The Premier League duel at Anfield Road is the next chapter in a storied encounter.

🏆 Premier League & Series

Arne Slot stands on the sidelines for the 50th time as Liverpool manager in a Premier League match. Of his first 49 games, he won 31, with nine draws and nine losses.

Since 1952, the Reds have lost only one of their 15 matches on November 22 – in 1997 with a 0-1 defeat against Barnsley at Anfield Road.

Liverpool lost this encounter last season 0-1 – the only match of the entire 2024/25 season in which the Reds failed to score. The last time they suffered two consecutive home defeats against Forest was in 1963.

The return match ended 1-1 back then – Forest remained unbeaten in two consecutive league games. The last time they managed three games without defeat against Liverpool was in 1993.

Forest is one of four teams yet to secure an away win in this Premier League season (along with Fulham, Newcastle, Wolves). They lost their last two away games without scoring; the last time they had three such defeats in a row was October 2022.

Against reigning champions, Forest lost their last six Premier League away games with a total of 2-24 goals. Their last victory in such a scenario dates back to December 1994 (2-1 at Manchester United).

Liverpool has lost only one of their last 39 Premier League games at Anfield Road that kicked off at 3 PM on a Saturday (30 wins, eight draws). However, the only defeat was against Forest – in September of the previous season.

🗓 Date & Home Advantage

Liverpool's strong record on this date has held for decades – only in 1997 did they lose a match on November 22. Forest is still waiting for an away win in this league season and has recently suffered heavy defeats against the reigning champion.

⚽ Players in Focus

Mohamed Salah is expected to play his 300th Premier League game for Liverpool – becoming the fifth player of the club to reach this milestone after Carragher, Gerrard, Henderson, and Hyypiä. His 276 goal involvements (188 goals, 88 assists) tie with Wayne Rooney (Manchester United) for the record for a player at a single Premier League club.

Ryan Gravenberch could celebrate his 100th competitive appearance for the Reds.

Forest coach Sean Dyche has achieved two wins, two draws, and one loss from five games since taking over on October 21. Under him, the team has already scored five goals in three league games – previously, they had only five goals in eight matches under Nuno Espírito Santo and Ange Postecoglou combined.

Dyche has lost more Premier League games only against Man City (14) and Arsenal (13) than against Liverpool (12).
