13’ – Savona cross is deep into the Everton box, and Jesus gets over Jake O’Brien but it’s wide. JOB gave up too easily there.
8’ – Grealish’s first-time pass finds KDH, and he plays it into the inside left channel to.. an underlapping Michael Keane! His first shot is blocked and the second flies wide. Incredible how the centrehalf was the most forward player there!
Ndoye goes down holding his face, though it was Tarky barging him in the back. The ref Chris Kavanagh is talking to both captains about tempering things.
6’ – KDH tugged down twice by Hutchison before the foul is given. Quite a bit of controversy about defending players going over like that, but in this case the Forest player had his hands all over the midfielder.
2’ – Everton lead early! And it’s that man Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall again, in-form and killing it! A Cruyff-turn to beat Ndoye, and more of a cross than anything level with the six-yard box, but it looks to go off Milenkovic’s head and the Blues lead 1-0.

1’ – James Garner gets us underway! Savona booked 25 seconds in, brings down Jack Grealish, wow. The crowd are immediately into it. Almost level with the 18-yard line, and Garner’s ball into the box is headed away.
Starting Lineups
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.
Match Preview
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.

Last Meeting
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.
