The Premier League title race is far from over, but we also have an almost equally interesting battle at the bottom of the table. Everton and Nottingham are currently above the drop zone but with only two and one point more, respectively, so the game on Sunday could be crucial for both teams' hopes.
Everton had another turbulent season. Last season, the head coach, Sean Dyche, saved the team from relegation. We will see in the next few weeks if he can do that again. Everton won only one of the last 12 matches, so they must find better form for the upcoming ties. In the previous game, Dyche's team suffered the hardest defeat of the season (6-0 against Chelsea).
Nottingham Forest also have problems with form as they won only one of the last nine matches. In the previous game, Nottingham Forest played 2-2 at home against Wolves. The home side had significantly better goal-scoring chances, as they had an xG of 1.94, while guests had 1.01. Still, Nuno Espirito's team picked up only one point.
Everton vs Nottingham Forest pick: Under 2.5 goals
Everton scored only three goals in the last five matches. Also, three of those five games went under 2.5 goals. On the other hand, Nottingham Forest are struggling with scoring on the road, as they scored only two goals in the last three road games. Under 2.5 goals should be the best bet for this tie.

Nottingham Forest team news
Nottingham Forest have a much better situation with injuries. They are without Taiwo Awoniyi and Willy Boly for the game at Goodison Park, while Anthony Elanga is questionable to play and his status will be clearer closer to the kickoff.
