"I expect a very, very difficult game. Every time I see and analyse his team, I think they are extremely competitive. We are in a fine place - not an exceptional place, but a fine place. I expect us to go there with confidence and belief and a good chance of getting three points. I also expect it to be unbelievably difficult. It's nice to share experiences with good friends and colleagues like [Dyche]."
"It's a different animal when you're coming back to the Premier League and facing the likes of Tottenham, who have an excellent away record. We want to step on and get that winning mentality in the whole squad. We've had to use the squad in Utrecht and we've brought them back - hopefully - fit and well."
"Forest could rotate again after making nine changes for the 2-1 win in the Netherlands on Thursday, when Igor Jesus struck the 88th-minute winner. Defenders Oleksandr Zinchenko and Murillo returned from injury, as did midfielder Douglas Luiz, who played the first half. Goalkeeper Matz Sels has been ever-present in this season's Premier League but did not travel to Utrecht as a precaution over a groin issue. Captain Ryan Yates has a potentially long-term hamstring injury."
Nottingham Forest aim for a third win in four matches and to move further from the Premier League relegation zone when Tottenham visit the City Ground on Sunday.

Forest face the challenge of returning to top-flight competition after heavy squad rotation in Utrecht and aim to instil a winning mentality across the group. Several players returned from injury, a goalkeeper missed travel as a precaution, and a captain faces a potential long-term hamstring issue.
