Liverpool are gearing up to face Nottingham Forest today as they return to Premier League action. The Reds will be hoping the international break has given them a chance to regroup following a disappointing run of form. Arne Slot's squad were dealt a heavy 3-0 loss by Manchester City in their last league match, marking another low point in a season that has seen them lose five out of their last six Premier League fixtures.
The Anfield faithful will be called upon to rally their team back to victory. Prior to the defeat against City, Liverpool had shown promising signs with home wins over Aston Villa and Real Madrid earlier this month. Liverpool will be looking to claw back some points in the title race when they take on Forest. However, Sean Dyche's team could pose a significant challenge. Despite a rocky start to the season, Forest have only suffered one defeat in their first five matches under Dyche, who took over from Ange Postecoglou in October. Express Sport brings you all the essential details ahead of the game...

Team news
Liverpool are expected to welcome back goalkeeper Alisson Becker for the clash against Forest. The Brazilian has been out since September, but Slot was optimistic about his return.
However, defender Jeremie Frimpong will remain sidelined. "I expect Jeremie back after the international break because we play from November until March!" Slot said prior to the international break. "I don't expect Jeremie to be fully fit for Forest, but with Alisson, we expect this."
Liverpool's Ryan Gravenberch was rested for the Netherlands' second game of the international break, while Alexander Isak played both games for Sweden as he aims to regain form. Mohamed Salah was given a rest for Egypt's friendly against Cape Verde on Monday.
Liverpool's young defender Giovanni Leoni, aged 18, remains the only long-term injury concern for the club after suffering an ACL injury in the Carabao Cup match against Southampton.
