# Tottenham announce starting XI for Nottingham Forest clash as Savio starts

**Tottenham Hotspur are set to take on Nottingham Forest at the City Ground in what promises to be an intriguing game of Premier League football.**

Roberto De Zerbi’s side come into the game on the back of successive defeats and will look to get their first points of the new season with a positive display.

The Lilywhites made ten new signings during the summer transfer window and all of them, barring Tosin Adarabioyo, are in the matchday squad for the game.

Mateus Fernandes is on the bench, though, while Brazilian attacker Savio is back in the starting XI after missing the game last weekend.

**Tottenham’s confirmed XI vs Nottingham Forest:** Antonin Kinsky; Pedro Porro, Jan Paul van Hecke, Micky van de Ven, Destiny Udogie; Rodrigo Bentancur, Sandro Tonali, Conor Gallagher; Savio, Omar Marmoush, Mathys Tel
