When is Tottenham vs Nottingham Forest? Why Spurs' Premier League game in April 2024 has been moved image

Tottenham suffered a setback in their ambitions to secure Champions League qualification when they were held to a 1-1 draw by West Ham on Tuesday.

Ange Postecoglou’s side are fifth in the table behind Aston Villa, with a handy cushion over Manchester United in sixth.

However, only a top-four finish guarantees Champions League football, with UEFA’s co-efficient calculations potentially providing a route into Europe’s top competition for the team that comes fifth.

Nottingham Forest’s aims are not so lofty but a 3-1 home win against Luton Town in midweek lifted Nuno Espirito Santo’s fourth-bottom team away from the relegation zone.

Spurs host Forest and their former manager on matchday 32 this weekend, but there has been a late tweak to the date and kickoff time.

Why was Tottenham vs Nottingham Forest match moved?

Spurs against Forest was due to take place on Monday, April 8 at 20:00 BST but was moved forward at less than two week’s notice due to strikes affecting the London Underground and train services. The local authority responsible for the area surrounding Tottenham's stadium deemed it was not safe to stage the game as planned.

A statement from the Premier League read: "The change has been made due to matters beyond the League's control, namely the decision to implement rail and tube strikes on Monday, April 8 and the subsequent reduction in available travel services.

"This has resulted in the local authority's Safety Advisory Group determining that it is not possible to stage the match with the required levels of safety for attending fans."
