Key Factors
Everton's severe offensive drought, having failed to score in their last three Premier League matches, is likely to persist against a Sean Dyche-managed Nottingham Forest side that has recently demonstrated home defensive resilience with a 3-0 clean sheet against Tottenham.
The absence of Everton's defensive anchor Jarrad Branthwaite and the experienced Seamus Coleman creates a structural weakness in the Toffees' backline that Morgan Gibbs-White and Callum Hudson-Odoi are positioned to exploit through high-frequency creative transitions.
With both squads depleted by AFCON departures (Sangaré and Boly for Forest; Ndiaye and Gueye for Everton), Nottingham Forest's superior depth in the final third—specifically through new arrival Igor Jesus—will prove decisive against an Everton attack that has 'toiled in hopelessness' without its talismans.
Injuries & Absentees
Nottingham Forest are missing top scorer Chris Wood (knee), Ola Aina (hamstring), and Ryan Yates (hamstring), alongside AFCON absentees Sangaré and Boly. Everton are without Jarrad Branthwaite (hamstring), Seamus Coleman (hamstring), and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall (hamstring), with Iliman Ndiaye and Idrissa Gueye away on international duty.
