Tottenham arrive at the City Ground under pressure, having lost their opening two Premier League matches of the season without finding the net once. Roberto de Zerbi's side now face a Nottingham Forest team that has developed a genuine hold over them, according to BBC Sport, having won each of the last four meetings between the clubs.
For Spurs, Saturday's fixture represents a chance to arrest a worrying start and end their goal drought against opponents who clearly have their number. Forest, meanwhile, will look to extend their dominant recent record and pile further pressure on De Zerbi so early in the campaign.
BBC Sport's preview highlights just how stark the numbers are for Tottenham — no goals in two league outings, and no wins over Forest in their last four attempts. Whether that trend continues will go a long way to shaping the narrative around De Zerbi's opening weeks in charge.
