Nottingham Forest go into tonight’s Premier League clash with Everton knowing that a win is needed at any cost.
The Reds were solid despite defeat against Manchester City, but there can be no points awarded for playing well, and a win is needed to get Forest back on track.
Forest equalised in the game through Omari Hutchinson, but it was City who won the match, with Rayan Cherki scoring a late winner at the City Ground.
Ahead of the game, we’ve looked at how Sean Dyche might line his charges up for the visit to Trentside of the Toffees…
Nottingham Forest predicted team to play Everton
In truth, it doesn’t appear as though Forest boss Dyche is in the mood to be making too many changes to his team from one week to the next at the moment.
With that in mind, we do expect something quite similar to what we’ve seen in recent fixtures against City and Fulham.
In goal, we anticipate that John Victor keeps his place after a surprisingly quiet afternoon against City, with one really good save produced from Phil Foden.
Across the back four, Nicolo Savona, Nikola Milenkovic, Murillo and Neco Williams should all keep their place, with Ola Aina not yet fit to return.

In midfield, there could be a single change, with Douglas Luiz coming in for Nicolas Dominguez, who could be the fall guy as Dyche looks for the perfect partner for Elliot Anderson.
In the final third, we don’t see there being much change either, with Morgan Gibbs-White set to captain the team and Omari Hutchinson and Callum Hudson-Odoi playing on the flanks.
Upfront, it would appear that Arnaud Kalimuendo is going to leave in January, so as a result, the Reds will likely start Igor Jesus to spearhead the attack.
