Nottingham Forest have been the surprise package in the Premier League this season, and their form has enabled fans to dream of a shock European finish this term.
The Tricky Trees come into the Boxing Day round of matches sitting in the Champions League spots, and they have won each of their last three fixtures in the English top-flight.
Tottenham will be chasing a response under Ange Postecoglou after conceding six at home to Liverpool on Sunday. Their defensive record raises questions this week after allowing ten in their last three in the Premier League.
