Everton – Michael Keane has recovered from his knock, saving Moyes from a bigger headache. Only eight on the bench, including two goalies and one youngster, Elijah Campbell who is a center half.
Nottingham Forest – Dyche has Gibbs-White back but not Murillo.
Everton play their fourth game in thirteen days when they host Nottingham Forest at Hill Dickinson Stadium on Saturday. In that spell we’ve seen the best and the worst of the Toffees as they’ve picked up two impressive wins on the road but also completely disintegrated starting in the first minute at home last weekend.
The Blues had been undefeated at their new home by the docks until imploding under a setpiece barrage against Tottenham Hotspur, and Newcastle continued in that same vein. Today’s opponent Forest also have the potential to do the same, even though they are a middling squad in most setpiece metrics.
There has been some level of rivalry between the two sides since Forest came back into the Premier League with both teams often vying for the same players during transfer windows. However, there will be an added dash of drama given that today’s visitors are being helmed by none other than Sean Dyche, who was sacked by the Blues nearly two years ago and replaced by David Moyes.

As 2024 drew to a close, the Blues slipped to a 2-0 defeat at Goodison Park which pretty much called time on the Dyche era with the Toffees. Everton then extracted their revenge winning one-nil at the City Ground in April, contributing to the late season slide that saw Forest go from third all the way to seventh when the season ended.
