Nottingham Forest vs Everton
Everton come away from The City Ground with all three points after securing a 1-0 win against Forest. It was a scrappy first half with neither side creating too many chances. The home side controlled the possession in the opening 45 minutes but couldn't find a breakthrough, and it was the Toffees who come out of the blocks firing in the second half. Dyche's men took the lead through McNeil, who fired his shot into the top corner after some excellent work from Harrison on the right. Cooper's side threw everything at it in the final stages of the game, but they couldn't find an equaliser as Everton secured their third consecutive Premier League away win. Forest will be looking to bounce back against Fulham at Craven Cottage on Wednesday, while Everton host Newcastle United at Goodison Park. That's all for today, goodbye!

Despite Everton enjoying plenty of the ball before their goal, the possession has flipped on its head, with Forest having 58.3 per cent since the second half got underway. However, they've tested Pickford with just two shots on target, and aren't creating many clear-cut chances.

Murillo drives through the middle of the pitch and unleashes an ambitious effort from range, but Pickford gets down well to palm it away. Forest then win a free-kick which Gibbs-White takes, but his delivery is poor and Everton once again are able to deal with it. After a spell of pressure, the Toffees are awarded a free-kick, as Felipe makes another foul.

Dyche makes his first change of the game as young striker Chermiti comes on in search of his first goal for the club. Beto is the player to make way.

McNeil turns well inside the Forest half and plays a first-time pass into Beto. The Portuguese forward spins past Felipe with ease, but the defender drags him to the floor. It was a brave decision from Felipe considering he's already on a yellow, but the referee opts not to give him a second. He might count himself a little lucky there.
Nottingham Forest vs Everton
Gibbs-White drifts out to the left and manages to get on the ball inside the Everton box. He pulls it back towards the edge of the penalty area and Yates looks to strike it first time, but Garner flings himself in front of the shot to block. Superb defending from the former Forest loanee.
