Nottingham Forest, Recent FormThe 3-2 home defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion will not have sat easily with the Nottingham Forest squad, who would not have been pleased to squander all three points. In that game they had 46% possession and managed 18 attempts on goal, with 5 on target, compared to Brighton & Hove Albion who had 11 attempts and 5 on target.
When it comes to attacking power he will be justly satisfied with his squad's performances of late, which has seen them chalk up 8 goals in their last 6 matches. However, it hasn't all been going well, and questions remain about their defence with 11 goals lost in those 6 matches resulting in some crucial points dropped. They have only kept 1 clean sheet in their last 6 home games.
Having drawn 2 of their last 6 games they have at least put some points on the table, but they will not be overly happy with only 1 win.
Everton, Recent FormThe Everton squad will want to put the 3-0 home thrashing they received from Manchester United firmly behind them and may also need to find something to boost their confidence levels as a consequence. They came away from that fixture with a 50% share of the possession and clocked up 22 attempts on goal with 6 on target, in comparison to Manchester United, who managed 9 attempts on goal, 4 of which were on target.
It's fair to say he will be pretty happy with his squad's ability to find the net of late, having scored 8 goals in their last 6 matches. That said, he will also be aware there is still work to do at the back, where they have shipped 8 goals in those same matches as well as some valuable points. They have scored in 4 of their last 6 away games, but so far this season they have conceded a goal at least once in 11 of their 13 games overall.
Abdoulaye Doucouré will be hoping to create problems for Nottingham Forest in this one, having scored 3 goals in his last 6 outings on the road for Everton.
In the previous encounter between these sides, both teams grabbed goals, with the match finishing in a 2-2 draw.
In each of their last 8 games away from home in the league to Forest, The Toffees have scored at least 1 goal and will be looking to extend that run. Playing away from home, Everton have kept a clean sheet in 2 of their last 3 league games against Forest.
This fixture has produced a draw on the last 2 occasions that these 2 sides have met in the league, but Forest hold a slight psychological advantage of being unbeaten in their last 3 meetings.
Forest manager Steve Cooper has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Taiwo Awoniyi (Knee surgery), Felipe de Almeida Monteiro (Knee) and George Shelvey (Unknown) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Sean Dyche has a number of injury concerns in his Everton squad to contend with: Dele Alli (Hip), Jarrad Branthwaite (Physical discomfort), Séamus Coleman (Knee), André Gomes (Calf) and Amadou Onana (Calf)
