It’s the third round in the EFL Cup and this time out Nottingham Forest will host Premier League giants Tottenham Hotspur in a one-off encounter. Now Spurs are coming into this game after a 2-1 defeat by Liverpool at their home stadium.

They have also lost thrice in their last 5 PL matches which is simply astonishing. So Conte does know that his side needs to get back the winning momentum and win in the Cup against a side like Nottingham Forest might just turn their season around. Though they’ll miss Son in this game because he went under surgery, they still have the quality to come up ahead at the final whistle.

However, beating Nottingham Forest at their home stadium won’t be that easy cause although Forest are currently in the relegation zone, they have been playing fairly well at home. They haven’t lost their last 3 home games and they also defeated the mighty Liverpool with the support of their home crowd.

Along with Liverpool, the likes of West Ham United and Aston Villa haven’t managed to defeat Cooper’s side away from home. The last time out when these two teams faced each other, it resulted in a Spurs win and hence Forest would be looking to take revenge.

So with the added motivation to take revenge from Conte’s men and with the home advantage, Nottingham are surely capable of pulling off a shock result in the third round of the EFL Cup. All in all, it would be an interesting match.
