Everton vs. Nottingham Forest live score, updates, highlights & lineups from Premier League
If pre-season predictions are to be believed, Saturday’s clash between Everton and Nottingham Forest is a six-pointer game for early Premier League relegation at Goodison Park.
Everton are keen not to lose a third straight game to start the Premier League season after losing results to Chelsea (1-0) and Aston Villa (2-1). That hasn’t happened since 1990.
As rumors circulate about a possible transfer of Everton star striker Anthony Gordon to Chelsea, Toffees supporters are hoping new signing Amadou Onana can give the struggling side a boost.
Newly promoted Nottingham Forest are in high gear, buoyed by last week’s inspired 1-0 win over West Ham and a host of new signings this week, spearheaded by a £42.5million deal for Morgan Gibbs-White ( $50 million) could reach. Some of the newcomers will be on the bench during the match.

90 minutes after kick-off: Here’s the latest on Dele Alli’s situation. It’s hard to see that he’s there.
Everton are waiting for Dele Alli to decide on Besikta’s proposal. The club are ready to accept both a loan deal and a permanent move for Dele but there’s still no green light on the player side. 🔵 #EFC
Details are now being discussed with Ajax to finalize the Mohamed Kudus deal very soon.

100 minutes after kick-off: It’s been a while since these two teams faced each other in a competitive match. Most recently in January 1999 when Nottingham Forest beat Everton 1-0 at Goodison. That was one of just eight Forest wins of all time in the top flight.

120 minutes after kick-off: How about this for some extra intrigue for this match? Everton reportedly tried to hijack the much-discussed deal between Morgan Gibbs and White at the last minute.
Late drama surrounding Morgan Gibbs and White’s deal. Everton worked very hard to hijack them last night, doubling the £25m fee paid by Forest. Ultimately, MGW wanted to play for Steve Cooper again and get too involved with Forest. Forest plays Everton on Saturday. #nffc
