This season’s surprise package Nottingham Forest have not only defied many by residing inside the Premier League’s top-four, but their current remarkable six-game winning league streak sees them sit level on points with second-placed Arsenal! Their mettle will be truly tested when they host front-runners Liverpool here, with the Tricky Trees looking to make history by equalling their all-time longest winning league run of seven victories.
Doing so would see Nuno Espírito Santo’s current crop rewrite yet more modern history, as Forest would complete their first league double over Liverpool since the 1962/63 campaign having famously won 1-0 at Anfield in September. They now return to the City Ground, which they’ve turned into one of the most difficult places to visit recently, winning six of their last seven home games (L1), five of which came ‘to nil’.
That doesn’t mean Liverpool will necessarily be feeling the heat, with bad days in the office being few and far between for Arne Slot’s side. That loss to Forest remains their only league defeat this campaign, but they did lose their last away game 1-0 against Tottenham in the EFL Cup semi-final first-leg, before normal programming resumed when recording their 24th win in all competitions this season by brushing aside League Two side Accrington Stanley 4-0 in the FA Cup at the weekend.
Prior to those cup encounters, the Reds were rather lucky to have drawn their last Premier League game 2-2 against rivals Manchester United after turning in a below-par performance. Getting back to winning ways in the league will help the Merseysiders stamp their authority on an already dominant league campaign, and hitting the road has been highly profitable in that endeavour since they’ve won seven of their nine away league games this season (D2).
Players to watch: Callum Hudson-Odoi was Forests’ hero at Anfield, scoring a 72nd minute winner which contributed to each of his last four goals being scored between the 61st and 75th minute. Looking to undercut him will be Luis Díaz, who has scored the game opening goal in seven of his last eight goal scoring outings for Liverpool.
Hot stat: Prior to winning this fixture 1-0 last season, Liverpool hadn’t won any of their previous 13 league matches away to Forest (D7, L6).
