The Premier League is back in action with another round of matches this weekend as Nottingham Forest lock horns with Arne Slot's Liverpool side in an important encounter at Anfield on Saturday. The two teams have experienced contrasting fortunes over the past year and will want to win this game.
Liverpool vs Nottingham Forest Preview
Nottingham Forest are currently in 19th place in the Premier League standings and have not been at their best so far this season. The away side eased past Leeds United by a comfortable 3-1 margin last week and will be confident ahead of this fixture.
Liverpool, on the other hand, are in eighth place in the league table at the moment and have struggled to make an impact this season. The Merseysiders slumped to a damaging 3-0 defeat at the hands of Manchester City in their previous game and will need to work hard to bounce back this weekend.
