Overview
- Kick-off is Tuesday 30 December at 7:30pm at the City Ground, with live coverage on Sky Sports Cricket and streaming via Sky Go and NOW.
- Forest enter the match five points above the Premier League relegation zone after a recent 2-1 loss to Manchester City.
- Forest are without striker Chris Wood, with Ola Aina, Dan Ndoye and Ryan Yates also missing, while Willy Boly and Ibrahim Sangare are away at the Africa Cup of Nations.
- Everton travel short on options as Idrissa Gueye and Iliman Ndiaye are on international duty, Seamus Coleman and Jarrad Braithwaite are sidelined, and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall is a doubt.
- Bookmakers make Forest slight favourites, and preview analysis points to Everton’s recent scoring drought with many tipping a draw or under 2.5 goals.
