Hull City

Hull City will be without Matt Crooks for Saturday's trip to the Emirates after he received a one-match Premier League suspension for picking up his fifth yellow card of the season during last Saturday's game against Ipswich.

We haven't heard any team news from Sergej Jakirovic yet but Ben Dinnery, from Premier Injuries said this, external: "First-team players Jack Butland, Paddy McNair, Darko Gyabi, Christos Mouzakitis, Jens Hjertø-Dahl and Robinio Vaz all started for the U21s on Monday evening, while Óscar Zambrano was introduced from the bench."

One of the biggest reasons for Nottingham Forest struggling in the early days of 2026-27 is their ineffectiveness in front of goal.

The Reds are the lowest scorers in the Premier League, having found the net just six times in nine games.

• New Zealand forward Chris Wood has struggled for goals since his return from injury last season and is yet to net in the league in this campaign
• Igor Jesus has one to his name but has been out injured for the past month
• Forest tried to address their forward line in the summer when they shelled out around £50m for Chelsea forward Liam Delap but the former Ipswich Town man is yet to show much of a return on that investment, scoring just once in eight Premier League appearances

Oliver Glasner and Nottingham Forest are still waiting for their first win and goal at the City Ground this season.

One-goal defeats to Leeds, Coventry and Arsenal and a stalemate with Tottenham in the Premier League - along with the 2-0 Carabao Cup defeat by Leeds - has not got the Glasner era off to the brightest of starts.

The Austrian is not under immediate pressure but with Forest in the relegation zone ahead of Saturday's visit of Manchester City the hosts need some quick results.

There has been evidence of what Glasner is trying to do - with draws at Liverpool and Ipswich and victory at Aston Villa - but more will have been expected after his summer arrival.

Four defeats in their past five leaves Forest in danger of another season of struggle.

The early stages of this season have got that all too familiar feel about them for Nottingham Forest.

Like 2025-26, the Reds are struggling to win games, struggling to score goals and sit in the bottom three of the Premier League.

It has been a nightmare start for Oliver Glasner but will the former Crystal Palace boss be able to get it right before it's too late?

Nottingham Forest boss Oliver Glasner is set to speak to the media any minute.

Everton

That's all from Everton manager David Moyes.

Everton

Everton manager David Moyes on whether there is a lot to be positive about with regard to his squad: "I think there is a lot to be positive about because of how they have been doing generally. I feel as though we could have been doing better had we not lost some players in the summer. I think it would have kept us right amongst it.

"It is very hard to judge the league standings at the moment so I think all you can try and do is get as many wins as you possibly can and perform as well as we've done. I think in the main, the players even in the games we've lost have had good moments and we've been a bit unlucky. Maybe we just don't have the quality to be at the level of some teams but hopefully we will give them all a good game."

Everton

Asked if the international break will be a chance to resolve things with Jack Grealish, Everton boss David Moyes said: "We will see."

On Jack Grealish's availability: "Jack is not available. I would not give you the plan but we will be working with Jack again soon."

Everton manager David Moyes on Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall's potential England credentials: "As I have said many times, thank goodness I don't have to pick the England team because England have so many good players to choose from. Kiernan is getting back to the levels of last year. In the last couple of games he has been very good.

"I hope he does [get called up]. He must certainly be knocking on the door. The position he plays in, there are so many good players. As long as he keeps doing well for Everton, we will be pleased, but if he gets recognised for England then that will be great."

I wish I had the trophies what they had."

Last season, Thierno Barry scored eight goals in 41 appearances. This season, it's taken him just 12 games to match that tally.

On Monday night Barry scored the only goal against Newcastle as his side earned a deserved win at St James' Park in the Premier League, having also beaten the Magpies in the Carabao Cup last week.

Only Erling Haaland (13) has scored more goals among Premier League players in all competitions this season than Barry (eight).

In the Premier League, Barry leads the way for being involved in the highest proportion of his team's big chances. Before Monday's match, Everton had recorded 24 big chances and Barry had been involved in 15 of them (62.5%).

Following his side's one-goal win against struggling Newcastle United, David Moyes confirmed Jack Grealish is "available" for selection.

The former England midfielder missed both of the Toffees' wins over Newcastle in the past week after a disciplinary issue.

Expect an update on that.

Giulia Bould
BBC Radio Merseyside reporte

A lot can happen in a week of football. Two wins over Newcastle in two competitions has lifted the mood considerably. Giulia Bould analyses the recent form:

A lot was made after the deadline day debacle that left Everton with just 18 outfield players, but maybe it is more a case of the saying - 'small but perfectly formed'.

Aside from the defeats by Chelsea and Arsenal, the Toffees are battling against all their critics as well as their opponents to sit seventh, and could go into the top four if they beat Coventry at home on Friday evening.

While David Moyes would no doubt have wanted three or four more in his set-up, the players he has at his disposal have qualities that means his side are tough to beat.

Captain James Tarkowski is having his best season in an Everton shirt, leading by example.

Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall is rightly being touted as someone who should be in the England squad due to be announced later this week, while Thierno Barry has defied many who wrote him off having scored eight goals so far - the number he got in the whole of the last campaign.

Despite the dramatic 24 hours that almost saw him sold in the summer, Harrison Armstrong has started every Premier League game at just 19-years-old, and Tyrique George has been exciting many on the left wing to a level that means Jack Grealish has not been missed.

Everton are also set to face League Two Fleetwood Town in the quarter-finals of the League Cup, a competition they have never won.

Right now, there might not be a long list of names on the squad list, but it has increased the togetherness and brought about a positive feeling and mentality that might have been lost if the manager had a huge dressing room.

Everton boss David Moyes will speak to the media at 13:30 GMT.

Shall we zone in on some of his side's talking points?
