'We must be ready' - Nuno on crowded fixture schedule

Nottingham Forest will aim to extend their four-match winning run in the Premier League when they face Everton on Sunday.

Asked after Thursday's win over Tottenham how hard it is to prepare for another game in quick succession, Nuno said: "Very difficult. That's why we have to be really careful with our recovery.

"Tomorrow and after tomorrow is not about preparing [for] the game - it's about recovering well and arriving at Everton and competing.

"Both teams are going to face the same issues so there is no advantage for either [team]. It's about how well we can compete under the circumstances."

Everton have drawn with Manchester City, Chelsea and Arsenal in their previous three games.

Asked whether Everton's style of play makes them one of the most difficult opponents Forest could have faced at this time, Nuno replied: "It is so hard [against] every team.

"But this tight schedule - we were ready for it, we must be ready. Now is the moment to be careful and every player in the squad must give a hand. Even those that didn't join our squad [against Tottenham] must be ready."
