Nottingham Forest face Everton in the Premier League this afternoon and the Reds have now confirmed their team.

The Reds drew 2-2 with Wolves last weekend with Everton getting spanked 6-0 by Chelsea on Monday night.

A win for Forest today would see them leapfrog Everton and move closer to safety in the Premier League table.

However, with the Toffees having a point advantage on Forest they will also see today as a big opportunity.

With kick-off on the horizon, Nuno Espirito Santo has now confirmed his team to face Everton this afternoon.

Everton vs Nottingham Forest – The tale of the tape

The reverse fixture when these two teams met at the City Ground in December ended in a 1-0 win for Everton.

Dwight McNeil scored the only goal of the game in the second half to pile the pressure on Steve Cooper.

Now, Sean Dyche will go head-to-head with Espirito Santo with both teams absolutely desperate to get a big three points.

Forest were pretty good in drawing with Wolves last week but caught Matheus Cunha bang in form.

The challenge for Forest today is to cut out the silly errors defensively and from set pieces that have blighted them all season.

Espirito Santo will be aware of just how important today is for Forest and hopefully, the away fans can get behind the team today.

In total, Everton have played Forest 131 times with 56 being won by the Toffees and 47 by Forest. 28 have ended in stalemate.
