Nottingham Forest's position in the Premier League's top five is under threat as they travel to Tottenham Hotspur on Monday looking to reignite their Champions League charge.

Nuno Espirito Santo's side began to close in on second-placed Arsenal last month, but after losing their final two matches they have slipped to third place as the European competition heats up.

However, they have only suffered three straight losses once under Nuno, in February and March last season, and he will be determined not to lose to his former hosts on Monday.

However, Forest have struggled on the road of late, losing four of their last five Premier League away games (W1), while they lost just two of their first 11 away games this season (W7 D2).

Their main goal is to give themselves a solid foundation by strengthening their defense again. Forest have only conceded 38 goals so far, only the top two (Liverpool - 31, Arsenal - 27) have conceded fewer.

Perhaps the Easter period will help turn things around.Tricky Trees have lost just two of their last 35 league games played on Easter Monday (W21 D12).

In the top flight, their record is even better. Since losing 1-0 away to Chelsea in 1966, they have gone 16 games (W13 D3) unbeaten.

However, it wasn't a day that brought joy to Tottenham Hotspur. They lost their last two Premier League games on Easter Monday, with both losses coming at home (2-1 against Manchester United in 2006 and 2-1 against Norwich City in 2012).

However, Ange Postecoglou's side received a much-needed boost in midweek, locking up a place in the UEFA Cup semi-finals and relieving some of the pressure on the manager after a 1-0 win over Eintracht Frankfurt in the second leg.

However, last weekend's 2-4 loss to Wolves has caused Spurs more pain in the Premier League, and if this weekend's result isn't as good as they would like it to be, they could drop to 17th in the table by kick-off.

Since their 4-0 thrashing of Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium last November, only Ipswich (13 points), Leicester City (8) and Southampton (6) have fewer points than Tottenham Hotspur (18), who have lost 12 of their 20 matches after beating the defending champions (W5 D3).

Their 17 losses this season are also the most they have suffered in the league since the 2003-04 season (19, 14th place). They have also lost 16 of their last 20 Premier League games against teams that started the day in the top half of the table (W3 D1).
