Key Statistics

Liverpool produced two goals from 13 shots against Newcastle on the opening weekend and remain particularly dangerous at Anfield.

Their attacking options are still strong despite several absences.

Forest, meanwhile, have already played twice competitively this season and lost both matches to Leeds.

Their inability to score in either game is particularly concerning before travelling to Anfield.

Team News

Liverpool have a sizeable injury list. Joe Gomez, Hugo Ekitiké, Conor Bradley, Giovanni Leoni, Wataru Endo and Federico Chiesa are all unavailable, with Ekitiké facing a lengthy absence because of an Achilles problem.

The positive is that Liverpool still have significant attacking depth. Cody Gakpo and Dominik Szoboszlai have already scored this season, while the midfield has several options available from the bench.

There are no suspensions affecting Arne Slot's selection.

Forest are without Ibrahim Sangaré and Willy-Arnaud Savona, but otherwise have considerably better availability.

Record signing Liam Delap is among the attacking options who could be introduced if Forest need more directness.

Prediction Analysis

I expect Andoni Iraola to not be handicapped in dealing with this Oliver Glasner side.

There should be goals and I am going with Over 1.5 goals.
