Nottingham Forest and Liverpool are set to face off at the City ground in what is widely expected to be the pick of the matches in the Premier League on Tuesday night. The Tricky Trees are currently in third place in the league standings, six points behind the league-leading Reds, who also have a game in hand on the sides below them. Check out our match prediction below!
Forest are the only side to have beaten this opponent in the Premier League in 2024-25, and if they are to win this match, it will mark the first time they have completed the league double over the Reds since 1962-63. Liverpool won this fixture 1-0 last season to bring an end to a 13-match winless run in the league at the City Ground (W0 D7 L6).
Despite their excellent form this season, bookmakers have installed the hosts as fairly big underdogs, but they showed in the reverse fixture that they cannot be counted out without a chance. Let’s get into the key stats.

Nottingham Forest - Liverpool: Form Analysis
Nottingham Forest continues to defy the odds this season and notched up their sixth consecutive league win last week, beating Wolverhampton Wanderers 3-0 on the road.
That result was the Tricky Trees’ fourth consecutive league game without conceding and another victory here will level their longest-ever league-winning run in the top flight.
The hosts are also on a three-match winning streak at home and only suffered one defeat in their last six at the City Ground, which came against Newcastle United at the start of November.
Forest is the only team to have beaten Liverpool in the Premier League this season!
Meanwhile, Liverpool have been incredible this season but will be looking to return to the win column after being held to a 2-2 draw by arch-rivals Manchester United last weekend.
Still, that result extended the Reds unbeaten league run to 15 matches and was the 12th straight game in which they scored two or more goals dating back to the start of October against Palace.
On the road, the visitors have yet to taste defeat in the top flight this season and have scored a whopping 19 goals in their last five outings, including 11 in their last two away games alone.

Nottingham Forest & Liverpool Squad Analysis
Nottingham Forest received a significant injury boost last week, with Nuno Espirito Santo confirming that Danilo is nearing a return to playing following months of rehabilitation from a broken leg.
Ibrahim Sangare is therefore the only long-term absentee for the Tricky Trees at present, but he too is making steady progress and could be back in the squad by the start of next month.
Mohamed Salah has scored five goals in Liverpool’s last four league matches!
The Egyptian King has been on an absolute tear this season, currently leading the race for the Golden Boot by two goals ahead of Man City talisman Erling Haaland.
Arne Slot has a relatively fit squad at his disposal with Dominik Szoboszlai and Jarell Quansah both returning to the team for the FA Cup victory over Accrington at the weekend.
Thus, centre-back Joe Gomez is the only player confirmed as ruled out for this trip to Nottinghamshire, while Darwin Nunez is suspended due to an accumulation of yellow cards.
