Forest travel to Merseyside searching for a fifth consecutive Premier League victory, a feat they have not achieved since 1995.

Everton’s tough run of fixtures continues against Nottingham Forest following recent trips to Arsenal and Manchester City and a home match against Chelsea. The Toffees have come out of those three matches unbeaten with three draws and two clean sheets following a 4-0 thrashing of Wolves at the start of the month.

Nottingham Forest travel to Merseyside searching for a fifth consecutive Premier League victory, a feat they have not achieved since 1995. After a 1-0 victory over Tottenham, Forest guaranteed they would be in the top four at the turn of the year for the first time since the 1987-1988 season under Brian Clough. The Tricky Trees are in excellent form at a pivotal moment in the season despite striker Chris Wood only scoring twice in his last seven games. Winger Anthony Elanga has stepped up, netting in the past three games, two of which were match winning strikes. Forest though have only won one of their last nine meetings with Everton.

Everton’s tough run of fixtures continues against Nottingham Forest following recent trips to Arsenal and Manchester City and a home match against Chelsea. The Toffees have come out of those three matches unbeaten with three draws and two clean sheets following a 4-0 thrashing of Wolves at the start of the month. They could equal their longest Premier League unbeaten run of five games under manager Sean Dyche and ensure they enter the new year above the bottom three. Dyche also has an excellent record against Forest having not lost in his last eight league matches as a manager against the East Midlands side.
