Before entering the FIFA Days series in November, Liverpool suffered a heavy 0-3 defeat against Manchester City. This result not only stopped their two-match winning streak in all competitions, but also dealt a heavy blow to the "Red Brigade"'s ambition to return to the race.
Liverpool suffered a heavy defeat to Manchester City, adding to the pressure ahead of their visit to Nottingham Forest.
Compared to last season, Liverpool has clearly declined this season. The number of losses has surpassed their performance last season, showing that the Merseyside team is having many problems in the way they operate their playing style, pressing ability as well as the stability of their pillars. With the current situation, the goal of competing for the top 4 is probably more suitable for their strength and fluctuating form.
On the other hand, Nottingham Forest are showing positive changes under coach Sean Dyche. After a poor start to the season, Forest are gradually regaining the necessary stability. In the last five matches, they have won 2, drawn 2 and lost only 1.
Although they are still second to last in the Premier League table, the gap between them and safety is only 1 point. That has significantly improved the team's morale and opened up a great opportunity for them to escape the danger zone if they maintain their current playing rhythm.
After a shaky start to the season, Nottingham Forest are gradually regaining the necessary stability.
Although Liverpool are considered to be the better team due to their home advantage at Anfield, the gap between the two teams in terms of current form is not too big. The Kop this season lacks sharpness and courage in important matches.
The defense kept making mistakes, while the offense, although creating many chances, was ineffective at key moments. This made them no longer maintain the superior position against Nottingham Forest as in the past.
In fact, the recent head-to-head record between the two teams is slightly tilted towards Nottingham Forest. The last six matches have seen Liverpool win only 3, draw 1 and lose 2. Notably, Forest have been unbeaten against Liverpool in both of their last two encounters, showing that they are not afraid of their opponents even when playing away.
With stability gradually returning and a spirit of determination to escape, Nottingham Forest can completely cause many difficulties for Liverpool. If they continue to maintain a disciplined playing style and exploit the gaps in the Anfield home team's defense, Forest will be able to leave Merseyside with at least 1 point. In the context of Liverpool still struggling to find themselves, this will be a match with many potential surprises.
