Former Tottenham captain Gary Mabbutt is delighted seeing today's opponents Nottingham Forest back in the Premier League.

Their last Premier League meeting at the end of the last century was won by a single goal from Steffen Iversen.

Mabbutt says it's good to have the two-time European Cup winners back in the big time.

"I was delighted they won the play-off," he told the Daily Mail. "I played many times at the City Ground and still remember that drive through the back streets to the stadium, absolutely rammed with supporters.

"Both were footballing teams and fans turned up expecting to see a good game. Usually, that's what they got."
