As well as becoming the first manager since Sammy Chung in 1977 to win his first two top-flight tussles in charge, Pereira can look to the work of his predecessors to provide a confidence boost ahead of their journey to the capital.
It’s always a challenge. You’ve seen that in the last two games. You always saw they had the quality in the group.

Just over 15 minutes to go until kick-off
By Tamara Prenn
Dragusin fit despite an ankle knock on Boxing Day is a boost for Spurs… he continues with Gray at the back.
No place in the team for Maddison for the second game running… he is Tottenham’s top scorer in the Premier League with eight but doesn’t get in the team when all options are available in forward areas.
… and Happy Twixmas, the strangest of periods between Boxing Day and New Year’s Eve. We might have all been short of something to do yesterday, but this afternoon the football returns – and it’s easy to pretend it’s still Saturday, as none of the 3pm kick-offs are televised.

Paul Brown on Palace’s equaliser
By Tamara Prenn
With both teams pushing for those precious, precious European spots, today’s meeting could provide an important bellwether as to who looks the likeliest to need to brush up on their foreign languages come next September.
Almost unbelievably, it looks like crisis-hit Man City might actually win a match.
Bournemouth are lucky to have 11 men on the pitch. The Fulham players are furious after Ryan Christie caught Antonee Robinson with his studs but Peter Brookes on VAR doesn’t think it’s a clear and obvious error by the referee and Christie survives with just a booking.
No it’s just another challenging time, there are always challenging times, it never runs smoothly. We’ve still got the opportunityt to get out of this.
Pereira on Hwang returning to the side:

Postecoglou and Pereira speak ahead of KO
By Tamara Prenn
What a decision from Pereira to bring Hwang back into the side! A well-worked freekick by the visitors is cut to the player at the top of the box, and it’s sumptuously rote to put Wolves ahead.

Elsewhere: remember him?

Southampton have just about deserved their lead. They’ve been spiky and competitive, pressed high and have not been afraid to go direct. Home fans momentarily stunned as Tyler Dibling tucked that one away. Should be more goals in this one.

Goal:Who else for Nottingham Forest? (Wood 15′)
By Tamara Prenn
Dave Grohl is shouting loudly over the tannoy about being ‘on to the next one’, the Thai red curry in the press room looked suspiciously like it had leftover turkey in it, and everyone looks a little hungover – yes, it’s Crystal Palace’s first match at Selhurst Park since Christmas, and Southampton are the visitors.
Just like Grohl, Saints have been ‘searching for something’, in their case a first league win since the start of November. Are they ‘getting close’?
Whatever they do today won’t be enough to move them off the bottom, but new boss Ivan Juric has to start somewhere.

Joe Bernstein on that late Forest change

Wolves have the early brightness on the road, with Cunha looking to sneak through to the edge of the box. Gray goes flying in for a late tackle, handing Wolves the early freekick.

And dare I say, still in a festive mood…
Nobody should be surprised Forest have struck first through Chris Wood. It is the 15th time Nuno’s team has scored the opening goal this season – the highest number in the Premier League.

Breaking:TEAM NEWS – How Tottenham and Wolves line up
By Tamara Prenn
On the stroke of half-time, Spurs have their redemption immediately. Excellent one-two between Johnson and Kulusevski, with the Sweden international sending a delicate cut-back pass inside the box straight to his team-mate’s feet.
While Mike Dean isn’t so sure on Sky Sports News, those in Stockley Park have made their decision – and the goal stands.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin can start talking to overseas clubs from Wednesday and he’s been relegated to the bench with Armando Broja getting his first start under Sean Dyche.
Everton have 13 players either on loan out of contract in the summer and six of them are in the manager’s XI today – Ashley Young, Idrissa Gueye, Abdoulaye Doucoure, Orel Mangala, Jack Harrison and Broja.

Time for Spurs to sparkle – again
By Tamara Prenn
It’s something we’ve been showing throughout the season. The same intention, the same intensity. we want to show (these) to fight for three points.
For all of Bournemouth’s puffing, it’s Fulham who break the deadlock, as Jimenez sprints into the fore to pick off the corner and he’s completely free to force it into the back of Kepa Arrizabalaga’s net.

Goal:Wolves draw first blood! (Hwang 6′)
By Tamara Prenn
Before kick-off Palace played Enter Sandman by Metallica. They are one of Death Metal fan Ivan Juric’s favourite bands and it looked like tempting fate when Southampton scored the opener.
But a controversial equaliser meant Juric was first down the tunnel at half time, furiously chewing gum, head down with a face like thunder.
Sean Dyche’s sides have never been short of winter grit, and this December is no different. Everton have secured three vital draws on the bounce both home and away – but even more impressively, they’ve done so against Arsenal, Chelsea, and Manchester City.

Paul Brown has a mood update at Selhurst Park after that Palace goal
By Tamara Prenn
The goal from Chris Woods was the only attempt on target from either team in the first half. Defences have been generally on top as you would have suspected.
Once ahead, Forest are a tough nut to crack and Dominic Calvert-Lewin will almost certainly be needed by Everton in the second half

A note on that Fulham goal from Craven Cottage

Goal:… and now Bournemouth have even less! (Jimenez 40′)
By Tamara Prenn
Another stalemate – or even a win on home soil – would shore up their gap from the relegation places after a nervy autumn. But Forest are in a strong position to puncture their unbeaten run, fresh from another important win against Spurs on Boxing Day.
But as the South Korea international steps up to the spot, he looks ever so slightly rusty – and Jose Sa reads his run so far, diving the right way to knock the strike out of play.
Late change for Forest with Murillo injured in warm-up and Ramon Sosa taking his place. It means Nuno has ripped up his three-at-the-back plan with Morgan Gibbs-White also switching from a wide position into central midfield. It’ll be interesting to see if the disruption effects the visitors.

Here we go!
By Tamara Prenn
But with its opening fast approaching, what is it exactly that your club plans do next month?
The Forest stalwart has been injured in the warm-up, forcing a late change for Nuno.
… for our only remaining goalless tie with just under 30 minutes played this afternoon. But he’s expecting a cracker.
If the result stays this way, Forest will be second in the standings overnight. We live in exciting times.

It’s a deserved equaliser and a lovely Bournemouth goal too. Andoni Iraola is out of his seat, pointing at the goalscorer Evanilson, who makes a lovely run before finishing superbly past Leno. Game on at Craven Cottage.
