THE LOWDOWN

NOTTINGHAM FOREST

  • Nottingham Forest sit bottom of the table heading into this fixture with just one Premier League win to speak of this season although there have at least been some defensive improvements of late.
  • Harry Toffolo suffered a hamstring injury on Tuesday and will miss out here, while Renan Lodi and Lewis O’Brien are doubts for this fixture.

LIVERPOOL

  • Liverpool backed up their 1-0 win over Man City with a hard-fought victory by the same scoreline against West Ham on Wednesday and they now bid to win three successive Premier League games for the first time this season.
  • There could be one or two changes in personnel given the quick turnaround with the likes of Andy Robertson and Harvey Elliott potentially coming in to freshen things up.

THE TEAM NEWS

NOTTINGHAM FOREST

PREDICTED XI (4-3-3): Henderson; Aurier, Cook, McKenna, Williams; Yates, Freuler, Kouyate; Gibbs-White, Johnson, Lingard

UNAVAILABLE: Colback (Injured), Niakhate (Injured), Richards (Injured), Toffolo (Injured)

QUESTIONABLE: O’Brien (Illness), Lodi (Injured)

LIVERPOOL

PREDICTED XI (4-4-2): Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Gomez, Van Dijk, Robertson; Salah, Elliott, Fabinho, Carvalho; Firmino, Darwin

UNAVAILABLE: Matip (Injured), Konate (Injured), Keita (Fitness), Melo (Injured), Diaz (Injured), Jota (Injured)

QUESTIONABLE: Darwin (Injured)

THE PREDICTION

There are more positive signs in the Liverpool camp now with wins over Man City and West Ham improving their footing in the table, but it only takes another bad result for the questions to start being asked again. They are unlikely to slip-up against Forest though, with the promoted side struggling at the opposite end of the table. They have at least been a little more defensively resolute of late, with their goalless draw at Brighton just their second clean sheet of the season, but the likelihood is that they succumb to an improving Liverpool side.

TIP: LIVERPOOL TO WIN
