Liverpool vs Nottingham Forest Preview

Arne Slot has found an immediate rhythm at Liverpool and the Reds look incredibly hard to beat. Luis Diaz has been a stand-out performer early in the season and he can strike against patchy Nottingham Forest.

Head to Head

Liverpool have a 60-31 advantage against Nottingham Forest in 120 meetings with 29 draws. The Reds defeated Forest 1-0 and 3-0 in the 2024/25 season.

Liverpool Form

Since Arne Slot took charge of Liverpool in July, the Reds have won seven and drawn once. The Merseyside team have also conceded just two goals in these eight matches.

Slot’s outfit have been rock solid early in the 2024/25 Premier League season, winning all three matches without conceding. Liverpool comfortably beat Ipswich and Brentford 2-0 in their first two games.

A 3-0 win over Man United came before the international break and Liverpool dominated with 2.1 XG. Luis Diaz scored twice in the first half and Mo Salah added a third just after the break.

Liverpool Injuries

Midfielder Harvey Elliott is ruled out.

New signing and forward Federico Chiesa faces a late fitness test following injury.

Nottingham Forest Form

Nottingham Forest are struggling for consistency and have won just twice in their previous seven fixtures.

Forest began the new season with a 1-1 draw at home against Bournemouth and edged Southampton to a 1-0 win. Nuno Espirito Santo’s side were eliminated from the EFL Cup, losing on penalties to Newcastle after a 1-1 draw.

Another 1-1 stalemate came in the Premier League as Forest were held by Midlands rivals Wolves at the City Ground. Chris Wood put his side ahead on nine minutes but Forest conceded two minutes later and couldn’t restore their lead.

Nottingham Forest Injuries

Defenders Danilo and Willy Boly are unavailable due to injury.

Verdict

Liverpool v Nottm Forest

Liverpool are scoring goals, keeping things tight at the back and look strong all round. Diaz has improved his scoring consistency under Slot and can keep hitting the net against unconvincing Forest.
