Nottingham Forest travel to Merseyside on Saturday to face Everton at the Hill Dickinson Stadium (kick-off 3pm GMT).
Sean Dyche’s side return to the region for the second time in the space of two weeks following last month’s 3-0 win against Liverpool at Anfield.
Forest recorded a 1-0 win over Wolves on Wednesday this week, meaning the Reds have suffered just one defeat in seven games in all competitions.
Igor Jesus’ first Premier League goal proved the difference on the night at Molineux, where the three points moved the Reds to within two points of 15th-place Fulham.
The Toffees, meanwhile, go into the contest sitting 10th in the Premier League following their 1-0 win over AFC Bournemouth in midweek.
David Moyes’ side’s last home fixture came against Newcastle United, where the Magpies claimed the spoils with a 4-1 win.

Everton currently sit 10th in the Premier League, just three points outside the top four places in the division.
The Toffees have suffered one defeat in their last five matches in all competitions, with Jack Grealish’s solitary goal against Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium on Tuesday proving the difference.
David Moyes guided Everton to 13th in the league last season after returning to Merseyside following an 11-year spell with the club earlier in his career.
Iliman Ndiaye leads the goalscoring charts for the Toffees this season with four goals to his name in 2025/26.
