Ahead of the opening game of the season to Newcastle United, which ended in defeat, Steve Cooper stressed that he planned to add to the wide array of signings that he had already made earlier in the summer. That said, none of those players were on show as Forest edged out West Ham on Sunday, the decisive goal coming from previous club-record signing Taiwo Awoniyi.
Although the East Midlands outfit rode their luck against the Hammers, even relying on goalkeeper Dean Henderson to save a penalty, it felt like a result which laid the foundations for more to come in the future. These two clubs are squaring off for the first time since 1999, Forest prevailing by a 1-0 scoreline at Goodison Park on that occasion.
Henderson; Worrall, Niakhate, McKenna; Williams, O’Brien, Mangala, Toffolo; Lingard; Awoniyi, Johnson
Although the Toffees stand to generate a huge fee for the academy graduate, losing Gordon’s energy in the final third is the last thing that they would want on the back of two defeats and remaining without the services of Dominic Calvert-Lewin. With Dele Alli also seemingly heading for the exit door, it could soon be all change in the Everton attack, but Frank Lampard’s side cannot afford to lose focus as they bid to get some points on the board.
While positives could be taken from the performances against Chelsea and Aston Villa, the Merseyside outfit have failed to pose enough threat in the final third on a regular basis. Even if Lampard has fewer options at his disposal on Saturday, the Englishman and his side are under pressure to deliver a result against opponents who could emerge as rivals as the season progresses.
Pickford; Holgate, Coady, Tarkowski; Patterson, Iwobi, Onana, Mykolenko; McNeil, Gordon, Gray
Nottingham Forest’s young attacking starlets have already demonstrated their affinity for finding the back of the net in pre-season, and their recent friendly exploits will serve them well against the Toffees and their lack of preparation.
Forest head into the fixture as the favourites with many people, and it is difficult to dispute that given the level of their new arrivals and Everton finding themselves under growing pressure. However, the Toffees usually find a way of rising to the occasion at Goodison Park, and we are backing them to claim a late share of the spoils.
Nottingham Forest 0-2 Everton, as predicted by us.
