Liverpool vs Nottingham Prediction: Will be hit by a counter-attack.

Latest Liverpool vs Nottingham team news

There's rare good news for Liverpool as their number one goalkeeper Alisson Becker is likely to return to action on Saturday after recovering from a hamstring injury.

Alisson's return means Liverpool are now only without Jeremie Frimpong (hamstring) and Giovanni Leoni (anterior cruciate ligament), but Frimpong is expected to return in early December. Alexander Isak is also ready, despite some earlier concerns about his fitness.

The £125 million striker was on the bench against Man City but could now be considered for a starting place in place of Hugo Ekitz up front, while Mohamed Salah will make his 300th Premier League appearance for the reigning champions.

For Nottingham Forest, Chris Wood (knee), Oleksandr Zinchenko (hip), Dilane Bakwa (doubtful), and Callum Hudson-Odoi (thigh) are all doubtful, while Ola Aina (thigh), Douglas Luiz (thigh), and Angus Gunn (knee) are confirmed absent.

Wood's absence could be a major blow to Liverpool's plans to exploit their aerial weakness, but Igor Jesus, Arnaud Kalimuendo, or former Liverpool striker Taiwo Awoniyi could all be his replacements.

Regardless of who plays furthest forward, they will receive support from captain Morgan Gibbs-White, who is aiming to score in three consecutive Premier League games — something he has never done before in his career.

Latest football match prediction: Liverpool vs Nottingham

Liverpool fans were absolutely justified in criticizing the absurd decision to disallow Virgil van Dijk's goal at the Etihad, but no fan should be under the illusion that their team deserved any points after a 0-3 defeat against a completely superior Manchester City.

The spirited performances against Aston Villa and Real Madrid in previous matches meant little in Manchester, where Jeremy Doku almost single-handedly tore apart the Liverpool defense and sealed the victory with a stunning curling shot, following goals from Erling Haaland and Nico Gonzalez.

Man City's first two goals were somewhat fortunate as they were both deflected, but there was no element of luck in their classy performance and a fully deserved victory for the home side, a match that also ended Liverpool's 44-game winning streak in the Premier League.

The gap between the defending champions and league leaders Arsenal is currently eight points, and mathematically, Liverpool are almost as close to the relegation zone as Arsenal. This has led fans and experts alike to acknowledge that the championship is unlikely to remain in Merseyside.

However, Liverpool's form at Anfield offers a more positive sign. Slot has led the team to four wins in five home games this season, and it has been over a year since Liverpool last failed to score at home in the Premier League.

However, Liverpool fans need no reminder that it was Nottingham Forest who thwarted their scoring drought at Anfield back in September 2024. Forest return to Merseyside aiming for two consecutive wins at Liverpool's ground for the first time since 1963.

Forest are currently 11 places below Liverpool and 9 points behind, but have shown signs of improvement. Dyche's side are unbeaten in three matches and have lost only one of their last five games in all competitions.

Matchday 11 brought Forest their second Premier League win of the season, as they beat Leeds United 3-1 at City Ground thanks to goals from Ibrahim Sangare, Morgan Gibbs-White and Elliot Anderson, thus narrowing the gap to safety to just one point.

Despite being known for their defensive style of play, Forest under Dyche have taken more shots (13) and achieved a higher expected goals metric (1.6) compared to the time of Ange Postecoglou or Nuno Espirito Santo this season. However, it remains to be seen whether this is a “new coach effect”.

Nevertheless, Forest gave Liverpool a tough time last season, earning four points from two matches, and now they have the chance to go unbeaten in three consecutive Premier League games against Liverpool for the first time since 1993 – a year when only three players in their current squad were born.
