Prediction: Nottingham Forest 1-1 Everton

Nottingham Forest's recent struggles have kept them close to the relegation zone, despite the team below them, West Ham's own poor form. With tough matches against Aston Villa and Arsenal on the horizon, this game against Everton is crucial for them to pick up points. Everton, on the other hand, are struggling to find the net, having failed to score in their last three games. Although the Toffees are unbeaten in their last five visits to the City Ground, a draw seems the most likely outcome here.

This is a tight game to call, and it would appear a draw might be on the horizon. Nottingham Forest have certainly looked better under Sean Dyche and were unfortunate not to claim a point against Manchester City at home on Saturday. Everton will surely snap their goalless run, and a score draw looks a good bet.
