Latest Everton vs Nottingham team news
Jarrad Branthwaite, Seamus Coleman (both with hamstring injuries) and Merlin Rohl (hernia) remain sidelined due to injury. The Forest game could also come too soon for Michael Keane, who missed the midweek win against Bournemouth due to fitness issues.
Meanwhile, Idrissa Gueye will serve his second of three matches as a suspension, and Tim Iroegbunam will also be sidelined after receiving his fifth yellow card of the season against Bournemouth.
Moyes is facing squad difficulties in several positions, and it is unclear whether Nathan Patterson will be fit enough to start at right-back after recently returning from a long-term foot injury.
James Garner may have to continue playing right-back temporarily, with Jake O'Brien partnering James Tarkowski in central defense. Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and Carlos Alvarez could be tasked with playing deeper in midfield, while Dwight McNeil is likely to be given a rare opportunity in an attacking midfield role.
On the Nottingham Forest side, Ola Aina, Dilane Bakwa, Douglas Luiz (all with thigh injuries), Chris Wood, Angus Gunn (knee), Oleksandr Zinchenko (groin), and Taiwo Awoniyi (muscle) remain absent.
Morgan Gibbs-White has a minor back injury but is expected to recover in time and could play as an attacking midfielder behind Elliot Anderson – who is being monitored by several teams – alongside either Ibrahim Sangare or Ryan Yates.
Defender Murillo's availability will be decided later, after he missed the midweek win against Wolves due to illness and a hamstring injury. If Murillo is not fit to return, Morato and Nikola Milenkovic will continue to partner in central defense.

Latest Everton vs Nottingham football match prediction
David Moyes was well aware that Bournemouth's Vitality Stadium hadn't been a "lucky place" for Everton in recent years, but after seven consecutive defeats there in all competitions, The Toffees finally secured a narrow 1-0 victory on Tuesday night.
In a tight match with few clear-cut chances, Jack Grealish's deflected shot in the 78th minute was enough for Everton to secure all three points and rediscover the joy of winning, just three days after their humiliating 1-4 home defeat to Newcastle United.
Apart from the slip-up against Newcastle, Moyes probably has little to complain about regarding the team's recent form, as they have won three of their last four games to climb to 10th place in the Premier League table and are now just three points behind the top four.
The last time Everton had 21 points from 14 Premier League rounds was in the 2020-21 season (6 wins, 3 draws, 5 losses). Four of their six wins this season have been by a single goal, but they have lost by at least three goals in two of their last three home games.
Everton also have reason to be optimistic, having won seven of their last 11 Premier League encounters against Nottingham Forest (two draws, two defeats) and keeping a clean sheet in all seven of those wins, including three of the last four.
Sean Dyche deserves credit for stabilizing things at Nottingham Forest after Ange Postecoglou's disastrous 39-day tenure. Since taking over at the end of October, he has led the team to five wins and two draws in nine matches across all competitions (with two defeats).
The Tricky Trees have won three of their last four Premier League games – only Aston Villa (four wins) have been in better form during that period. Most recently, they bounced back from a 0-2 defeat to Brighton with a 1-0 win away at Wolves on Wednesday night.
Igor Jesus' sixth goal of the season, and his first Premier League goal, was enough to secure three points for Forest. Dyche shared that he was "delighted" that the team "found a way to win" despite not being at their best at Molineux.
Ranked 16th in the table and three points above the relegation zone, Forest entered their match against Everton with confidence after winning at Merseyside this season: a 3-0 victory over reigning champions Liverpool at Anfield two weeks prior.
Dyche is now preparing to face his former club Everton – where he has won less than 31% of his 84 matches in charge between January 2023 and 2025. Prior to that, at Burnley, Dyche only won two of 14 encounters with Everton and lost five of seven away matches. Meanwhile, Forest's last win at Everton was in December 2024 (2-0).
