Former Everton man issues 'don't bode well' verdict ahead of Nottingham Forest clash

Former Everton Joleon Lescott is expecting a battle of attrition when Nottingham Forest and the Toffees meet in their crucial relegation showdown.

The sides separated by four points, with third-bottom Everton having the worst scoring record in the Premier League with just 17 goals in 25 games. Since Dyche succeeded the sacked Frank Lampard last month, Everton have scored just twice in five games, winning two and losing three.
