Liverpool return to Anfield on Saturday looking to bounce back from a tough 3-0 defeat to Manchester City.
Arne Slot’s side were second-best at the Etihad, and even though two goals came from deflections, the Reds could have no complaints about the result. The loss also ended Liverpool’s long scoring run in the league.
Back home, things look far brighter. Slot has won four of his five Premier League matches at Anfield this season, and the Reds have scored in every home league game for over a year.
But Forest will remind Liverpool fans of the rare exception — they were the last team to stop the Reds scoring at Anfield in September 2024.
Sean Dyche’s team arrive with confidence after going unbeaten in three games and beating Leeds 3-1 last weekend. Forest may sit 19th, but their performances have improved under Dyche, with more shots and more threat in attack.
Liverpool, however, will see this as the perfect chance to respond and climb the table again. With the top spots slipping away, the Reds cannot afford another setback.

Liverpool vs Nottingham Forest: Predicted lineup and team news
Liverpool finally have something to smile about, as Alisson Becker is expected to return after missing games with a hamstring injury.
But the injury problems are far from over. Florian Wirtz and Conor Bradley are now out with muscle issues, joining Jeremie Frimpong and Giovanni Leoni on the long-term list.
Arne Slot must solve a major right-back problem, but in attack Cody Gakpo should replace Wirtz. Alexander Isak is also pushing to start after being benched against Man City, and Mohamed Salah will make his 300th Premier League appearance for the club.
Liverpool predicted XI (Formation: 4-2-3-1): Alisson — Jones, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson — Gravenberch, Mac Allister — Salah, Szoboszlai, Gakpo — Ekitike.
Forest have several players unavailable, with Chris Wood, Oleksandr Zinchenko, Dilane Bakwa, Ola Aina, Douglas Luiz, Angus Gunn, and former Liverpool forward Taiwo Awoniyi all ruled out.
This leaves Igor Jesus and Arnaud Kalimuendo competing for the striker role. Callum Hudson-Odoi could return, while captain Morgan Gibbs-White aims to score in his third straight league game for the first time in his career.
Nottingham Forest predicted XI (Formation: 4-2-3-1): Sels — Savona, Murillo, Milenkovic, Williams — Sangare, Anderson — Ndoye, Gibbs-White, Hutchinson — Jesus.
Liverpool vs Nottingham Forest: Prediction
Nottingham Forest’s direct style under Sean Dyche will test Liverpool, and their recent improvement in attack means they won’t be easy to handle. Liverpool did benefit from the international break, but their inconsistent form still raises questions.
Even so, at Anfield, the Reds should have enough control and attacking power to get the job done. Forest may cause problems, but Liverpool are expected to respond well after the Man City defeat.
Prediction: Liverpool 3-1 Nottingham Forest
