There is a huge game near the bottom of the Premier League on Sunday as Everton host Nottingham Forest at Goodison Park.

The Toffees are coming off a humiliating 6-0 defeat away at Chelsea on Monday and are currently placed two spots above the relegation zone.

Forest are one place in behind in 17th, so a victory for either side could have major ramifications for the fight against the drop.

The loss against Chelsea was damaging personnel-wise, too, as Seamus Coleman, Jarrad Branthwaite and Nathan Patterson all picked up injuries in the game.

Everton are hopeful that Branthwaite can play against Forest, but the other two will miss out which means a spot at right-back for Ashley Young.

Dele Alli is a long-term absentee, while there are concerns over the fitness of Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Idrissa Gueye, though they might be asked to play through any pain in such a big game.

Key player: Everton

Abdoulaye Doucoure is Everton's top scorer this season with six Premier League goals.
