Everton v Nottingham Forest

Everton vs Nottingham Forest Preview

The Sunday lunchtime fixture in the Premier League features this upcoming relegation ‘six-pointer' between hosts Everton and visitors Nottingham Forest when the two teams face off at Goodison Park with Everton looking to set the record straight following their 6-0 mauling at the hands of Chelsea last weekend, while Nottingham Forest will be looking to build upon last weekend's 2-2 draw at home with Wolves.

Both Everton and Nottingham Forest are still embroiled in the relegation battle towards the bottom of the Premier League table and Everton have managed to capture just one win from their last 15 matches overall in the English top flight which came in the form of a recent 1-0 home win against Burnley.

However, Sean Dyche's side have also been handed no fewer than eight defeats within this 15-game period but The Toffees have also managed to pick up points here and there as they have been involved in a number of stalemates in the past few weeks which actually total six draws within this period as well.

Following a worrying spell of four defeats on the trot at home from the start of the season, Everton have lost just a further three games within their subsequent 11 home games at Goodison Park which includes picking up four wins along the way.

Nottingham Forest have also found league wins hard to come by this season overall while in recent times, Forest have managed to capture just two wins from their last 13 matches overall in the English top flight which came in the shape of victories over London clubs West Ham and Fulham, but the Tricky Trees have also slipped to a number of losses as well.

Indeed, the east midlands club have been handed seven defeats within these last 13 matches overall and four of these six losses were inflicted upon Nuno Espirito Santo's side on their travels after being dealt defeats on the road at Brentford, Aston Villa, Brighton and Tottenham.

The bigger picture shows Nottingham Forest have picked up just four wins from their previous 22 games in the top flight which is a very poor win ratio indeed and one that could ultimately seal Nottingham Forest's doom in their battle against the drop.

Results away from home have contributed to Forest's poor run and their troubles are a direct result of claiming just two wins from their last 26 outings on the road and further trouble could be lurking in the shape of Everton on Sunday lunchtime.

Everton v Nottingham Forest Verdict

Everton have enjoyed the ascendency in recent exchanges against Nottingham Forest as The Toffees have lost just once in their last eight meetings so the hosts look in good shape to claim the vital three points in this clash.
