Last season, the hosts finished four points behind the relegation zone, but this season may end differently. The Reds are eight points clear of the relegation zone, with three wins and four draws from thirteen games. Their home form is the main reason for this upward trend, as they have lost only one of their six home league games this season.

Everton, who have finished in the bottom five for two consecutive seasons, faced a nervy end to the season after a slow start. Despite a ten-point deduction for breaching transfer rules, the Toffees found form before the international break. Their first game following the deduction was against United, who were expected to take home at least a point due to their inconsistency. However, the game ended poorly with a 0-3 defeat for the hosts.

Nottingham Forest manager Steve Cooper will be without Taiwo Awoniyi due to injury, but the hosts’ only injury issue is Callum Hudson-Odoi, who featured as a substitute after recovering from an injury. Hudson-Odoi is pushing for a start this weekend.

André Gomes, nearing his return from injury, will miss Everton’s match against Manchester United due to lack of fitness. Amadou Onana and Dele Alli are also absent due to calf and muscle injuries respectively. Ashley Young will be available this weekend after picking up his fifth yellow card of the campaign against Manchester United.
