Nottingham Forest, currently 17th in the English Premier League with 18 points, are under significant pressure as they battle against relegation, having recently suffered two consecutive losses. Everton sits in 11th place with 25 points, safely clear of the relegation zone, but have struggled to score in their last three matches. Nottingham Forest has won only once in their last five matches, with four defeats. However, they demonstrate some strength at home, as evidenced by their 3-0 victory over Tottenham. Everton's recent form includes two wins, one draw, and three losses in their last six games. On the road, Everton has lost only once in their last five away matches, showing relatively stable performances. Nottingham Forest's home record is three wins, one draw, and five losses, scoring 12 goals and conceding 16. Everton, on the other hand, has yet to win away from home, with only one draw and four losses, and has failed to score in their last three away games. Everton has the upper hand in their recent head-to-head record against Nottingham Forest, with four wins, one draw, and one loss in their last six encounters, including a 3-0 victory in their earlier meeting this season. Everton is also unbeaten in their last five away matches against Nottingham Forest. Nottingham Forest will be without several key players due to injury or the Africa Cup of Nations, including Wood, Boly, and Sangare. Nottingham Forest's attack relies on the passing and long-range shots of Gibbs-White (3 goals, 4 assists), with contributions from Jesus and Hutchinson. Their defence has conceded five goals in the last three matches, with noticeable vulnerabilities in aerial duels and set-piece situations. Everton's attack depends on the performance of Calvert-Lewin (5 goals), whose form has been inconsistent. Their midfield lacks creativity, and their attack has stalled in the last three matches. Everton's defence is generally solid (20 goals conceded in 18 matches), but their full-backs are slow to track back, and their set-piece defence on the road is unreliable. Prediction: Everton +0.25 Score prediction: 1:1, 0:1
