Everton – Nottingham Forest

Everton host Nottingham Forest in what promises to be a tightly contested fixture, with the Toffees sitting eighth on six points after one win and three draws, boasting a modest +2 goal difference from five goals scored and three conceded. Forest sit just four places below them in twelfth, having collected five points from one victory, two draws and a single loss, their goal tally perfectly balanced at four for and four against. Both sides will be eager to improve their positions as the season’s early momentum hangs in the balance, and a win for either club could see Everton edge closer to the top half while Forest push back into the chase for European spots.
