Forest trap for Conte is ready, but so are the Spurs

Not a single loss in the first three rounds, a goal difference of 7:3, a die-hard approach and plenty of character shown when chasing shadows against Chelsea – that’s the rough sketch of Tottenham’s early season.Antonio Conte’s slot made some obvious improvements compared to last year, and not so shy anymore when talking about Premier League title hopes and dreams. New allies Kane and Perisic tear down all-Portuguese WolvesTo continue their successful path to glory, they ought to outplay Nottingham Forest today at the City Ground, in the most exciting fixture of the Sunday EPL menu. The Tricky Trees have already broken all the records in terms of new signings in a single transfer window – if we’re right, then we’re talking about as many as 19 new players!Watch out when strolling around the Maasai Market cause the Tricky Trees might sign you as a wingerGibbs What?! Forest compulsively spend £42.5m on Wolves midfielder Gibbs-WhiteTwo more Africans in the ForrestSome say that’s not some rascally spending of their capricious owner Evangelos Marinakis, but the only chance for the two-time European champions to survive in the top flight.##NAJAVA_MECA_6596472##So far, it’s been a true rollercoaster for them: one loss, one victory, and one draw in the opening rounds. If they follow that pattern, now it’s time for another defeat. And on the positive side, no one could blame them for losing to title contenders.Djed SpursOn the other hand, the fact Kane, Son, Richarlison and the rest of the Spurs’ crew are favourites to bag a win probably serves as a perfect motivation for the home team to step up and try to stun us all.##EDITORS_CHOICE##The attacking axis made of Neco Williams, Jesse Lingard, and Taiwo Awoniyi promises a lot. It probably suggests Forest will fight for points through the defence, but even more by attacking cleverly.What will be Conte’s response to it? Nothing less than some fearless counter-pressing.PREMIER LEAGUE – MATCHDAY 4SaturdaySouthampton – Manchester United 0-1 (0-0)/Fernandes 55/Brentford – Everton 1-1 (0-1)/Janelt 84 – Gordon 24/Brighton – Leeds 1-0 (0-0)/Gross 66/Chelsea – Leicester 2-1 (0-0)/Sterling 47, 63 – Barnes 66/Liverpool – Bournemouth 9-0 (5-0)/Diaz 3, 85, Elliott 6, Alexander-Arnold 28, Firmino 31, 62, Van Dijk 45, Mepham 46 og/Manchester City – Crystal Palace 4-2 (0-2)/Silva 53, Haaland 62, 70, 81 – Stones 4 og, Andersen 21/Arsenal – Fulham 2-1 (0-0)/Odegaard 64, Gabriel 85 – Mitrovic 56/Sunday16.00: (2.40) Aston Villa (3.35) West Ham (3.20)16.00: (2.85) Wolverhampton (3.15) Newcastle (2.75)18.30: (7.50) Nottingham Forest (4.40) Tottenham (1.50)***odds are subject to change
