Nottingham Forest vs Everton Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | Premier League 2024-25

West Bridgford gear up to host the Liverpool outfit.

The Matchweek 32 of the Premier League fixtures takes us to City Ground in Nottingham, where Nottingham Forest are scheduled to lock horns against Everton.

Nottingham Forest would be frustrated after losing their recent encounter against Aston Villa. Not only were their hopes of winning the championship nearly demolished, but their five-match 100% win streak was also broken. They are positioned 3rd in the Premier League points table and would be keen to seal their place in the top four as early as possible.

Nuno Espírito Santo’s performance this year for the Nottingham outfit has been nothing short of exemplary. As they host Everton in the upcoming game, they will be looking for nothing less than all three points. But they will also be wary of the threats posed by Everton, especially as the Toffees are coming off a draw against Arsenal.

Another disappointing season for Everton as they find themselves positioned 15th in the Premier League points table. A win in the next game could see them move a spot ahead of Tottenham Hotspur. However, Everton’s recent performances have been quite resilient, as they held Arsenal to a 1-1 draw.

They have secured four draws in their last five games against teams like Brentford, Manchester United, and West Ham, losing only once to their arch-rivals Liverpool. They will be looking to convert those draws into victories when they take on Nottingham Forest in the next game.

Players to Watch

Ryan Yates (Nottingham)

Ryan Yates, the 27-year-old English midfielder from Lincolnshire, has plied his trade with Nottingham Forest since his youth days. He has spent a considerable amount of time on loan at different clubs like Shrewsbury Town and Notts County as well.

He has made a total of 207 appearances for Nottingham Forest over a span of almost a decade. As Nottingham look to stabilize their position in the top four, Yates will play a crucial role in anchoring the midfield and controlling the tempo of the game.
