Liverpool will be aiming to maintain their unbeaten Premier League record this season when they face off against Nottingham Forest on Saturday afternoon at Anfield. The Reds are in second place in the league standings, while the Tricky Trees are ninth. Check out our match prediction below.
After Arsenal and Brighton & Hove Albion played out a 1-1 draw in gameweek three, Liverpool are now one of only two sides, along with Manchester City, who have taken the maximum nine points from the first three games of the season.
Nottingham Forest, on the other hand, are also yet to taste defeat in the league this season but their start has been a little less impressive with five points taken from the first three matches. The visitors are expectedly showing up as the clear underdogs in this contest, but can they spring a surprise on the unbeaten Reds on their home patch? Let’s get into the key stats.

Liverpool - Nottingham Forest: Form Analysis
Liverpool got the 2024-25 Premier League season off to an excellent start, overcoming newly-promoted Ipswich Town 2-0 on the road after a spirited first-half performance by the Tractor Boys.
The Reds followed that up with another 2-0 win, this time over Brentford, and headed into the international break with beaming smiles after completely taking apart arch-rivals Manchester United 3-0 at Old Trafford.
With those results, the Merseysiders have extended their unbeaten run in the top flight to seven games, dating back to mid-April of last season.
Mohamed Salah has contributed to six of Liverpool’s seven goals this season, scoring three himself and assisting another three!
Meanwhile, despite being four points behind their upcoming opponent, Nottingham Forest will likely be fairly content with their efforts so far, as they are currently one of only seven teams that have not tasted defeat this term.
Forest played out a 1-1 draw with Bournemouth on opening weekend and beat new boys Southampton in week two, while the only blemish in an otherwise impressive opening stint was being knocked out of the EFL Cup by Newcastle United on penalties.
However, their unbeaten record this season will undoubtedly be at risk here, as they prepare to face an opponent they have lost to in each of their last three encounters.

Liverpool & Nottingham Forest Squad Analysis
Arne Slot could be without four first-team players for this match, starting with Harvey Elliot who is definitely sidelined for at least another month due to a broken foot.
Curtis Jones and Alexis Mac Allister are both flagged as doubts owing to a muscle and groin injury respectively, and the pair will have to pass late fitness tests in order to feature.
Newly signed Federico Chiesa is expected to be named in the matchday squad for the Reds this weekend!
Nuno Espirito Santo has two players unavailable due to injury in Danilo and Willy Boly, both of whom have yet to play a single minute in the current Premier League season.
Chris Wood has caught the eye for Forest in the early stages of the season, netting two of the the side’s three league goals this term, and the New Zealander is likely to continue to lead the line in this one.

Our Liverpool vs Nottingham Forest Prediction
Given that Liverpool are overwhelming favourites heading into this contest, there is very little value to be had on the outright win market, but a second-half victory for the hosts are showing up at very attractive prices.
The Reds have done their best work in the second 45 this season, scoring four of their seven goals in that time, and we feel they will finish this one strongly as well on their home patch. Our Liverpool vs Nottingham Forest prediction: Second Half Result - Liverpool!
