You can only imagine what Daniel Levy was thinking when the final whistle blew at the City Ground on Thursday. Nuno Espirito Santo, whom he sacked after just 17 games in 2021, saw his Nottingham Forest side strengthen their Champions League hopes with a win over Spurs, further damaging Tottenham’s European ambitions.

Nuno got a measure of revenge when Anthony Elanga scored his third goal in as many games, securing a 1-0 win. Tottenham's attack, usually potent, was shut down by Forest's defense, leaving Spurs with their second consecutive Premier League defeat and their fourth loss in five matches. Despite having the second-best attack in the league, Spurs are stuck in the bottom half of the table, with just three wins from their last 12 games in all competitions. However, their home games remain thrilling, with 23 goals scored in their last three at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Meanwhile, Wolves are thriving under new boss Vitor Pereira, following up his win over Leicester with a 2-0 victory over Manchester United. Wolves, now out of the relegation zone, will look to make it three straight wins, which would be their first such run since the end of 2023. They have a strong record against Spurs, having won their last three Premier League meetings, including a 2-1 double last season.
