How both teams go into Everton vs Nottingham Forest

Everton have been going steady and keeping the relegation zone at arm’s length recently. As mentioned, the Toffees are still struggling for goals, failing to net in five of their last six matches. However, they’ve kept four clean sheets during that time, while also thrashing Wolves 4-0. They took a great 0-0 draw away from Arsenal, and followed that up with draws against Chelsea and Man City.

Nottingham Forest, meanwhile, have profited from Manchester City’s slump, with wins over Man Utd, Aston Villa, Brentford and Tottenham firing them into the top three. Nuno Espirito Santo deserves huge credit for the job he’s doing at the City Ground.
