Current Premier League table, top scorers and upcoming fixtures

Liverpool team news
The only expected absentees for Liverpool are Stefan Bajcetic, Calvin Ramsay and Naby Keita.
Klopp could name an unchanged roster following Monday’s demolition of Leeds at Elland Road.

Liverpool predicted line-up against Nottingham Forest
(4-3-3): Alison; Alexandre-Arnold, Konaté, Van Dijk, Robertson; Fabinho, Henderson, Jones; Salah Gakpo Iota

Nottingham Forest team news
While Klopp has only a handful of minor injury worries, Cooper’s great squad has been cut short for fitness reasons. However, Nottingham Forest should be able to accommodate some of their injured contingent soon, with Willy Boly, Serge Aurier, Ryan Yates, Omar Richards, Gustavo Scarpa and Dean Henderson all close to returning.

Giulian Biancone and Chris Wood are out for the season, while Cheikhou Kouyate is still weeks away from returning.
Expected lineup for Nottingham Forest against Liverpool
(3-4-1-2): Navas; Felipe, Niakhate, McKenna; Williams, Freuler, Shelvey, Lodi; Gibbs White; Awonyi, Johnson

Liverpool vs Nottingham Forest score prediction
Liverpool remain as ruthless as ever at Anfield, losing just once all season at home in the Premier League. Compare that to Nottingham Forest’s awful away record and that’s certainly a banker for the Reds.

Mohamed Salah has scored up to 15 league goals despite his season being considered below his standards, while Diogo Jota, Darwin Nunez and Cody Gakpo are all back on the scoresheet. Luis Diaz should also speed up his reintegration here. It could be a long afternoon for Forest.

Prediction: Liverpool 4-0 Nottingham Forest
