It will be a relegation six-pointer like no other at Goodison Park this weekend. Everton, with their current eight-point deduction lie 16th on 27 points. Their opponents, Nottingham Forest have a two-point deduction and are 17th on 26 points (appeals pending in the cases of both teams). However, at these pinch-points of the season, when so much matters, it is likely both teams will view this as a game that cannot be lost. Especially with Luton sitting on 25-points just behind the two teams playing today. Everton though do have the benefit of a game in hand over both Forest and Luton in the run in.

Everton won their last home game, another relegation six-pointer with Burnley, thanks to a fortuitous goal from Dominic Calvert-Lewin. However, the Toffees were thrashed in London on Monday Night, going down to their worst defeat of the season. A 6-0 thumping at the hands of Chelsea. It means just one win in 15 for the Sean Dyche's side here ahead of a game they will feel they must get something from. Their opponents Nottingham Forest have lost just one of their last five in the Premier League, drawing three and winning one. Last weekend, they drew 2-2 with Wolves at the City Ground. Nuno Santo's team have struggled for wins of late, netting just two EPL wins in their last 13 games, both of which have come at home.
