Everton face a real test of their improvement under David Moyes at high-flying Nottingham Forest this weekend.
The Toffees have lost just one of their last 11 under Moyes, though it’s also six without a win. Everton will hope to start turning draws into victories but face a Forest side closing in on Champions League qualification.

Third in the table, the news that the Premier League will be granted an additional place in the competition has boosted Forest’s hopes. Nuno Espirito Santo’s side are five points clear of sixth-placed Manchester City. Forest are aiming to bounce back from last weekend’s defeat at Aston Villa.
