Everton 0-2 Nottingham Forest: Five reasons why Nuno’s side can stay the course

The Premier League table has a retro feel about it at the halfway stage.

Liverpool’s winning machine under Arne Slot lead the way, but their closest current challengers are the ones that have thrown up the real surprise.

With 19 games played, Nottingham Forest lie second and are tussling with the Reds, similar to when they locked horns for silverware in the late 1970s and during the 80s.

Forest beat Everton 2-0 on Sunday with their fans leaving Goodison Park and heading back to the Midlands singing “we’re gonna win the league”.

Doing ‘a Leicester City’ and claiming the trophy might be a stretch, particularly as it would require a significant collapse from Liverpool.

But, for now, they are drinking in every moment.

“We are enjoying it,” said boss Nuno Espirito Santo of their league position. “We are especially enjoying because our fans are enjoying.

“This is what we have to do together, let’s enjoy the journey, compete in every match. Nothing changes, we have to realise we didn’t achieve anything.”

Here, BBC Sport looks at five reasons why Forest are capable of keeping pace for a top-four finish.
