Tottenham Hotspur forward Brennan Johnson has said how he feels about playing against Nottingham Forest at the City Ground on Friday evening.

So, what has Brennan Johnson said about playing against Nottingham Forest tonight? Let’s take a look.

Brennan Johnson looking forward to playing vs Nottingham Forest

Well, Nottingham Forest will take on Tottenham Hotspur at the City Ground in the Premier League on Friday evening.

Brennan Johnson is likely to start for Spurs. The Wales international forward has established himself as an important player for the North London club in recent weeks and has backed to get even better.

The 22-year-old joined Tottenham from Forest in the summer of 2023. The Reds received a transfer fee of £47.5 million for Johnson.

While Johnson is looking forward to playing against Forest at the City Ground on Friday evening, his main priority is to help Spurs win the Premier League match.

Johnson told Tottenham’s official website: “Really excited. I think one of those that you check when you first sign and I think obviously the game against Arsenal but after that I was looking to coming back to the City Ground and playing there again. 

“It’s been unbelievable since I’ve been here and hopefully we can go there and have a good performance.”

Nottingham Forest could beat Tottenham Hotspur

I believe that Nottingham Forest can beat Tottenham Hotspur. In my view, playing at home will give Steve Cooper’s side an advantage, and Spurs are also vulnerable at the back.

Yes, Spurs are very good going on the attack. They scored three goals against Manchester City and hammered Newcastle United this month.

However, Ange Postecoglou’s side also concede goals. Tottenham have shipped in 23 goals in 16 Premier League matches this season.

So, Spurs can let in goals against Forest at the City Ground on Friday evening. I believe that if the Reds keep it tight at the back, then they could eke out a narrow win.
