Liverpool vs Nottingham Forest preview

Liverpool will be confident of recording a third-consecutive victory at Anfield this weekend when out-of-touch Nottingham Forest visit.

The Reds enjoyed a comfortable 2-0 win in the Merseyside derby last weekend before hammering Toulouse 5-1 in the Europa League on Thursday.

They did so with several first-team players on the bench, but the likes of Mohamed Salah, Allison, Virgil van Dijk and Luis Diaz should return to the starting XI feeling fresh.

Liverpool are unbeaten in their last 24 home league games against Nottingham Forest (W19 D5), while they’ve lost just one of their last 46 Premier League games at Anfield.

It looks a stiff task for Steve Cooper’s side, who have shown a lack of ruthlessness this season.

Forest have only lost one of their last five, but they haven’t won any of those and blew a two-goal lead against promoted Luton Town last weekend.

Saying that, they have given a good account of themselves on the road this year, beating Chelsea and pushing Manchester City, Manchester United and Arsenal all the way.

Liverpool vs Nottingham Forest betting tips

Mo goals…

Let’s not mess about, Mohamed Salah is flying having already grabbed seven goals and four assists this season.

The Egyptian has been directly involved in 17 goals in his last 13 Premier League appearances at Anfield for Liverpool (14 goals, 3 assists), either scoring or assisting in every appearance.

Salah has 84 goals and 32 assists in 115 home appearances for the Reds and is just four goal involvements behind the Premier League record at Anfield, held currently by Steven Gerrard.

Dom delight…

Dominik Szoboszlai has hit the ground running at Liverpool.

Granted, he’s scored once and not provided an assist in 12 appearances – but it’s not for want of trying. The Hungarian, 23, has created the most chances for Liverpool in the Premier League this season (21).

He’s fired off 20 efforts on goal in 810 minutes of league action with a shot every 40.5 minutes on average. Only Mohamed Salah has had more attempts.

Correct Score Combinations…

There’s precious little value in backing Liverpool to win given they are around 2/7 with most bookmakers, but there’s a decent angle with correct scores.

The Reds are highly likely to score more than once, while Nottingham Forest have blanked in their last two away trips. Only four sides have registered less attempts on goal than Cooper’s side, while Liverpool have one of the lowest xGC (expected goals conceded) in the division.
