Nottingham Forest team news vs Liverpool confirmed as Vitor Pereira makes City Ground bow | OneFootball

Vitor Pereira has kept the same Nottingham Forest XI for his first home match in charge against Liverpool at the City Ground.

The Portuguese began with a 3-0 win at Fenerbahce in midweek, when Murillo, Igor Jesus and Morgan Gibbs-White scored in Istanbul. According to Nottingham Post, the Turkish side visit the City Ground on Thursday for the Europa League play-off second leg, but focus turns to the Premier League first.

With 12 games remaining, Forest sit two points above 18th-placed West Ham United. Sean Dyche was sacked after a run of poor results, with the 0-0 draw against Wolverhampton Wanderers the final straw, and Pereira is the fourth manager of the campaign.

He stays unchanged after the quick turnaround and has options on the bench if needed. Ola Aina, Nikola Milenkovic, Murillo and Neco Williams line up ahead of goalkeeper Stefen Ortega, with Ibrahim Sangare and Elliot Anderson in midfield.

Omari Hutchinson, Gibbs-White and Callum Hudson-Odoi support striker Jesus. The bench comprises Angus Gunn, Morato, Dan Ndoye, Nicolas Dominguez, Lorenzo Lucca, Ryan Yates, Jair Cunha, James McAtee and Dilane Bakwa.
