• Tottenham Hotspur vs Everton Prediction: Premier League Match on 23.12.2023

Key Highlights

Nottingham Forest hovers just above the relegation zone after a poor run of form. They have won just three times in their 17 rounds of fixtures this season, drawing five times and losing nine matches.

In their last five matches, they lost four times and drew once; this run of form is the catalyst for the firing of Steve Cooper. 

The hope for the powers that be at Nottingham Forest is that Espirito Santo will hit the ground running and get the City Ground side back to winning and moving away from the relegation zone.

Bournemouth have been in brilliant form as they have eased away from the relegation zone and moved into midtable.

Bet here

Bournemouth won four times in their last five matches and drew once. The unbeaten run has seen them bolster their points tally to 19 and moved them to 14th on the table, 10 points away from the drop zone.

Injury Report

Nottingham Forest are without striker Taiwo Awoniyi (groin) and right-back Serge Aurier (calf strain).

Bournemouth will be without Ruan Fredericks, Darren Randolph, Tyler Adams, and Emiliano Marcondes. 

Prediction

Nottingham Forest will have the new manager’s bounce, they will bounce back to winning ways and take the three points on offer.
