Everton will clash heads with Nottingham Forest at the City Ground this Saturday evening as they look to earn a good result on the road in the Premier League. The Toffees suffered a 3-0 defeat at the hands of Manchester United recently, so they would be eager to put in a decent display this weekend.
Sean Dyche will opt for a 4-4-1-1 formation and is expected to name a strong team for this game. The Everton head coach could be inclined to keep changes to a minimum for this game.
