Ange Postecoglou has made three changes to his Tottenham side to face Nottingham Forest in the Boxing Day Premier League clash at the City Ground.
Postecoglou finally has a couple of fresh players to call upon in the shape of both midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur and left-back Destiny Udogie. The Spurs boss has decided to give Djed Spence his fourth consecutive start, and a place again the side he spent a great loan season with, which means a rest for Pedro Porro, who has played more minutes than any Tottenham player this campaign.
With Bentancur back from his seven-game suspension, Yves Bissouma steps down to the bench and Brennan Johnson returns against his old club, after last season's return to Nottingham ended with a nasty head injury for the Wales international. Spurs vice-captain James Maddison gets a rest on the bench amid this busy run of fixtures.
Here's the Tottenham team that we reckon Postecoglou will select to face Nuno Espirito Santo's Forest side: Forster; Spence, Dragusin, Gray, Udogie; Sarr, Bentancur, Kulusevski; Johnson, Solanke, Son. Subs: Austin, Reguilon, Porro, Bissouma, Maddison, Bergvall, Olusesi, Werner, Lankshear.
