Nottingham Forest vs Liverpool live: Reds seek revenge for Anfield humiliation in Premier League clash | OneFootball

Forest will be difficult, hard to predict with new manager - Slot

Liverpool will look to avenge humiliation at Anfield from earlier in the season as they travel to a Nottingham Forest side in desperate need of Premier League points.

Forest produced one of the upsets of the campaign in November, thumping Liverpool in a 3-0 win at their fabled ground as they capitalised on the dismal slump Arne Slot’s side were enduring.

After replicating that result at Fenerbahce in his maiden Forest outing, Vitor Pereira will hope to emulate what his predecessor managed against the Reds, with his new outfit placed precariously above the relegation zone.

Liverpool, however, are showing signs of confidence and will hope to deliver another win to keep up the pace in the race for Champions League qualification after Chelsea dropped points at home against Burnley yesterday.

Ekitike and Gravenberch back for Liverpool as Reds eye top five

Liverpool have only won once away at Nottingham Forest in more than four decades but there is an incentive to get three points today. It would take them level on points with Chelsea and Manchester United.

Arne Slot brings back Hugo Ekitike and Ryan Gravenberch. With Curtis Jones dropping out, along with Federico Chiesa, it presumably means Dominik Szoboszlai will be back at right-back.

Nottingham Forest are unchanged, less than three days after playing in Istanbul. It would indicate that Vitor Pereira has a favoured team, but runs the risk of fatigue. This is Pereira's first home game in charge; in Sean Dyche's last, Forest had 35 shots but did not score.
