The match
As Premier League action returns following the international break, Liverpool will be hoping to maintain their fine start. The Reds welcome Nottingham Forest in a Saturday match, eyeing a fourth straight win in the league and over Forest. Read on for our prediction.
Liverpool boss Arne Slot is enjoying his debut season in the Premier League so far. With three wins in three matches, all coming with clean sheets, he will hope the team resumes to pick up from where they left. Liverpool haven’t conceded a goal.
They thumped Manchester United 3-0 before the break. Returning to a home match boosts them too as they have only two losses in 62 league matches there, and 47 wins. There’s some optimism also in the fact that Liverpool lost only once in the 24 league matches coming after the international break.
Nottingham Forest will be outright underdogs, having suffered defeats in each of their last three meetings with Liverpool. In the last two matches against Liverpool, they failed to score and in Liverpool’s current shape, this should send jitters.
The visitors will, however, want to take positives from the fact that they scored the opening goal in all their league matches so far. It will be a first if they can replicate this against their hosts. Like Liverpool, Nuno Espirito Santo’s men are still unbeaten in the league, though their run only has one win.
An early exchange of goals in their last game saw it end in a 1-1 draw with Wolverhampton Wanderers. With only one clean sheet in four matches this season, this seems like a game the visitors will struggle in.

The bet of our experts
Last season, Nottingham Forest managed only four away wins in the league. One of their 11 away losses was at Anfield, where they’ve suffered defeats in both recent visits. They come into this game facing an opponent that has dominated them and is on a fine run so far.
Liverpool rarely drop points at home and going by their start, this should end in a win. They are also the best defensive side in the league so far. Our prediction for Liverpool v Nottingham Forest is for Liverpool to win with a clean sheet.
