Comments and predictions for Liverpool vs Nottingham: The Kop dominates

Liverpool and Nottingham Forest are both unbeaten in the Premier League this season and the two teams go head-to-head at Anfield on Saturday afternoon. Liverpool enjoyed an impressive 3-0 win over rivals Manchester United before the international break, while Nottingham Forest shared the spoils with Wolverhampton Wanderers in a 1-1 draw.

Liverpool manager Arne Slot has made a flying start to life at the club, and the win over Man United has cemented their position at the top of the table. Playing at home at Anfield, Liverpool will be looking to extend their unbeaten run and continue their winning run.

As for Nottingham Forest, the draw against Wolves helped them maintain a stable record but still failed to win significantly. Steve Cooper's team will probably have a difficult time facing a Liverpool team in good form and with home advantage. The match promises to be exciting as both teams want to protect their unbeaten record.

Latest Liverpool vs Nottingham team information

Liverpool's Federico Chiesa, though fit for the win over Manchester United, was retained to build up his fitness but could be brought on as a substitute against Nottingham Forest this weekend. Curtis Jones could also return from a groin problem, while Alexis Mac Allister has recovered from an adductor injury sustained on loan with Argentina and is expected to start.

However, Liverpool will be without Harvey Elliott, who is expected to be out for six to eight weeks with a broken leg. Elliott's absence could impact squad depth, especially with Mohamed Salah looking to score for the fourth consecutive game of the season.

For Nottingham Forest, James Ward-Prowse and Morato could make their debuts, with Ward-Prowse likely to start. Danilo is still recovering from an ankle injury, while Willy Boly is out with a calf injury picked up during the international break.

The Liverpool defender will have the task of stopping former player Taiwo Awoniyi, who played for them. Chris Wood will also be trying to score his first career goal against Liverpool, having failed to score in 11 previous games.

Latest Liverpool vs Nottingham expected lineup

Liverpool:

Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Mac Allister, Gravenberch; Salah, Szoboszlai, Diaz; Jota

Nottingham Forest:

Sels; Williams, Milenkovic, Murillo, Aina; Ward-Prowse, Anderson; Elanga, Gibbs-White, Hudson-Odoi; Wood

Latest Liverpool vs Nottingham football review

On a day when the headlines should have been Mohamed Salah's outstanding performance at Old Trafford, the Liverpool star grabbed headlines by adding to the uncertainty surrounding his contract situation, claiming he is preparing for the 2024-25 season as if it were his last at Liverpool.

If Salah does indeed leave Liverpool in nine months' time, he will do so after continuing to cause problems for Manchester United, having provided two assists for Luis Diaz and scored the traditional goal at the Theatre of Dreams in Liverpool's emphatic win a fortnight ago.

A three-goal win over Erik ten Hag's side saw Arne Slot achieve something Jurgen Klopp has only done once in eight full seasons at Liverpool - winning their opening three games of the season - and Liverpool's rapid start means their goalscoring tally leaves them below Manchester City at the top of the table.

Having already established himself on Merseyside, Slot could have etched his name into the Premier League record books this weekend, with no manager having kept a clean sheet in his first four games in charge since 1992.

Furthermore, former Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri was the last to win all four opening games – clean sheets or not – in 2018, and it is a full decade since Liverpool suffered a home defeat just after the international break, when they were beaten by Aston Villa in September 2014.

Meanwhile, Nottingham Forest under Nuno Espírito Santo have also not suffered defeat this season - at least in the top flight - as they ended the international break with two draws and a win to start the new campaign, drawing with Bournemouth and overcoming Southampton ahead of their return to Santo's fold.

Standout star Chris Wood took just 10 minutes to show his aerial prowess, heading home from Elliot Anderson's corner, but just a few minutes later a fine long-range strike from Jean-Ricner Bellegarde rescued a point for Santo's former side.

One of only two teams to have drawn two of their opening three games this season – the other being Bournemouth – Santo's men currently sit ninth in the provisional standings, a position their fans will accept with acclaim at the end of the season.

Including a narrow win over Burnley on the final day of last season, Forest are now unbeaten in four consecutive Premier League games - their best run under Santo - and have also won their last three away games; that run has only lasted four since 1995.

However, speaking of a three-game winning streak, Liverpool have won their last three meetings with Forest and have not lost to a Garibaldi side at Anfield since 1969, when the great Bill Shankly was in charge. It is still early in Slot's reign, but it is hard to point to any weaknesses in the current Liverpool squad, who certainly have no trouble keeping low-scoring specialists like Forest at bay.

The international break shouldn't disrupt Liverpool's momentum too much, so we predict that Slot's all-win record will remain intact as Forest leave Anfield with no points.
