Nottingham Forest preview: Beginning with a bang

Vitor Pereira became the fourth manager of the campaign for Nottingham Forest after the sacking of Sean Dyche and his reign began well in the UEFA Europa League in midweek, despite scrapping against relegation in the Premier League.

The home team come into this one on the back of an impressive 3-0 defeat of Fenerbahce in Istanbul on Thursday night in the first-leg of their knockout playoff round tie with goals scored by Murillo, Morgan Gibbs-White and Igor Jesus.

Liverpool preview: Slightly improved

Liverpool come into this one on the back of a comfortable 3-0 defeat of Brighton and Hove Albion in the fourth round of the FA Cup at Anfield last week, courtesy of strikes scored by Curtis Jones, Dominik Szoboszlai and Mohamed Salah.

That backed up the Reds becoming the first team to win at the Stadium of Light a few days prior with a Virgil van Dijk winner in the second-half against Sunderland about ten days or so ago.

Nottingham Forest vs Liverpool prediction

Nottingham Forest, with their home advantage, will fancy themselves to make things very awkward for the hosts. Pereira managed to immediately improve Wolves last season and propel them away from danger and the very early sign from the other day is that he is capable of repeating that trick. Liverpool are playing well, though, and so both teams scoring seems a good shout on Sunday.

Nottingham Forest vs Liverpool tip: Both teams to score
