Follow live coverage as Everton face Nottingham Forest today in the Premier League.

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.

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.
