sustained during pre-season.
Speaking about their progress, Tudor hinted that the duo could soon begin reintegrating into team activities, as Tottenham's official website featured.
“We have these three big weeks after the game on Sunday,” Tudor explained.
“[Kudus will return for] probably some part of things with the squad, maybe in ten days? I’m not sure, we need to check, but he is progressing very well, already with the ball.
“Rodrigo [Bentancur] as well, Maddison as well. We hope the medical staff will make us some nice surprise. It will be very, very, very important to have them.”
Still on Mohamemd Kudus, former Ghana Premier League star Emmanuel Akuoko has also expressed excitement over Kudus’ possible return, especially with the national team preparing for the global showpiece.
“It will be great news for Ghana if Mohammed Kudus returns soon. He is one of our most important players, and with the World Cup approaching, every Ghanaian wants to see him fully fit and playing again,” Akuoko said.
Kulusevski future remains uncertain
While Tudor sounded optimistic about some players, the situation surrounding Dejan Kulusevski remains unclear.
The Swedish winger has yet to feature for Tottenham this season after undergoing knee surgery in May. Since then, he has not returned to training on the pitch, leaving fans wondering whether he will play again before the campaign ends.
Kulusevski’s absence also means he will miss Sweden’s World Cup play-off clash against Ukraine.
Even if Sweden qualify for the tournament, it currently appears unlikely that the winger will be fit in time to participate.
When asked whether he had any fresh updates regarding Kulusevski’s recovery timeline, Tudor remained tight-lipped.
“No, not yet,” the Spurs boss replied.
How Mohammed Kudus can rise at Tottenham
Earlier, YEN.com.gh outlined three key elements that could influence how much impact Mohammed Kudus makes at Tottenham Hotspur as he looks to open his goal account for the club.
The former West Ham United midfielder has already shown flashes of his quality during the 2025/26 campaign.
However, maintaining consistency and delivering decisive moments will be crucial if he hopes to cement his place as a standout performer in North London.
