Everton began their new season with a narrow 1-0 loss to Chelsea, before suffering a second consecutive defeat at Villa Park last week. Danny Ings and Emi Buendia netted for Villa, before Everton pulled one back courtesy of an own goal by Lucas Digne. It was an even contest at Villa Park but the hosts managed to secure all three points. Forest, on the other hand, managed to register their first win of the campaign against the Hammers last week. Taiwo Awoniyi’s lone strike in the first half injury time was enough for Forest to take all three points. Prior to that, Steve Cooper’s side had lost 2-0 to Newcastle United on August 6.
