Newcastle and Everton won almost the same number of points this year, but the former European champions are in a much better situation because the Toffees experienced a 10-point deduction. While Forest sits outside the relegation zone, Everton is tied at the bottom of the standings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Forest has slowed down in recent times, having three defeats in the past four games. The defense emerged as the problem in the past several weeks, because Nottingham allowed at least two goals in four of the previous five meetings, which is too much for any team in the Premiership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nottingham has only one Premiership defeat at home this year, and that happened last weekend when they lost to Brighton 2-3 at home. The former European champs had a lead but failed to keep it. Other than that, they’ve posted two triumphs and three ties in six appearances at City Ground. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
