Everton and Nottingham Forest collide in the Premier League on Saturday, with both sides looking to get back on track after suffering recent defeats. The Toffees will desperately be chasing maximum points after dropping into the bottom three after being handed a ten-point deduction.
Premier League Preview
The pressure will be back on Everton this weekend, as the Toffees chase maximum points in order to enhance their chance of avoiding relegation. They have dropped back into the bottom three spots in the league standings after being handed a ten-point deduction. However, they were well below their best in their first game since the penalty after falling to a 3-0 home defeat against Man United.
The Red Devils bossed proceedings throughout the match at Goodison Park, as Everton failed to find a clinical touch in the final third. The Toffees managed 24 shots in that defeat, but they could only hit the target on six occasions. Their home record has been a concern throughout the season, as they have picked up just four points at Goodison Park this term. Only Burnley have picked up fewer points in home matches this season.
Nottingham Forest will be keeping one eye on the battle at the bottom of the standings, as the East Midlands side are just eight points clear of the relegation spots. Forest have lost each of their previous two in the Premier League, and three of their last four.
Their most recent defeat was inflicted in dramatic fashion at the City Ground, as they fell to a 3-2 loss against Brighton. Anthony Elanga and Morgan Gibbs-White netted the goals, but Brighton were able to capitalise on defensive mistakes made by Forest in that loss.
Nottingham Forest vs Everton Head to Head
Both matches between these sides ended in draws last term. That includes a 2-2 tie in the most recent clash between the sides at the City Ground in March. Everton’s most recent win against Forest was a 2-0 success in the Premier League in 1998.
Nottingham Forest vs Everton Prediction
This looks a tricky game to call in the Premier League this weekend, as there will be pressure on both sides to bounce back to winning ways. However, it could be worthwhile to side with the draw, just as both fixtures finished last term.
