Hello and welcome to what Guardian hilarities are calling the Deduction Derby!

Both Everton and Forest are in all sorts, 16th and 17th respectively and clear of the bottom two only because of the tremendous poverty of Burnley and Sheffield United. But Luton are only two points behind the former and one the latter, so with the gap to Brentford in 15th place now standing at five, one of the three will be relegated.

But which? Everton were horrendous against Chelsea on Monday night, their performance of such ineptitude that no one could’ve complained if they’d been relegated for it there and then. However the Goodison crowd has saved them in each of the last two seasons and, though their 32 goals in 32 games is the second-worst in the division, their defensive record of 48 conceded is bettered only by the top three, and no one would be surprised if Sean Dyche inspired them to just enough 1-0 home wins to secure their safety.

Forest, on the other hand, are a different kettle of incompetence. They’ve actually got a fair few decent players, particularly in attack, problem being sorting them out into a team is not easily done. But, though two of their last four games are against Manchester City and Chelsea, the other two are against the aforementioned Sheffield United and Burnley, so even if they lose today, they’ll still have scope to do the necessary.

Similar, though, is so of Everton, who must face both Liverpool Arsenal, but also have a home encounter with Sheffield United and an away trip to Luton – which might prove definitive. Or, put another way, it’s impossible to predict how this will shake out, which means plenty of fun for those of us with no skin in the game – and, for those who do, the experience of being alive. This is going to be gloriously awful!

important events
13 minutes McNeil slid a fastball into the box for Calvert-Lewin, but Murillo quickly beat the ball out of danger.
11 minutes It’s still early, but I think this match will be decided by subs. Both sides have options and I wouldn’t be surprised if they cancel each other out in his first hour. Forest have more pace, but Everton’s physicality dilutes that advantage.
10 minutes Given that the ball was in the bottom left, Gomez went for it, and now you may be wondering why he even bothered to do that, but his miserable shot missed the front post. It was cleared with.
9 minutes Another long ball into the box but Tarkowski was underneath and Wood did enough to send the ball in behind. One corner gives birth to another.
7 minutes There was a fierce scuffle before going into the corner, with McNeil flying towards the backstick and the height of the ball giving Forrest time to get into the road and block various lanes. The ball is cleared.
6 minutes Now! A poor pass from Niahate leaves Danilo in trouble, Harrison springs up and his cross is sent in behind for a corner. Can Everton do something?
5 minutes Forest start moving, Reina finds Gibbs-White, Williams finds Williams…he again nothing happens and his shot is blocked.
4 minutes But as I type, Gibbs-White darts forward and flicks wide towards Williams… Williams can’t do anything from there and eventually his cross reaches Wood. , Wood’s volley did not faze Pickford.
3 minutes Slow start, both teams trying to get used to the ball before trying anything else. So just passing along the back four and humping forward and not much else.
1 minute Goodison will be sorely missed. It’s a classic football field, designed in a time when being there was everything. I don’t know if Archibald Leach talked about visibility and his Wi-Fi.
1 minute We’re leaving!
“I dedicate a penny to the memory of Gonzalo Montiel.” Russell Yong says: “In less than two years, he has gone from being a literal World Cup winner with Argentina and a Europa League winner with Sevilla to a final bench watcher at a club that is at the bottom of the Premier League and fighting for relegation. A large-scale incident that left people wondering, “What on earth happened there?” For me. “
I think we are not paying enough attention to the situation when evaluating players.
“Good morning from Pittsburgh!” Eric Peterson begins. “Enjoying breakfast before Everton (?) makes me lose my appetite.” He has scored three goals in the last five games, and has scored three goals in his last five games, including a keeper’s drop cross, a penalty kick and a block from a wobbly keeper’s long ball. No matter how horrible Forest are at corner kicks, it’s Everton’s thing if they can make them look good in attack.Moreover, Forest’s attacking prowess makes Chelsea’s splurge in the bucket. Gulp. (By the way, you’re looking at Roger Ramgett, I’m looking at Ivan Drago Jr.) He scores.”)
…and here they come!
Our team is trapped in a tunnel…
It also: Cup final rehearsal. Spurs currently lead United 2-1.
Meanwhile, what is going on with Amadou Onana? Many people think highly of him, but unfortunately I don’t understand it. He’s the same with Sean Dyche, who missed important games. I know he’s big and can carry the ball, but I just don’t see the feet that you look for in a player in his position. Please tell me why it is wrong.
Morgan Gibbs-White, then. I really love him – his energy, his engine, his imagination, his attitude. There are few teams in the league that wouldn’t be improved by his presence, so it’s questionable whether he can develop into a proper box-to-boxer rather than sticking as an attacking midfielder.
Email! “Relegation didn’t hurt Manchester United at all,” says Duncan Edwards. . In the meantime, I’m sure they would benefit if someone could convince Jordan Pickford to wear a fitted kit rather than a kid’s size, which I suspect he wouldn’t actually be able to take off. Dew. ”
That would be the current situation. Everton can’t afford to get discouraged as they have to pay for a new club, and they don’t have any players they are confident will be good enough to move up the table immediately.
Nuno Espirito Santo doesn’t give much away, but He explained that Dominguez was the player he thought was best suited for today’s match, but did not elaborate on why. The players are ready, he says.
Where can I find the game? Forest are bad at defending set-pieces, while Everton, especially James Tarkowski, are good at attacking set-pieces. Even if there wasn’t a plan, even if there was a plan, it seems unlikely that they would score a goal like that and narrowly win at home.
Otherwise, Everton will aim for the feed paul wilkinson Calvert-Lewin crosses and Abdoulaye Doucoure also hits a shot into the box.
Forest, on the other hand, will want to play against Wood. The trident behind him of Gibbs-White, Hudson-Odoi and Reina will look very troublesome for such a lowly team. They will want their wide players to maintain width and play around Everton’s fairly self-paced midfield.
Chris Wood said Forest are working on getting better and more consistent. They did well against Wolves last week. There aren’t that many games left, so all they can do is focus on what they can control. Being deducted points doesn’t bother them. He knows the home crowd helps, but also points out that they can also give the players a push and that is what Forest are trying to achieve.
Branthwaite looks no different from his American comic counterpart; He admits Monday’s capitulation was difficult to accept, but the best thing about football is that you have the opportunity to bounce back quickly. He thinks the home crowd will support the team.
Meanwhile, Forest made two changes following their 2-2 draw with Wolves. Moussa Niakte will replace Andrew Omobamidele at centre-back, while Nicolas Dominguez will replace Ryan Yates at the base of midfield.
So let’s get back to those teams. Dyche made four changes after Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Idrissa Gayet returned from injury against Chelsea. Beto and Onana fall out. Otherwise, Jimmy Garner will also be on the bench, Andre Gomez will come on as a substitute, and Seamus Coleman’s groin injury means his place will go to Ashley Young. Jarrod Branthwaite is fit enough to start.
Ah, Sean Dyche. Andy Hinchcliffe has pointed out that Everton’s defensive performance has deteriorated recently. Dyche explains that finding the balance between attack and defense is difficult. Asked about Goodison’s ability to keep the team in such good shape over the past two seasons, he says he would like to think the players were also involved.
the latest news: He arrived while I was still outside. I was rightly criticized for my lack of organizational skills.
Yeah, I’m going to take the cover off the chair and take it to the dry cleaners. His visit is imminent, because I value my life. Then you’ll wonder what these teams mean.

preamble
Hello. Welcome to the “deduction derby” as the merry folks at the Guardian call it!
Everton and Forest are in poor form, sitting 16th and 17th respectively, but it’s only Burnley and Sheffield United’s extreme poverty that keep them out of the bottom two. However, with Luton only two points behind the former and one point behind the latter, there is now a five-point gap between them and Brentford in 15th place, making them one of the top three. intention be demoted.
But which one? Everton were awful against Chelsea on Monday night and their performance was so incompetent that no one could have complained if they had been demoted on the spot. But the Goodison crowd has saved them in each of the last two seasons, and while their 32 goals in 32 games is the second-worst in the division, only the top three have bettered their defensive record of 48 goals conceded. and no one will surpass it. It would be amazing if Sean Dyche could inspire them to win 1-0 at home and stay safe.
The forest, on the other hand, is another cauldron of incompetence. In fact, they have quite a few talented players, especially in attack, but integrating them into the team is not easy. However, two of the last four games have been against Manchester City and Chelsea, while the other two are against Sheffield United and Burnley, so even if we lose today we have room to do what we need to do. There may still be.
But the same goes for Everton, who will have to face Sheffield United at home and away to Luton, as well as facing Liverpool and Arsenal, which could prove decisive. In other words, it is impossible to predict how this will play out. This means plenty of fun for those who aren’t in the game, and the experience of being alive for those who are. This is going to be spectacularly bad!
Kickoff: 1:30pm
