Nottingham Forest v Liverpool

Nottingham Forest vs Liverpool Preview

Nottingham Forest could find themselves in seventh heaven on Tuesday night when they play host to the league leaders Liverpool at the City Ground as the Tricky Trees have racked up an impressive six wins on the trot in the Premier League and no doubt Nuno Espírito Santo's side will fancy their chances here.

Liverpool were held to a 2-2 draw at home by Manchester United last time out in the Premier League which has seen The Reds' lead at the top of the table to six points ahead of second placed Arsenal but nevertheless, the merseyside hosts are now unbeaten in their last 15 matches overall.

Recent wins against the likes of Manchester United, Aston Villa, Brentford, Tottenham, Everton and Wolves have helped transform Nottingham Forest from previously struggling down in the lower reaches of the Premier League table to potential top four finishers in the top flight as the east midlands club currently occupy third place in the standings.

Prior to this excellent six-match winning streak though, Nuno Espírito Santo's side had slipped to three defeats within their preceding four games overall which consisted of defeats at the hands of Newcastle United, Arsenal and Manchester City respectively.

Forest have lost just twice at home though so far this season, picking up five wins in the process but goals may be in short supply here as six of Forest's nine home games to date have resulted in Under 2.5 goals.

Liverpool may have failed to win last time out in the English top flight when they were held to a 2-2 draw by old rivals, Manchester United, but the visitors still hold a useful looking six-point cushion over second placed Arsenal ahead of this midweek trip to the City Ground on Tuesday night.

Ironically, Liverpool's only defeat so far in this season's Premier League campaign came in the form of a 1-0 defeat at home to Tuesday night's upcoming opponents, Nottingham Forest, but otherwise, Arne Slot's side have been a cut above the rest of the division so far this term.

14 wins within their total of 19 league matches played so far this season further underline Liverpool's dominance and The Reds also still remain unbeaten away from home this season having collected seven wins along with two draws on their travels.

Liverpool have scored two or more goals in eight out of their last nine outings on the road along with keeping four clean sheets within this period as well, and although this upcoming fixture in the east midlands my be a low-scoring affair, Liverpool look in good shape to gain the three points here.
