Tottenham will visit the City Ground for the first time in over 17 years on Sunday afternoon when they take on Nottingham Forest in the Premier League. Winning promotion via the Championship play-offs back in May, Steve Cooper's side have had a decent start to the campaign and grabbed a point at Everton last time out.
Beating West Ham in their previous home game, Forest will now be looking to spring another big surprise against Antonio Conte's Spurs team. Although not at their best last weekend as they beat Wolves 1-0, the Lilywhites have the chance to stretch their unbeaten run and maintain their place towards the top of the Premier League table.
So who would our Tottenham reporters select in their starting XI to face Nottingham Forest? You can find out their selections below.

The games are going to come thick and fast for Tottenham over the next two months, starting on Sunday with a tricky showdown against Nottingham Forest. The boss has already admitted that he will start to rotate once the games start to pick up, but this may be the better game to make changes rather than Wednesday's London derby vs West Ham.
With the back three remaining the same as Cristian Romero is still absent, it may be wise to alternate the wing-backs and start Matt Doherty and Ryan Sessegnon ahead of Emerson Royal and Ivan Perisic. In midfield, Yves Bissouma could do with a start and that may mean it is Rodrigo Bentancur who drops out rather than Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg.
Although Son has been struggling in front of goal recently, chances will come his way against Nottingham Forest and he should start. That means Richarlison has to bide his time on the bench to begin with but he will be introduced early in the second half if they are struggling.
Guest's team: Lloris; Sanchez, Dier, Davies; Doherty, Hojbjerg, Bissouma, Sessegnon; Kulusevski, Kane, Son.

Next week could be when we start to see Conte make some rotations to his starting XI, with the first mid-week game of the season next Wednesday. Therefore, I think Conte could keep much of the same line-up for Tottenham's trip to Nottingham Forest.
Perisic made a solid impact against Wolves, but I can see Sessegnon coming back in and the Croatian potentially starting against West Ham instead. Despite mixed opinions, Sanchez did well stepping in for Romero and I think he deserves to remain in the starting squad.
Elsewhere a few changes could be made, bringing in the likes of Bissouma and Richarlison for Bentancur and Son. Conte has already spoken about choosing players who know him better and isn't worried about the South Korean's slow start, so a very similar line-up to what has already been seen, wouldn't surprise me.
de Duve's team: Lloris; Sanchez, Dier, Davies; Royal, Hojbjerg, Bentancur, Sessegnon; Kulusevski, Kane, Son.
