Everton will travel to City Ground to play against Nottingham Forest, managed by former boss Sean Dyche. Earlier this month, the Toffees defeated Forest 3-0, marking their fourth win in the last five encounters with them. Here’s the predicted lineup for Everton against Nottingham Forest.
Everton Predicted Lineup vs Nottingham Forest Against Former Manager, Sean Dyche
Recent Lineup for Everton
Everton recently drew 0-0 with Burnley while using their typical 4-2-3-1 formation. Fans were surprised to see star winger Jack Grealish absent from the matchday squad, as manager David Moyes stated he was unwell. Tyler Dibling took his place on the wing, marking his second Premier League start since joining from Southampton.
Jordan Pickford was in goal, with a back line including Jake O’Brien, James Tarkowski, Michael Keane, and Vitaliy Mykolenko. James Garner and Tim Iroegbunam played as defensive midfielders, while Dwight McNeil, Carlos Alcaraz, and Dibling handled the attacking midfield roles. Beto led the attack as he stepped in for Thierno Barry.
Everton’s Current Form and Strategies
David Moyes highlighted the competitive nature of the league, mentioning, “It’s very tough. Win two, and you could rise to fifth; lose two, and you might fall to 15th.”
The draw against Burnley was essential for Everton to boost their points total, and they will aim to keep accumulating points to stay in or close to the top half of the standings.
In their last five away outings, Everton has lost just once, thanks to their solid defensive approach, which has resulted in clean sheets. However, they are struggling to secure convincing wins due to their dependence on set pieces for scoring.
Injuries, Suspensions, and AFCON Updates
Everton continues to be without several key players due to long-term injuries. Seamus Coleman, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, and Jarrad Branthwaite remain unfit, and Moyes is not optimistic about their return for the upcoming match against Forest.
Additionally, Iliman Ndiaye and Idrissa Gueye are still participating in the African Cup of Nations with Senegal, making them unavailable for the midweek match.
