Nottingham Forest and Everton lock horns for the second time this month with both sides eager to put recent frustrations behind them and close out the year on a positive note. Forest may sit five points clear of the relegation zone, but their form has dipped alarmingly, with three defeats from their last four Premier League outings, Softfootball reports.
Saturdays narrow 2-1 loss to Manchester City was another reminder of their fragility, and returning to the City Ground does not automatically guarantee relief, given they have managed just three wins from their last 13 home league games.
That said, history offers Forest a glimmer of optimism. They have developed a habit of finishing the calendar year strongly, winning their final league game in both 2023 and 2024, with last seasons victory coming against none other than Everton. Replicating that feat would ease mounting pressure and restore some belief among the home supporters.
