Chris Sutton makes 'strange' comment as he points to problems in Nottingham Forest vs Tottenham prediction
Nottingham Forest will be aiming to make it four Premier League wins in a row to stay in the top four when they face Tottenham on Boxing Day.
Nuno’s Reds host Spurs at the City Ground on Thursday (3pm), having beaten Manchester United, Aston Villa and Brentford in their last three league matches. They currently trail only Liverpool, Chelsea and Arsenal in the table and are seven places above Tottenham, who lost 6-3 to leaders Liverpool last time out.
Making his prediction for the Boxing Day clash, pundit Chris Sutton told the BBC: “Tottenham are flagging at the moment and missing a lot of key players but it is obvious that Spurs manager Ange Postecoglou won't compromise on his playing style - he has made that clear in the past week.
“It makes this game fascinating because Nottingham Forest are in great form and they are also resilient defensively, and able to soak up pressure.
“Spurs are such a strange team that I still feel they could go to the City Ground and win by three or four goals, but you have to fancy Forest to score a couple too.
“I am very tempted to back Nuno Espirito Santo's side to win this, because they will just sit in a mid to low block and just counter-attack, which will cause Spurs problems.
“But Tottenham have got goals in them, so I am going for a draw.”
Sutton's prediction: 2-2
