What is the head-to-head record between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest?

There is no previous meeting between these two clubs in our archive, so this preview leans on recent form rather than history between them.

How have Liverpool and Nottingham Forest been playing?

Liverpool's last competitive outing was a 2-2 draw away at Newcastle United on 23 August, in their Premier League opener. Before that, their pre-season included a goalless draw with Como, a 2-3 defeat to AS Monaco, a 2-4 loss to Leeds United and a 1-0 win over Wrexham.

Nottingham Forest arrive in worse shape. They lost 0-1 at home to Leeds United in the Premier League on 22 August, then lost to the same opponent again four days later, 0-2 in the EFL Cup on 25 August. That's back-to-back defeats to Leeds inside a week, one of them a cup exit just three days before this game. Forest's pre-season results were mixed too: wins over Stade Brestois and Bayer Leverkusen, but defeats to Sporting CP, Udinese and Barcelona.

Liverpool FC vs Nottingham Forest prediction

Liverpool should beat Nottingham Forest at Anfield in the Premier League on Saturday. Forest go into the game on the back of two defeats to Leeds United in the space of four days, including a cup exit, while Liverpool have at least taken a point on the road against Newcastle. Nothing in Forest's recent results suggests they can arrest that slide at Anfield.
