Nottingham Forest could close the gap to the league leaders to just three points as they welcome Liverpool to the City Ground.
Victory over Arne Slot’s title favourites would further prove the hosts’ candidacy for a European place (or perhaps more) after an outstanding first half of the season under Nuno Espirito Santo.
While they do still have a game in hand in the Premier League, Slot’s side have shown vulnerability in the last 10 days with a draw against Manchester United followed by a Carabao Cup semi-final first leg defeat to Tottenham.
Forest, by contrast, have been in excellent recent form with their top four charge showing few signs of slowing.
Here’s everything you need to know ahead of the fixture.
