Nottingham vs Tottenham form
Nottingham went through a dark period at the start of the season due to unnecessary rifts off the pitch. It took two managerial changes for things to gradually stabilize at City Ground.
The timely arrival of Sean Dyche, the "tinkerer," has truly created a positive turning point. Having struggled near the bottom of the table after 11 rounds, Forest has now temporarily escaped the relegation zone.
Although they haven't yet escaped the relegation zone, positive signs are clearly evident in Nottingham's recent form. In their last 11 matches under the former Everton and Burnley manager, the Nottingham team has won 6, drawn 2, and lost 3.
In the Premier League, Nottingham currently sit 17th, two points above the relegation zone. Meanwhile, in the Europa League, the City Ground side are 11th, just two points behind the top eight.
Perhaps the top priority for Sean Dyche and his team right now will be the Premier League. The narrow gap to the bottom of the table forces Forest to work harder to accumulate more points.
Before their 0-2 defeat to Brighton in their last home game, Nottingham had gone four matches unbeaten at home. However, in the domestic league, Morgan Gibbs-White and his teammates have not made the most of their home advantage, having won only one, drawn one, and lost four of their last six home games.
For their part, Tottenham are enjoying a relatively peaceful start to December. Leaving behind a run of three consecutive defeats, Spurs began the final month of the year with a 2-2 draw at the formidable St James' Park, where they had lost all four previous visits.
In their next two matches, coach Thomas Frank's team made good use of their home advantage to crush Brentford (2-0) and Slavia Prague (3-0) respectively. The morale of the Spurs has certainly improved significantly after their recent unbeaten run.
Since moving to Tottenham, manager Frank has never won three consecutive matches with his new team. This weekend's trip to City Ground will offer some hope of extending the winning streak for the North London club.
Last season, Spurs lost both of their encounters with Nottingham. However, in their last three away matches against Forest in the Premier League, the Spurs have won two and lost one.
