Steve Hodge is looking forward to Tottenham's Capital One Cup tie with Nottingham Forest.

The former England midfielder starred for both clubs.

"Matches involving Spurs and Nottingham Forest are brilliant games - they always have been," Hodge told the Spurs website.

"The two clubs go back a long way. I could go back to playing in the first live televised Sunday afternoon game for Forest against Spurs in 1983, while the FA Cup final in 1991 is another one that springs to mind with Paul Gascoigne's involvement.

"I remember I actually scored two on my return to Tottenham in the League Cup quarter-final replay in 1989-90 as well.

"I've played probably 10 games involving Spurs and Forest over the years and they've always been either 2-2 or 4-1!

"They always were entertaining games and I'll guarantee here and now there'll be goals on Wednesday."
