Everton’s season is continuing on a strange trajectory where they can’t score and can’t win games, but have tightened up the defence so they’re not getting beaten either. Draws against Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester City are to be celebrated in any given year, but with the Toffees struggling to beat teams around them they are still sitting right above the relegation zone.
Visitors Nottingham Forest on the other hand are having a rare Midas-esque season where everything they’re touching has turned to gold. Forest sit in fourth place currently and with Manchester City, Newcastle, Aston Villa, Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United all floundering they’ve taken full advantage of the situation.

Forest and Everton were neck and neck for large parts of last season as both clubs saw the Premier League deduct points for Profit and Sustainability Regulations violations, but both survived the drop comfortably in the end.
The Blues had the edge over Forest last season doing the double, a 1-0 win thanks to Dwight McNeil at the City Ground followed by a 2-0 victory with Idrissa Gueye and McNeil again bagging the goals in the late April fixture at Goodison.
