Nottingham Forest vs Liverpool Team News

Today's match marks a significant milestone for Nottingham Forest, as newly appointed head coach Vítor Pereira makes his home debut in the Premier League. Pereira, who replaced Sean Dyche, has already made an immediate impact, leading the Tricky Trees to a commanding 3–0 midweek victory over Fenerbahçe in the Europa League. Domestically, Forest currently sit 17th, hovering just above the relegation zone. They will draw confidence from their 3–0 victory over Liverpool in the reverse fixture at Anfield last November. However, they will have to manage without several key players; top scorer Chris Wood, Willy Boly, and goalkeeper Matz Sels remain sidelined through injury.

Liverpool arrive in the East Midlands determined to avenge that earlier defeat and solidify their push for Champions League qualification. Arne Slot’s side currently sit sixth in the standings and are eager to build consistency after a mixed run of away form. The Reds will be missing Wataru Endo, who suffered a recent injury, as well as Jeremie Frimpong. Despite these absences, Liverpool boast a formidable squad and will aim to control possession against a Forest side likely to rely on a compact, counter-attacking setup.
