Liverpool and Nottingham Forest face off in a feistyPremier League clash with the former looking to mount more pressure on the sides above them and regain glory this term.
Jurgen Klopp's men enter the contest after completely thrashing French side Toulouse in the Europa League. Despite being dumped out of the UCL, the Reds have shown no signs of mercy for their rivals in the Europa League with three wins in three games. Turning back to their domestic campaign, Liverpool are fourth in the league but have the perfect opportunity to leapfrog Arsenal and Manchester City with the latter scheduled to indulge in the Manchester Derby on Sunday. Multiple referring errors against Tottenham did ruin their winning momentum but the Reds bashed Everton in the Merseyside derby to stay just behind the sides above them.
Nottingham Forest, on the other hand, are trailing in the bottom half of the table and despite being six points above the drop zone, the English side would be wary of losing more games and adding misery to their campaign. In their previous five games, Forest have managed to pick up just four points out of the available fifteen as their hunt for a first PL win since their victory against Chelsea continues. Despite facing an in-form opposition, Nottingham Forest are well versed in the process of defeating Klopp's side and could spring a surprise on Sunday.
