Latest news about Tottenham and Paul Merson’s big prediction for Friday’s Premier League game against Nottingham Forest Paul Merson has admitted that he thinks Tottenham will be in the top four if their injury crisis eases before the game
At Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Spurs dominated Newcastle by a score of 4-1 to end their five-game losing streak.
Friday night’s installation starts off an ostensibly good installation run for the Lilywhites with home games against Everton and Bournemouth, in spite of their great structure, to track with a conflict against Brighton on the south coast. Ange Postecoglou’s team will likely enter the game with confidence after a comfortable victory over another major rival on Sunday.
Anyway another injury blow has since arisen encompassing Giovani Lo Celso who has dazzled as of late. The Spurs owner revealed on Thursday: This week, Gio [Lo Celso] is the only newcomer. Sadly, he experienced some discomfort during training; I have no idea what it is; as a result, he did not participate in training today and will not be available tomorrow. I hope it won’t be too serious.”
Merson is confident that Spurs will return to London with all three points following last weekend’s action at the City Ground, where they will begin the following gameweek. Last weekend, Nottingham Forest played very defensively against Wolves because Steve Cooper was under so much pressure. They just couldn’t get going. In his Sportskeeda predictions column, he wrote, “They’re playing at home but will set up like an away team considering their situation, which will play into Tottenham’s strengths.”
“I expect the Spurs to win this one because they have stopped the rot and are getting some players back to full fitness. They have been a fun team to watch as a neutral this season, despite the fact that their defense is still quite open. I anticipate an entertaining football match, and you can bet your bottom dollar that this one won’t end goalless. I’m going for a 2-1 victory because I think Tottenham will get all three points.
“The race for the top four is heavily influenced by Tottenham’s injury situation. Aston Manor are up there and might be in the title race after their explanation wins against Manchester City and Munititions stockpile. Since they have beaten two of the big boys at Villa Park and have an incredible record at home, they’ll be excited to play wherever they are. To remain there, however, they must improve their travels.”
Prediction: Tottenham Hotspur 1-2 Nottingham Forest.
