Nottingham Forest vs Everton Prediction
Nottingham Forest are currently 13th in the league, and have won one of their last five league games. Manager Steve Cooper deserves credit for gelling together a brand new squad under quick notice while playing Premier League football, but there still remains the fear of being involved in a relegation battle; the club is four points behind 18-placed Everton, who have played a game more.
Some of Nottingham Forest's transfer dealings have not made sense, but the fact of the matter is that the club needed that massive injection of quality in order to stand a chance of avoiding relegation. They have achieved that, and on current standings, should play Premier League football next season as well.
Everton, on the other hand, are in trouble. Appointing Sean Dyche was a sensible move, but his arrival will not solve off-field problems that involve the club's board. By appointing Dyche, Everton have given themselves a fighting chance of survival, but the fact that this is where Everton, one of England's historic clubs, are right now, is an indictment of the behaviour of the board and overall ownership.
