One of four EPL games to be played on Sunday sees Nottingham Forest and Liverpool clash at City Ground, where the hosts will be searching for a first win under their new manager, who comes into this game having masterminded continental success on Thursday evening. Playing under Vitor Pereira for the first time, the Tricky Trees demolished Fenerbahce in the UEFA Europa League on Thursday. Can they bottle that effort and repeat it in the league?
Having made the UCL Round of 16 automatically, Sunday's visitors had no game during the week, meaning that they've had longer than their hosts to rest and prepare for this fixture, which follows a comfortable FA Cup win over Brighton last weekend. Having seen his team win two on the spin in all competitions, keeping back-to-back clean sheets, Arne Slot will be looking for another strong performance.

Our Nottingham Forest vs Liverpool Prediction
Looking at the early lines ahead of this game, a relatively low-scoring game may just be more likely than +115 would have us believe. There's no way that the hosts will take an all-out attack approach here. In fact, don't be surprised if Pereira sets his men up to contain.
What's more, the visitors have tighetened up at the back recently, keeping three clean sheets in their last four on the road in all competitions. Two of those four games have contained one or less goal. Add in that less than three goals have been scored in each of Forest's last four home EPL games and 'Under 2.5 Goals' really does start to look leniently priced at odds of +115.
Our Nottingham Forest vs Liverpool Pick: Under 2.5 Goals.
