What a grim advertisement for the state of the Premier League this is. Two clubs docked points for financial breaches and potentially dependent on the verdict of an appeals board for their top-flight status meet in a loaded relegation battle at Goodison Park. Forest have not won away in the league this calendar year, but Morgan Gibbs-White and co should be salivating at the thought of facing an Everton defence missing Jarrad Branthwaite, one of the few players of Premier League quality available to Sean Dyche. Everton, on the brink – on and off the pitch – due to the owner, Farhad Moshiri, and his former board, had supposedly “changed the story” according to Dyche with their highly fortuitous win against Burnley. Monday’s 6-0 thrashing at Chelsea, the heaviest defeat of Dyche’s 531-game managerial career, exposed the fallacy of that statement along with the importance of Everton’s appeal over a two-point deduction to their chances of staying up.

Andy Hunter who is he?
At least the human hairpin scored one in six, quite prolific by today's standards.
