Arne Slot and Liverpool do not have a great record against Nottingham Forest in recent years.
In the Premier League, the Reds had won just one in 15 away matches against the Midlands outfit.
Their last and only win at the City Ground before Sunday’s meeting was in 2024 and came thanks to a Darwin Nunez winner.
You get to add one Nottingham Forest player to Liverpool’s squad, who you picking and why?
Anderson, Murillo, Williams, or somebody else?

Slot, for his part, has actually struggled a great deal when playing against Nottingham Forest.
Nottingham Forest fans chant at Arne Slot
Despite winning the Premier League title last season, the Dutchman failed to beat Forest in both their 2024/25 meetings.
Earlier this season, meanwhile, saw the 47-year-old on the receiving end of a 3-0 drubbing.
This week’s match did not get off to a much better start either, with Liverpool looking sluggish and struggling to create anything at all.

In turn, Forest fans in the City Ground could be heard mocking the Liverpool coach in the first half.
To the tune of The Cranberries’ ‘Zombie’, they chanted “In your head, Arne, Arne, Arne” over and over again.
Which Premier League teams has Arne Slot never beaten?
While Liverpool’s 2024/25 season saw them dominate, Slot has yet to beat three teams in the Premier League.
Forest were included on the list ahead of Sunday’s game, as already mentioned.
Elsewhere, after a 2-2 draw earlier this season, Liverpool have failed to beat Fulham in three attempts under their current coach.
Leeds United, who were only promoted at the end of 2024/25, have also drawn with Slot in both their meetings to date.
