Everton needs a consistent scorer to compete for spots in Europe, so could this swap make sense?

David Moyes has been around footie long enough and knows what Everton needs in January.

Goals are key for strikers, and his two guys just aren't doing it. £35m signing Thierno Barry has gotten a lot of chances from the Everton boss.

If Beto hadn't scored two goals, he probably would've been riding the pine by now.

Everton could swap so Moyes gets more goals

Right now, Evan Ferguson is on loan at Roma. He lost his way a bit after breaking through as a teen, but now the 6 ft 2 in guy has found his footing with the Italianos. He scored two good goals against Celtic in the Europa League.

The 21-year-old is often a sub for Roma and might be available again in January. Last winter, he was linked with Everton and Brighton. Brighton wants to cash in on an asset they have but aren't using. It might be tough, but Everton should think about offering Barry for Ferguson in a swap. A change in style might help the France Under-21 player.

Why Moyes Might Want Another Striker

Moyes is only going to wait so long for Barry to start scoring to match his level of play lately, says The Independent.

He can't play six more games and only score once. He's had his shot, but I have to say Beto is starting to show more. Barry needs to keep playing well, Moyes said.

At the start of the season, we subbed them around after 60 minutes because we needed one of them to score. We decided to give Thierno a run to get used to the Prem, but we really want Beto to get back in form too. We need goals from both of them.

Barry's still got value after scoring 19 goals last season in Spain. January could be a good time to sell the 23-year-old if Moyes is done with him. Ferguson has a good Prem record and might be the guy he wants.

Nottingham Forest wants to break a 30-year losing run against Manchester City this Saturday and stop them from making history.

The East Midlands team is in 17th place as they get ready to play Pep Guardiola's squad.

After losing 1-0 to Fulham on Monday, Sean Dyche has a lot to think about before taking on one of the hottest teams in the league at the City Ground.

Man City is expected to win. They're trying to climb from second place to finish 2025 in first.

When they hit the field in the East Midlands, Man City will try and keep up a winning run that started way back in 1995.

What can Nottingham Forest do to stop Man City?

It's been thirty years since Nottingham Forest won back-to-back league games against Man City.

They won 1-0 back in March, but Man City already got even by winning the FA Cup semi-final less than two months later.

Plus, Man City has been on fire in the Premier League, winning their last five games and their last three by 3-0 scorelines.

No team in English top-flight history has ever won four straight matches by three or more goals without letting the other team score.

Also, Man City hasn't lost any of their last 10 Premier League games played between Christmas and New Year's Eve, winning eight and drawing two.

Sean Dyche is still trying to get his first Premier League win against Pep Guardiola, having lost 14 of 16 matches.

If Forest doesn't win on Saturday, Dyche will tie Steve Bruce's record for most losses against Sir Alex Ferguson.

A lot is riding on this game for both teams.

Since it's the 12:30 PM kickoff on Saturday, both teams can make big strides with a win.

Forest could get eight points above the relegation zone, while Man City could jump to first place before Arsenal plays Brighton & Hove Albion later that day.
