Will De Zerbi Make Any Changes? | 4-2-3-1 Tottenham Hotspur Predicted Lineup Vs Nottingham Forest | OneFootball

Tottenham Hotspur will lock horns with Nottingham Forest at the City Ground on Saturday as they look to secure a good result on the road in the Premier League. Spurs suffered a poor 2-0 loss at the hands of Newcastle United recently, so they would be eager to bounce back by securing a win this weekend.

Roberto De Zerbi will set his side up in a 4-2-3-1 formation and is expected to keep changes to a minimum for this game. Therefore, Omar Marmoush could get another chance to impress as a centre-forward for the North London club up top.

4-2-3-1 Tottenham Hotspur Predicted Lineup To Face Nottingham Forest

Defence

Antonin Kinsky will operate in between the sticks for Spurs after he conceded two goals in his last appearance. Micky van de Ven will function alongside Jan Paul van Hecke at the heart of De Zerbi’s defence as they try to keep the Nottingham attackers frustrated during the 90 minutes.

Archie Gray will operate as the right-back, while Andy Robertson hopes to catch the eye on the other side as the left-back. Both of them will get the license to go forward and express themselves inside the opponent’s half.

Marcos Senesi and Destiny Udogie will offer cover for the defensive positions on the bench.

Midfield

Rodrigo Bentancur and Sandro Tonali will anchor the midfield for Tottenham as they look to win the 50-50 battles in the middle of the park and offer some decent service to their teammates up top.

The talented trio of Mathys Tel, Mateus Fernandes and Pedro Porro will operate just ahead of them as part of De Zerbi’s attack. All three of them need to be at their best if Spurs are to secure a positive result away at Nottingham this weekend.

Conor Gallagher and Mikey Moore will have to be content with a spot on the bench and might come on to make an impact in the second 45 minutes if required.

Attack

Omar Marmoush will spearhead Tottenham’s attack up top. He has to figure out a way to cause some problems for the Nottingham defenders this weekend.

Dominic Solanke will be named on the bench as he waits for his chance to influence the game in the latter stages if needed.
