Nottingham Forest and Everton have announced their starting lineups for Saturday’s Premier League game at the City Ground.
Nuno Espirito Santo hinted at his pre-match press conference that the likes of Anthony Elanga and Chris Wood could be in contention despite being regarded as fitness doubts.
While Elanga has only been selected on the substitutes’ bench, Wood makes his first appearance since the March international break after recovering from a hip injury.
Nuno has made a total of three alterations and seemingly reverted to a back four, with Alex Moreno returning at left-back after being ineligible to face parent club Aston Villa last time out.
Jota Silva is also provided with just his fifth Premier League start of the campaign, with Morato and Ryan Yates only being named as replacements.
