Liverpool vs Nottingham prediction: ENGLAND: Premier League betting tips on match 2024-09-13 14:00.
[p]Arne Slot has enjoyed a dream start to life as Liverpool manager, overseeing wins in his opening three games without conceding. He’s the first boss to do that in the Premier League since the late Sven-Göran Eriksson, and the first Liverpool manager to do so in a top-flight setting, with his last win certainly the most popular among fans as it came away to arch rivals Manchester United (3-0)![/p]
[p]The Dutchman will be hoping the international break didn’t halt their momentum, but this Liverpool squad look set up to cope as they’ve lost just one of their last 24 league games when coming back from an international break (W18, D5). Confidence will only be increased by an Anfield return, a venue the Reds have lost just twice at in their last 62 Premier League games (W47, D13). [/p]
[p]Visitors Nottingham Forest seemingly have their work cut out to say the least, but they’ll also be motivated by their own undefeated start to the Premier League season (W1, D2). Things could’ve been so much better for Nuno EspĂrito Santo’s men however, as they took the lead in both of their 1-1 draws against Bournemouth and Wolves.[/p]
[p]Doing so here would be an achievement of its own given Liverpool’s defensive prowess, but the Tricky Trees may back themselves regardless as they’ve won their last three away league games. None of those grounds were Anfield though, a venue that has haunted Forest, who haven’t won there in 26 visits (D6, L20), a run dating back to March 1978! [/p]
[p]Players to watch: Mohamed Salah has had an electrifying start to the season with goals in each game so far, and he’ll be gunning to become just the second Liverpool player to score in the opening four games of a Premier League campaign after Daniel Sturridge in 2013/14. Attempting to end a drought will be Forest’s Chris Wood, who has failed to score against Liverpool in 12 previous H2Hs – all of his last six goals have come before the 30-minute mark. [/p]
[p]Hot stat: Liverpool have won eight of their last 11 home league matches by 2+ goals. [/p]
