Liverpool, the league leaders, are set to host the third-placed Nottingham Forest in an epic face-off in the Premier League 2024-25. Liverpool have dropped points in three of their last six Premier League appearances, whereas Nottingham are on a six-match winning streak.
Interestingly, Liverpool have suffered only one defeat in the PL this season, which came against Nottingham in the reverse fixture on September 14th, 2024. Callum Hudson Odoi's only goal ended the match 1-0 in favour of Nottingham at the Anfield Stadium.

Team News
Nottingham Forest
Nottingham Forest have emerged as a shocking entry in the top four on the Premier League leaderboard this season, and not to forget that we have crossed the midway point. Under manager Nuno Espirito Santo, the team has accumulated 40 points in 20 matches, currently standing in the third position.
Forest are also on a six-match winning spree in the Premier League, while their last appearances saw a 3-0 victory against Luton Town in the FA Cup third round. The Reds of north-west England are not only charging for a Champions League berth but also aspiring high to lift the Premier League.

This game against Liverpool offers them a golden opportunity to decrease their points gap with Liverpool and put more pressure on the second-placed Arsenal, who are level on points with Forest.
Injury Updates: Head coach Nuno Espirito Santo will have to field the best eleven to take on Liverpool without the services of Ibrahim Sangare, who is out due to a thigh injury.

Liverpool FC
Liverpool have not been able to manage to perform at their best in the last couple of outings, although they have bounced back with a 4-0 thumping over Accrington Stanley in the FA Cup third round.
However, Arne Slot's men are not to be judged based on their last couple of outings, as they have already shown immense character and consistency to score goals and salvage points from the games.
The fact that Liverpool have scored at least two goals in their last 12 PL matches, may inject worries among their opponents tonight.
Liverpool are still the clear favourites to be crowned the league champions, but they must not drop points at this point, and perform the way they performed in the advent of the 2024-25 season.
Goals from Diaz, Chiesa & more ahead of #NFOLIV 🤩
