The Reds can ill afford a slip-up, being currently one and two points above likes of Manchester City and Arsenal respectively.

Jurgen Klopp’s men picked up their first piece of silverware this season last weekend. Despite bountiful injury problems and a handful of academy players on the pitch, Liverpool found a way to beat Chelsea in the Carabao Cup final six days ago. Virgin van Dijk was the hero as he headed in the only goal of the game just before the end of the second extra-time at Wembley Stadium.

Nuno Espirito Santo’s men are only four points above the relegation area. They lost four of the previous six Premier League fixtures, conceding at least twice in each of the defeats in the process.

Nottingham Forest vs Liverpool Prediction

Jurgen Klopp is hopeful of having at least Mohamed Salah and Darwin Nunez back in the starting XI on Saturday at The City Ground. Even without them, Liverpool are the favourites to claim the spoils here. They have shown a phenomenal team spirit lately and their youngsters thrived in the title game against Chelsea six days ago. They should have what it takes to dispatch Nottingham Forest who lost four of the last six league games. The away win is paid at the odds of 1.53.

We’ve seen at least four goals in each of Liverpool’s last seven league matches. Nottingham Forest conceded three goals to Newcastle and four goals to Aston Villa in recent defeats. All but one of their previous nine Premier League fixtures provided goals at both ends. We have enough reasons to back the Over 3.5 goals FT bet at the 2.20 odds.
