Nott'm Forest vs. Everton - prediction, team news, lineups

Champions League hopefuls Nottingham Forest welcome a stubborn Everton outfit to the City Ground in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon. A rare defeat last weekend has allowed the chasing pack to close the gap on third-place Forest, while Everton proved difficult opponents for Arsenal at Goodison Park. Losing 2-1 away to Aston Villa last weekend saw Forest's seven-game unbeaten league run come to an end, and loosened their grip on the Champions League places slightly. Nuno Espirito Santo's men remain third, but the sides below them all made ground during matchday 31, with Chelsea, Newcastle United and Aston Villa taking maximum points, while Manchester City still lurk menacingly. Newcastle have a game in hand this coming week and could close the gap to just one point with a win in that, while many still predict Man City to close down the current five-point gap, meaning it is imperative Forest maintain their stunning form up until the end of the campaign. Forest have an astonishingly strong record agains
