Tottenham Hotspur will be looking to continue their fine form and close the gap on arch rivals Arsenal to just two points as they prepare for their trip to City Ground to face a Nottingham Forest side who have surprised a few people already this season.
Spurs are the favourites going into this match at 1/2 with Betfred while Forest are 6/1 longshots at home and a draw is 18/5. Forest do have a good run against Spurs in the Premier League winning six of their last nine meetings with the north London club in the top-tier but they have not met in the competition since 1999.
Antonio Conte's side have been solid this season already and clearly showing signs of mental strength when things have not gone so smoothly on the pitch. A solid win against Southampton started the season the right way before a dramatic 2-2 draw at Stamford Bridge showed fantastic mental strength and finish thanks to Harry Kane's late equaliser with the England captain setting the tempo against Wolves seven days later.
