Everton will be hoping to win their third Premier League away game in a row after defeating West Ham and Crystal Palace in their previous two matches on the road. The Toffees were recently plunged into the relegation zone due to a 10-point deduction but could climb up to 18th if they secure the three points today. Everton haven’t lost at The City Ground since 1995, and Sean Dyche is unbeaten against Forest in his last seven games as a manager.
