The City Ground will host a key clash in the Premier League relegation battle on Sunday when Nottingham Forest face Everton.

Both sides are battling the drop and the Toffees slipped back into the drop zone recently after back-to-back defeats.

Four points separated Everton in 18th place from Forest in 13th ahead of the weekend, with at least eight teams at risk of the drop in a frantic relegation battle.

Sean Dyche oversaw an immediate impact when he was appointed by the Merseyside club, masterminding wins over Arsenal and Leeds.

But a 2-0 loss to Aston Villa was followed by a 4-0 thrashing at the hands of the Gunners in midweek and the former Burnley boss now needs a response from his players.

Forest have picked up one point in their last three league games, a creditable draw with Manchester City, but were on the receiving end of a 4-0 hammering at West Ham last time out.

Kick-off is at 2.00pm GMT. Make sure you know how to watch the Premier League wherever you are.

VPN guide

Use a VPN to watch Premier League football from outside your country

If you’re out of the country for a Premier League fixture, then you won't be able to watch on your domestic streaming service as usual. The broadcaster knows where you are because of your IP address (boo!) and blocks you from watching it. You can use a VPN to get around that, though, without resorting to illegal feeds you’ve found on Reddit.

A Virtual Private Network (VPN), assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs, creates a private connection between your device and t'internet, meaning the service can’t work out where you are and will let you watch. And all the info going between is entirely encrypted, anonymous and safe – and that's a result.

There are plenty of good-value options out there. For the Premier League, FourFourTwo currently recommends:

ExpressVPN
