Sutton's predictions: Nottingham Forest v Tottenhampublished at 11:01 BST
11:01 BST
Nottingham Forest are waiting for their first win under Oliver Glasner but I felt they were unlucky to lose against Leeds and also to only draw at Liverpool.
I have been very disappointed with Roberto de Zerbi's Tottenham so far, however, and not just because of their poor results.
When he came in at Brighton, De Zerbi built an amazing team in a short space of time and they were great to watch even if they made a few mistakes along the way.
In contrast, we still don't know what his Spurs team are about, even though they have spent an absolute fortune on players.
I think that's on De Zerbi because, although new players take time to gel, his side have put in two really insipid performances so far.
He has put that down to the team not being fully fit and blamed their pre-season schedule, but they should still be doing much better than they are - with no points and no goals so far.
Other clubs, with new managers as well as lots of new players, look much more organised so it is not an excuse.
Still, Spurs have surely got to improve soon, which is why I have got them down to pick up a first point here.
Nottingham Forest v Tottenham Hotspur: Key stats and talking pointspublished at 19:03 BST 4 September
19:03 BST 4 September
Roberto de Zerbi's Tottenham, who have lost both league games this season without scoring, now face a Nottingham Forest side who have beaten them in each of their last four encounters. BBC Sport takes a look at the key themes ahead of Saturday's meeting at the City Ground (15:00 BST).
"It's the biggest problem, it's the biggest challenge and it's the biggest target to find the right mentality," De Zerbi said as he reflected on Spurs' defeat to Newcastle that left them bottom of the table.
No points or goals from their two league games so far is not the start they envisaged after spending more than £300m on 10 new players this summer, but their beleaguered boss pointedly said: "You can't buy mentality in the transfer market."
Despite their squad being refreshed by nearly a full team of new recruits, scars clearly remain at the club following their back-to-back 17th-place finishes and a dismal record of just 21 wins from 78 top-flight games (D16, L41) since the start of the 2024-25 season.
Another telling statistic that points towards a lack of fight is that it's nearly two years since the last time they won a Premier League game from going 1-0 down. They've lost 28 and drawn eight after conceding first dating back to a 4-1 victory over Aston Villa in November 2024.
De Zerbi's team selections have also raised eyebrows so far. Mitigation comes in the form of a few key players not yet being fully fit, but picking Pedro Porro as an advanced right winger, Conor Gallagher as a 10 against Brentford and chopping and changing his midfield is yet to pay dividends.
They will now attempt to avoid losing their first three league games in a campaign for only the fifth time in their history and for only the second time without scoring since the start of the 1974-75 season.
The Lilywhites will have to rectify their poor recent record against a Nottingham Forest side who are targeting a fifth league win in a row against the north Londoners for the very first time, having won both league meetings 3-0 last season.
After they opened the season with successive defeats to Leeds, Forest steadied the ship with an impressive showing in a 2-2 draw with Liverpool at Anfield in which their xG of 2.3 comfortably outstripped that of the hosts' 1.61.
To the fore in that game was Morgan Gibbs-White, with the former Spurs target scoring his 13th Premier League goal of 2026 - the highest figure of any top-flight player this year.
While the Tricky Trees may not have secured all of their transfer targets, a significantly quieter summer than in recent years still brought in quality to the City Ground.
Following the mega sale of Elliot Anderson, they actually turned in a profit despite spending nearly £120m themselves on the likes of club record signing Liam Delap, Sporting Lisbon defender Ousmane Diomande and one of the Premier League's best right-backs in Daniel Munoz.
Head coach Oliver Glasner will be keen to get the club back to winning ways at home given they've managed just one victory in their last 12 top-flight games at the City Ground.
Following their loss to Leeds on the opening weekend they will also be desperate to protect an impressive record of having not lost their first two home games of a top-flight campaign since 1924-25.
One of the tactical tweaks that's starting to emerge as Glasner moulds his team is them becoming more direct with their passing. Despite a small sample size of two matches, 20.9% of their passes have gone long which is up from last season's average of just 12.5%.

Neco Williams started his career at Liverpool and also had a loan spell at Fulham in 2022
Defender Neco Williams has signed a new contract at Nottingham Forest until 2030.
The club had been looking to extend the Wales international's contract, despite him only signing another last summer.
It is essentially a one-year extension with his previous deal expiring in 2029.
Tottenham had been interested but Forest were looking for a significant fee and Williams, 25, has now committed his future to the City Ground.
George Syrianos, chief football officer, said: "Neco has been one of the best players in his position in the Premier League.
"His reliability, consistency and continued determination to improve explain why he has become such a loved player by both his team-mates and the supporters.
"We want to continue developing and growing as a club, and a big part of that process is making sure our top-performing players are committed to the club.
"We are delighted he has signed a new deal and look forward to seeing him continue in a Forest shirt."
Left-back Williams has made 163 appearances for Forest, scoring four goals, since arriving from Liverpool for £17m in 2022.
🎧Is Forest's squad stronger or just smaller?published at 18:52 BST 4 September

A new episode of the Shut Up And Show More Football is now available to listen to and download on BBC Sounds.
In it, BBC Radio Nottingham's David Jackson and Colin Fray discuss Forest's squad after deadline day, plus they chat with new club-record £50m signing Liam Delap.
"The sale of Elliot Anderson was inevitable from the end of last season and nobody was surprised he went for fabulous money," Fray told the podcast.
"It fits the sales profile that Forest have started to do over the past few years with one big sale. It was Anthony Elanga last year and Brennan Johnson the year before.
"It's almost as if this is they way they're going about it and they expect to have to make a big sale to keep spending the way that they have done.
"After making that big sale it's about making sure the other prized assets stay."

'I really believe in the manager and the club' - Delappublished at 14:38 BST 4 September

Liam Delap says Oliver Glasner played a big part in his decision to sign for Nottingham Forest because he feels he "can really improve" under his coaching.
The 23-year-old striker was made available for sale this summer by Chelsea after he scored just one Premier League goal in a 2025-26 campaign disrupted by shoulder and hamstring injuries.
Delap's frustrating season was off the back of a hugely successful one at Ipswich Town in which he scored 12 goals in 37 Premier League games.
Determined to return to his former form, Delap said he chose the City Ground this summer because "the manager and the club have got a really good trajectory".
"I really believe in the manager and the club," Delap told East Midlands Today. "And with the right support I think we can do really well.
"I've spoken to him [Glasner] a few times now and every time I've been impressed. He can really improve me as a player and that's why I'm here."
On how he dealt with the challenges of last season, Delap said: "You always have that motivation inside, but football isn't as easy as just going straight to the top.
"You probably learn a lot more when things are bad, and of course, it was a difficult season.
"I have incredible support around me and that really helps to keep my mind in a good place."
'Gibbs-White is a special player'published at 10:32 BST 4 September

There is no doubt former Wolves youngster Morgan Gibbs-White is one of the Premier League's form players this calendar year.
He has been directly involved in 20 club goals in 2026 (15 goals, five assists), which is the joint-most of any Premier League player in all competitions - along with Erling Haaland.
Yet Gibbs-White has outscored the Manchester City striker, who has 10, with the Forest's star's 13 Premier League goals in 2026 the most of any player.
It was a vastly improved performance from Gibbs-White and Forest at Anfield on Saturday, after their opening two defeats by Leeds in the Premier League and Carabao Cup - with the skipper missing the 2-0 cup defeat through injury.
On his return at Anfield he covered 11.4km, the third highest of the team, and was tied first with 16 sprints - while his expected goals of 0.79 also topped Forest's stats.
"He is not just defined by the number of goals he scored or assists," said Forest boss Oliver Glasner.
"I know how he is working for the team out of possession, how he creates the space with some runs and movements.
"It is as important as scoring a goal. When you need a special moment in the game you usually need a special player, and Morgan is definitely a special player."
