A first Premier League win in 23 years now secured, Nottingham Forest go in search of a victory on the road.
Steve Cooper has talked up the importance of the City Ground to the Reds’ survival hopes but points away against out-of-form sides such as Everton could be worth their weight in gold as well.
Having been outclassed by Newcastle United on the opening weekend, Forest proved they’re deserving of their seat at the top table of English football with a victory over West Ham United on Sunday thanks to a goal from Taiwo Awoniyi – one of a host of summer signings.
While the Premier League new boys have been busy in the transfer market, it’s Everton’s inaction that is drawing concern and means they head into this weekend’s game at Goodison Park with Salomon Rondon as their first-choice striker.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin remains sidelined due to injury and the Toffees are yet to properly replace Richarlison, who was sold to Spurs at the start of July.
Their 2-1 defeat at the hands of Aston Villa last weekend did not make pretty viewing and a third defeat in three games would surely mean the pressure really starts to build on Frank Lampard.

Our prediction: Everton v Nottingham Forest
What an occasion it was at the City Ground last weekend. The impact of that victory on Cooper’s squad should not be underestimated as it will have left them feeling like they really belong at this level.
Lewis O’Brien was absolutely everywhere for the Reds and if he is able to have a similar influence at Goodison Park on Saturday then it could be a fruitful afternoon for the visitors.
That Lucas Digne turning the ball in his own net is Everton’s only goal of the season speaks to their struggles in the final third at the moment.
This is the sort of away day that Nottingham Forest fans will have been dreaming of for years and getting one over on Lampard, a former Derby County boss, would really be the icing on the cake.
Our prediction: Everton 1-2 Nottingham Forest (14/1 at bet365)
