"I guess you've seen Sean Dyche's teams over the years. Are they easy or difficult to play against? Difficult. Very difficult. I expect a very, very difficult game against a team that's managed by a good colleague, a friend of mine in the game. And every single time I see his team, everything I'm analysing, they're extremely competitive. Then they play home. That's a difficult place to go."
"Recent wins over Leeds United, Liverpool and Wolves have seen Forest climb out of the bottom three, though they have lost two of their last three league outings. However, after a 3-0 defeat at Everton last week, Forest's confidence was boosted by a 2-1 win over Utrecht in the Europa League. That result saw them move up to 11th in the league phase of the competition, just two points off the automatic last 16 places with two games to go."
Tottenham sit 11th in the Premier League and have struggled for consistency this season. Spurs ended a five-game top-flight winless run with a 2-0 victory over Brentford and also beat Slavia Prague 3-0 in the Champions League. Thomas Frank expects a very difficult away match at Nottingham Forest, noting Sean Dyche's teams are extremely competitive and the City Ground is a tough venue. Dyche has beaten Spurs only twice in 17 Premier League meetings, both while managing Burnley. Forest have moved out of the bottom three but have lost two of their last three league games; a Europa League win over Utrecht boosted confidence.
