Everton vs Nottingham prediction: ENGLAND: Premier League betting tips on match 2025-12-05 15:00.
[p]Two sides fresh from midweek 1-0 away wins meet here as Everton welcome Nottingham Forest and former manager Sean Dyche to Hill Dickinson Stadium. [/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Everton bounced back impressively from their 4-1 home defeat to Newcastle last week by winning at Bournemouth. That victory means that the Toffees have now won three of their last four league matches, which has helped them climb into the top half of the table on 21 points – their highest tally at this stage since the 2020/21 campaign. Tuesday’s win was also their fourth this season by a one-goal margin, highlighting an impressive ability to grind out tight games, yet two defeats by a three-goal margin across their last three home games could be a worry for David Moyes. [/p]
[p]Forest also secured a priceless win on matchday 14, getting the better of basement boys Wolves to remain 16th. That victory means that they have lost only one of their last five league games (W3, D1), an impressive recent return for new boss Dyche following his arrival at the club in October. He will be desperate to add to that run here as he comes up against his former employers who he’s lost just once in his last four meetings against (W2, D1), while back-to-back away wins without reply – one of which came against Liverpool (3-0) – offers further hope for the Tricky Trees as they arrive on Merseyside.[/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]Everton have avoided defeat in five of the last six H2Hs (W3, D2), winning three of the past four, each with a clean sheet. The one loss in that sequence was in last season’s corresponding fixture though (2-0). [/p]
[p]Hot Stats and Streaks[/p]
[p]Everton’s last three league wins have each been accompanied by clean sheets.[/p]

[p]Key Players to Watch and Missing Players[/p]
[p]Jack Grealish scored his second goal of the season for Everton against Bournemouth – both have been matchwinners – while he is also the most fouled player in the Premier League this term pre-round (40). Morgan Gibbs-White has netted three times in his last five league games, with his most recent strike coming on Merseyside against Liverpool. He also scored in Forest’s 2-0 triumph at Everton last term. [/p]
[p]David Moyes’ selection woes are beginning to add up, with Tim Iroegbunam missing this one for Everton through suspension. Forest, with a long list of absentees of their own, have not reported any new injuries.  [/p]
