I’m expecting Wood to be back for Sat

Thats the best news of the day even if he's on the bench.

I think I’m right in saying that of all the Teams in the Premier League you have to go further back than all the others to find a win against Everton (at the WFCG)?

i believe we last beat them here in 1995.
Strangely despite their upturn in form Im more confident facing them now than when they were playing under Dyche.

Got to have this as a must win though

Completely agree

He will be up against that butcher Tarkowski.

Hadn’t seen that challenge and just watched it. PGMOL are not fit for purpose. And he should be suspended for our match.  Let’s get Taiwo on to give him some honest physicality.

It was x-rated.

Nuno on attacking fitness, fighting for 'something great' and Everton

Nottingham Forest boss Nuno Espirito Santo has been speaking to the media before Saturday's Premier League game at home against Everton (15:00 BST).

Here are the key lines from his news conference:

Nuno was asked to provide an update on the fitness of attacking trio Chris Wood, Anthony Elanga and Taiwo Awoniyi: "We are still assessing all of them. They are struggling with problems, some small some not so small. We have one more day and then we will see if they are available for the game."

He added he is "hopeful" each will be fit: "It could be all of them, it could be none. It depends on how they recover and how they feel."

Asked how much of a miss Wood has been, he said: "Of course Chris has given us so many things. Unfortunately at the same time happened the situation of Awoniyi. If that didn't happen I think we would be more balanced. In the absence of two strikers it is more difficult to prepare."

On the fifth-placed Premier League position confirmed to qualify for the Champions League next season: "It's in our hands. It opens one more space so there is more contenders but for us it doesn't change anything. Our approach will be the same. I think we have a great opportunity to achieve something great."

He anticipates a hard game against Everton: "What we see now is a good team that plays with intensity. They have good players and have been achieving good results. The organisation is all there. Of course with the talent they have they will cause us a lot of problems on Saturday."

When asked about the difference between last season and this, Nuno said: "It is different pressure. Last season we were fighting for survival, now we are fighting for something magical. We are always with pressure but confident. We are enjoying and we have to keep going."

On looking to record a fifth consecutive home clean sheet: "That's the beginning of everything, the beginning of us as a team. Being compact, being solid, not giving much to our opponents, and trying to take advantage of our talent."

Do we think there is a chance we could play the back 3 like we did against Villa

Morato Milenkovic Murillo
Williams Yates Anderson Moreno

My guess would be Sosa would start instead of Morato, if all 3 are out.
