Nottingham Forest preview: Still in the battle
Sean Dyche’s Nottingham Forest had been much-improved in the last few months, following his appointment as their third manager of the campaign after Ange Postecoglou and Nuno Espirito Santo, but they remain in the battle against the drop.
Forest most recently suffered a 2-1 defeat to Manchester City at the City Ground with a competitive and battling performance, but it now means that Forest have suffered three defeats in their last four matches in the Premier League.
Everton preview: Dip in form
In his second stint in charge, but in their first season at the Hill Dickinson Stadium, David Moyes’ Everton have been steady and improved throughout this season, including a 3-0 defeat of Forest on Merseyside a few weeks ago.
However, the Toffees suffered back-to-back losses against Chelsea and Arsenal before Christmas and have then most recently shared an underwhelming goalless draw with Burnley at Turf Moor at the weekend.

Nottingham Forest vs Everton prediction
Nottingham Forest have played some genuinely good football under the management of Dyche, with the best example of that being Omari Hutchinson’s equaliser against City the other day. They face an Everton side that are perhaps a little pragmatic and key absentees or issues in the final third are making them a little tough to watch with a Forest win, especially with home advantage, seeming a good bet in a likely low-scoring encounter.
