Nottingham Forest, Recent FormNottingham Forest won't feel too deflated by the 4-2 away defeat to Aston Villa, given that their opponents sit a full 12 places above them in the league table. Their share of possession in that meeting was 42%, while racking up 10 shots along the way, 3 of which were on target, in contrast to Aston Villa, who had 16 shots on goal with 6 on target.
Supremo Nuno Espírito Santo will be closely scrutinising his squad's defensive frailties, his back line having shipped 13 goals in their last 6 matches, despite having picked up some points through the 10 goals they've managed to net. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games, but so far this season, they have conceded at least one goal in 11 of their 13 games at The City Ground.
With 4 defeats and just 1 victory in their last 6 league matches, they have had a poor run and will need to turn that around if they want to start climbing the table.
On an individual basis, Chris Wood will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 5 goals in Nottingham Forest's last 6 league games.
Liverpool, Recent FormIn their last match Liverpool enforced their superiority over Luton Town with a 4-1 home win. In that game they recorded 61 % of the possession, with 29 attempts on goal, 13 on target. Their opponents found the target on 3 of their 12 shots on goal.
Manager Jürgen Klopp will be delighted with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 20 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 7 goals conceded in the same period. They've kept a clean sheet in 3 of their last 6 away games, and they've scored in 25 of their 26 games overall this season.
It has been a decent run of form for them recently, notching up 5 wins from the previous 6 matches. They've been unbeaten in 24 of their 26 league games this season.
Mohamed Salah will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 5 goals in the last 6 league games for Liverpool.
The last time these two teams met Liverpool enforced their superiority over Nottingham Forest with a comfortable 3-0 win.
The Reds defence has struggled at The City Ground, having conceded 1 or more goals in each of their last 8 visits. When it comes to breaching the opposition defence, Liverpool know how to do it against The Reds, having clocked up 13 goals against them in their previous 5 meetings.
Forest has lost the last 2 times they've faced Liverpool in the league.
Mohamed Salah has scored in each of Liverpool's last 0 league games against Forest.
Forest manager Nuno Espírito Santo has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Ola Aina (Knock), Willy Boly (Unknown), Gonzalo Montiel (Hamstring), Ibrahim Sangaré (Knock) and Chris Wood (Hamstring) are all currently out of contention for this game.
The injury list is starting to mount up for Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp with Thiago Alcântara (Muscle), Trent Alexander-Arnold (Knee), Stefan Bajčetić (Calf), Alisson Becker (Hamstring), Ben Doak (Knee surgery), Curtis Jones (Ankle), Diogo Jota (Knee), Darwin Núñez (Muscle), Mohamed Salah (Hamstring) and Dominik Szoboszlai (Illness) all unavailable for selection, and Joël Matip (Cruciate ligament) out for the rest of the season.
