Liverpool vs Nottingham Forest: Predicted lineup, injury news, head-to-head, telecast

Gameweek 10 of the Premier League is underway

Anfield has always been one of the Premier League’s most daunting destinations, and it’s Nottingham Forest who have the unenviable task of attempting to breach the Liverpool fortress on Sunday, with Jürgen Klopp’s side looking to maintain their outstanding run of home form. The Reds dismantled Toulouse 5-1 in Thursday's Europa League contest, while Steve Cooper's side threw away a 2-0 lead against Luton Town to draw 2-2 last weekend.

With just the two top-flight wins to their name so far this term, Nottingham Forest is dancing with the devil in 15th place, and while they still have a healthy six-point gap to the relegation zone, their position becomes all the more volatile should they fail to arrest their autumnal slump. It will be a very important clash for both teams as both teams will look to give their best.

Players to Watch Out

Mohamed Salah (Liverpool)

Salah is predominantly known for his speed, movement, clinical finishing, agility, dribbling skills, first touch, and ball control, as well as his ability to use both his pace and flair on the ball to beat opponents and create scoring opportunities for himself or his teammates. He is always a threat to the opponents no matter how his current form is.

Morgan Gibbs White (Nottingham)

Even though he is small in stature but still is a big threat to opponents as he can play as a winger as well as an attacking midfielder. Even though his performance is not often consistent still he is capable of scoring as well as providing assists to his teammates.

Match Prediction for Liverpool vs Nottingham Forest

That controversial defeat at Tottenham is the only time Liverpool have been beaten this season. Their forward players can cause the Forest backline huge problems here and while Premier League clean sheets have been relatively rare for the Reds. The home will come out as the winner since the forest side is struggling with form.
