The Reds are looking to build further momentum after back-to-back wins and will be in a confident mood to do so at the Premier League’s bottom club who have not won since the opening day of the season. Even without the injured Darwin Nunez and a benched Trent Alexander-Arnold, the visitors have more than enough to win today.
Victory today will take Liverpool up to fifth, level on points with Manchester United, which is a far rosier picture than just a few weeks ago for last season’s runners-up. Forest, meanwhile, continue to ship goals and make few chances up front so it is highly likely to be another long afternoon for the promoted side.
A draw with Brighton last time out at least stopped the rot for Forest, but their array of new signings will have to be at their best to replicate that result today. Follow the game LIVE with Standard Sport’s dedicated match blog below!
