Liverpool vs Nottingham prediction: ENGLAND: Premier League betting tips on match 2025-11-21 15:00.
[p]Liverpool will be desperately eager to get their Premier League title challenge back on track against an improving Nottingham Forest side.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Liverpool entered the international break with their tail between their legs, after a sobering 3-0 defeat to Manchester City consigned Arne Slot’s side to a fifth defeat in six previous league games (W1). That’s as many losses suffered in the preceding 49 top-flight matches, highlighting the scale of the ensuing crisis on Merseyside. The Reds will not be hitting the panic button just yet though, and will be grateful to return home, where they have won four of their five league games so far this season (L1). Anfield continues to be a fortress for the reigning champions amid this alarming slump in form, having suffered just one defeat in their last 22 home league outings (W17, D4).[/p]
[p]The mood in the Forest camp will be comparatively jubilant, after securing their first league win since the opening day of the season with a 3-1 victory over Leeds United last time out. The Tricky Trees have also rediscovered their killer instinct in front of goal too, having scored as many goals in Dyche’s three league games in charge (5) as in the previous eight this season. Continuing in that manner will be key in their quest to move up the table, but this optimism will be quelled by the fact that Forest have lost their last two Premier League away games without finding the back of the net.[/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]Forest could go three league games unbeaten against Liverpool for the first time since November 1993, following a memorable 1-0 win on Merseyside and a 1-1 draw at the City Ground last season. This run came after three successive H2H victories for the Reds.[/p]
[p]Hot Stats and Streaks[/p]
[p]Liverpool conceded first within the opening 30 minutes in all of their five league defeats this season.[/p]
[p]Four of Liverpool’s last five domestic home games produced exactly three goals.[/p]
[p]Just two of Forest’s last seven games saw both teams score.[/p]
[p]Five of Forest’s six away goals this season have come before half-time.[/p]
[p]Key Players to Watch and Missing Players[/p]
[p]Mohamed Salah is expected to become the fifth player to reach 300 Premier League appearances for Liverpool, and could overtake Wayne Rooney’s record for the most goal contributions at a single club in the competition’s history (both on 276). Forest will hope Callum Hudson-Odoi can be passed fit after scoring the winner in this tie last season, contributing to six of his last eight goals coming after half-time.[/p]
[p]Alisson could return for Liverpool on Saturday, while Forest may have Chris Wood available again.[/p]
